Sanity Check: State Line Trail, NJ--NJ 94

[dperry]

The wife and I will next tackle the stretch between the State Line Trail junction just inside New Jersey, and the NJ 94 crossing north of Vernon. It will be this coming weekend (May 2-3), and we'll spend the night at Wawayanda Shelter, the only legal camping spot. Any information, hints, things to watch out for, etc., anyone could give on this stretch would be greatly appreciated, particularly the following:

--How safe is the parking on NJ 94? I note on the Wawayanda Shelter thread that someone had his back window broken there.
--Speaking of the shelter, is the bear box functioning properly there?
--What are the hours of the Wawayanda park office?
--Are we going to be devoured alive by the bugs?

Thanks to all in advance, and thanks again for the help with our last hike as well. I promise I'll have the trip report and pictures up sometime. :rolleyes:

Did that section about three weeks ago. It rained while I went through. Stopped for a quick lunch at the shelter on my way to the State Line Trail. I was coming the other way and had started at Pochuck. If I recall the trail was in good shape very few blow downs compared to parts of the trail further south of there. Sorry I don't have more info for you.
