    NJ > Batona Camp>11/7 to 11/9 /14>Hiking the entire Batona Trail

    This is the best weekend for me to hike the entire Batona Trail. I'd like to slackpack (i.e., no backpack) the entire trail but would need some logistical support from my HF brethren. I thought it might be best to reserve campsites at Batona camp for both nights, and get a ride back to Batona after the Buttonwood Hill section.

    Friday, 11/7 - Ong's Hat to Batona Camp - 18.7 miles to 21.7 miles
    Saturday, 11/8 - Batona to Buttonwood Hill - 16.3 miles
    Sunday, 11/9 - Buttonwood Hill to Lake Absegami/Coal Road - 15 miles

    I might even like to reserve Sunday night at Batona as well, just to recuperate in the woods.

    I can't do that weekend and the following weekend I have a wedding on Sat but can be around Fri/Sun.
    Hopefully others are available for support.

    I have an album on my profile page with some pictures of the Franklin Parker Preserve reroute in case you want to check out the "bridges" that we're installed.

    Like I said, I'd like to slackpack if possible, so any logistical assistance is appreciated. Here's my wish list:

    Fri Nov 7 - Pick up permit at Batsto and drop car off at Ong's Hat. Hike to Batona with est. arrival of 6 pm.

    * I could use a ride from Batona back to my car at Ong's Hat.

    Sat Nov 8 - I'll leave my car at Batona.

    * I need a pickup at Buttonwood Hill camp approx 4 pm and ride back to Batona.

    Sun Nov 8 - 9 am

    * I need to drop my car off at Lake Absegami. Need a ride back to Buttonwood Hills to complete the hike.

    I see interest from three GSHDA-NJ officers. Should we make this a sanctioned GSHDA-NJ event along with all the pomp and circumstance associated therewith?
