Porkroll, egg and cheese on a hard roll w/ketchup should be the official state food of NJ. +1 on the pepper.

I'm also looking for hiking partners in PA & NJ. I'm currently working on NJ (missing NY to Sunrise Mountain) and PA (missing DWG to Hawk Mountain Rd and Rt 138 to Duncannon). I've been hiking...

Not a thru-hiker but I am a displaced NJ native (now in VA). Since I visit my family in NJ quite often, I plan to try finishing NJ SOBO this year. Day hikes, loops, biking between trail heads, out...

Thanks for the info Lone Wolf.

oops, without a 4X4....

Has anyone taken the forest road up to the Scales? I'm curious what kind of shape it's in. Good shape, bad, don't try it without a 4X$, bring a winch 'cause you might need it, etc.

Yep, looks like an extra 54 miles.
Sorry about my sentences, it's been a long day: Should have said: and take the train to Harpers Ferry,

Front Royal is a tough one for public transportation. There's no train and I don't think there is a bus either. Shuttle is probably the only way. You could fly into National and take the Harpers...

I saw Meru last night and thought it was good. I like the mountaineering documentaries, so I might be biased, but I thought it was worth seeing.

From the comments section of the article: Lost in the woods and could not find any wood to burn?

If you get a chance, take a look at Storm Over Everest 1996 on U-Tube. Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer is also good read on Everest.

As of today, there is plenty of water at rt 491 6 miles south of Pen Mar. The stream at the road is running and there is water coming out of the rocks at Raven Rocks. On a side note, Raven Rock...

I was at Gathland this a.m. and hiked SOBO to Weaverton. The bathrooms are closed for the season, but the water spout is working like a charm. So, there be water in them hills. I'll be north of...

I've been thinking this issue for a while now. If I head south, it will take me 2.5 hours to get to a section I haven't hiked yet. If I head North, with the exception of Md, which I saved along...

I recall some type of structure near the parking lot. I'll check it out.

I'll be doing some day hikes in Md during December and will report what I run across. If I end up at Gathland, which I think I will, I will check on the hydrant if I can find it. I know where the...

Well done, thanks for posting it.

AliciaG It didn't help me this time, but I'll use it in the future. Thanks for posting it. The bag was on my doorstep when I got home from work tonight! I'm sitting here typing with the bag...

Thanks to everyone for the input. I pulled the trigger tonight and bought it thru backcountry. I've purchased items from them before so I feel comfortable using them again. I bought the long bag...

Thanks for the input Colorado_rob.

I’m thinking about picking up a Marrmot Plasma 15 degree bag. Does anyone have any experience with this bag? I have a 40 degree Marmot and am satisfied with it. I’m a little under 6’ and weight...

Thanks for posting Perrymk.

Very cool, thanks.

Thanks for info johnnybgood. I'm pretty much set on parking at Bearwallow and bicycle to Cornelius Creek Shelter, maybe Parkers Gap depending on my legs. I figure it's a 15 +/- bike ride to...

I'm thinking about hiking for a few days in the Buchanan area and as always, I have questions. I'm looking at the AT between Petites Gap and Bearwallow Gap, maybe South to Black Horse Gap.
