For the most part, the AT in NJ is a very accessible area. That incident happened a few years ago at Worthington St Forest, in the Del. Water Gap area (red/white blaze to the top of Mount Tamminy). I...
Dave,
Worthington's was a great place. A young woman working there a few years ago told me the owner was very sick, but I never really found out wha happened. The next time I was in Culvers Gap, the...
Here's a tip.....put a Bounce dryer sheet in the sweat band of your hat or a high pocket on your pack (use several in different locations for more results).....the gnats, skeeters and deer flies will...
I use a similar "Uncle Ben's Rice Bowl"....about a 16 oz super cheapo recycleable plastic thing....weighs next to nothing, but it's convenient because I can throw it out after I return home. I also...

Just an FYI....
The monument at High Point State Park reopened June 1, 05. The tower was closed in 1996, due to poor repair and some dummy that painted the inside of the limestone obelisque with...
Up until 2 years ago, this shelter was less used. It's at the southern end of High Point State Park and it's off quite a distance off the AT, down the edge of Dutch Shoe Rock. DirtyBird and his crew...
Deckerton Pike water pump was shut down in 1998 due to contamination (Giardia and bacteria). There's a spring about 5/8ths of a mile north on the Iris (Red blaze) trail. Desperado, Dirty and crew...
As a weekend warrior and thru hiker supporter, I usually carry a gallon and a filter. Personally, I consume about a quart and a half per day, but it can't hurt to have extra...and if a hiker's in...
