If anyone wants to shoot me their car info via pm, we can make sure the office knows.

Otherwise, unless you are renting a site (and that's me, ratdog, and SS), you do NOT need to check in with the office at Batsto.

Do they have maps at the office? Do you need a map if going in from Batsto?

Yes, and not really.

The trail from Batsto (or Atsion) to the Mullica River Wilderness Camp is via the Mullica River Trail, which is blazed in yellow. It's pretty clearly marked, and as long as you're not hiking at night is pretty easy to follow and difficult to get lost.

However, if in doubt, by all means ask for a map at the office (or there's a board outside the office that I think has maps). The only tricky part is the detour because of the bridge being out (it's been 5 years now, they may as well just call it the new trail

) and even that's not too hard to figure out and navigate.

Nevermind, by the looks of the pdf, its pretty tough to miss.

Cool, thanks - I guess it never hurts to have a hardcopy. I don't plan on coming in after the sun goes down - but it sure seems to happen more often than not. I think I am better setting up camp in the dark than daylight... or I just care less at that point.

Change of plans ... I'm running late due to technical difficulties.

Tonight.

I kid. I'm probably looking at closer to 12 unfortunately.

Had to work from 10pm-4:30am. Heading out to unload pickup and load firewood. If I'm lucky, noon. Will drive gear, wood, passengers back if needed, then have to go back to work for a bit. Might be walking in when it rains later.
