It’s once again time for the NJ Thanksgiving Hang!
Planning to head out into the NJ Pine Barrens as usual this Thanksgiving weekend. We’ll be at Batona Camp Friday through Sunday. Folks are welcome to join us around the fire – we’ll be at site 4, feel free to come say hello.
This year we’ll be car camping again. Like last year, no signup sheet (unless there's a strong desire for me to make one). I wasn't planning on organizing group meals, though again we certainly can if it makes sense. Sticking with the minimal “organizing” theme of recent hangs - consider it less of a traditional group hang, and more an invitation to drop by. We’ll have wood and a warm fire, all the other details are up to you. If you plan on camping out, grab a site. There are a few sites already reserved for a change (sites 1, 5, 6, and 9 are not us), so there will be other non-hammock folk in camp. I'd suggest sites 3, 11, and 12 be booked first as needed.
When: Thanksgiving weekend, Friday November 24th – Sunday November 26th #optoutside
Where: Batona Campground
Sites: Reserve your own site(s) as needed. We’ll be at site 4 and can use the fire ring there to hang out. Sites are reserved online at: https://www.njportal.com/DEP/NJOutdoors
Food: We’ll grab some firewood, but meals will be BYO. The water pump was out last weekend when we were there, with no ETA for fixing. So plan on bringing water in.
Cost: Whatever your site fees are. If you feel so moved to pitch in a few bucks for firewood (or to bring some to add to the pile), we won’t say no.
A Note About Temps: In past years, we’ve seen the temp drop down into the teens, and we’ve occasionally had some folks underprepared, though we do our best to prevent that. We’ll know better once it’s closer but plan ahead, and don’t be caught off guard. Since it's car camping you can always bring extra gear just in case.
