I80 Overpass to NJ23 (Port Jervis)

[RICHS07]

Am thinking of doing this 41 mile section either northbound or southbound next spring/summer. Can anyone tell me any highlights/information about this section (e.g. how many days, camp at what shelters, sights to see, etc.)? I'm doing this because I can get easy shuttle pickup from Scranton, PA to each of these locations. Thanks in advance.

Really nice section. a little rocky, but not Pa. Backpacker site is cool, Mashipicong Shelter is cool. Anderson and Rutherford are dumps. There are many sites to stealth. Excellent views for the entire walk. Both fire towers are locked, but still nice views. More bears than raccoons. Have fun, really nice section.

Might read over my TrailJournal entries for NJ. I'm somewhat detail oriented.
