Mario remember or trip to wharton? I think things went something like this... (correct me if i'm wrong)

mario: wheres the entrance?
me: somewhere on 206
mario: how do i get there?
me: its kinda hard to explain, no trail head, only a dirt path. i'll meet you at wawa.

True Story:
In nj we have reallly civilized areas, then vast amounts of land and rednecks (who don't have gps) for them they give directions by the ruts in the road. If your lucky they'll share with you the unknown gems we got here, cause they may not have gps, but they don't need it, we do. And the way i found that spot, is that a friends dad who wheeled there told us about it, gave us the it's after the bridge and farms directions.

HAHA... Indeed, Tom. However, when we did the last Wharton Trip, we went in through the Atsion entrance...

Regardless, if we do wheel this Sunday, we're gonna be looking at some slop! :flex dirty:

The video of Stokes looks interesting... some hills and such. It is North Jersey, so it's a ride for Bot...

Might not be too bad. I'd like some more mountainous terrain, anyway. I don't know if I'd wanna hit a water hole like that deep ass-one after a Noreaster

As it stands, I think we need to stay away from water for sure. With all the rain and the north easterly winds affecting tides, things could get pretty questionable. As you can read, we discussed a place in North Jersey, but it might be a bit of a haul for you and I.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume tomorrow is a no go. Weather isn't too pleasant anyway. Lets get something together before it gets too cold.

I'm up for whenever we can do it... realistically, can anyone make this sunday?

Maybe we'll try out stokes... or we can go wherever is easiest for everyone.

I'm up for it. I'd like to wait until Brendan is ready, so we can break him in. Haven't heard anything about his status...
