nj off-roading

wharton isnt illegal from what ive read just now, and the illegal places you get tresspassing tickets.

how about that ranger station? thats pretty close to where we're going rite? everyone want to meet there? someone can find the address of it and we can setup a meeting time.

 

nate i'm trying to get eveyone west to meet off 322 say commador bagel... anyone coming over the delaware memorial can meet me at The flying J gas staition in deepwater it is exit 1c, then from there we can meet Rich and John and anyone else coming from that direction.

 

everyone that wants to meet at Atison Recreation area Off 206. We can go in right around there. Lets say 9am..or 10am

 

go to google earth and that show some good sat veiws.

 

It would be nice to get out, but Sunday will be the dry day and I am busy with the family on that day. Enjoy your trip, the roads I mentioned are usually easily driven, but with the rain comes the possibility of puddle issues, but again the roads I suggest don't have bad puddle spots.
I just retired my 16 year old pines cruiser (Ranger) and have had my new taco for only 3 weeks, but already had it in the woods 2x. Most of the main roads do not require 4x4, but the side roads can have various problems that changes with the seasons (puddles in winter and sugarsand in summer)
You could also help the woods by taking a trash bag or two and picking up any bottles or cans you find. The pines seems to attract more and more of this stuff which really ruins the view.
Enjoy

 

we are goimg in 2 weeks.... the 25th.

 

You may drive on most of the dirt roads in the pines legally, with the same rules that apply on road. There are private roads that would be trespassing, but most of these are either gated or clearly marked. In any case as long as you stay in the State Forest lands there is no problem. Just stay on the roads, driving slow to enjoy the ride and to be sure another vehicle, hiker, bicycle, motorcycle, horse, etc rounds the corner in front of you and is coming at you on a 15' wide road. The best way to deal with an approaching vehicle is to pull over at the first pull-over spot you can to allow the other vehicle to pass. This is the best/fastest way for both drivers. Obviously, do not get caught with alcohol. Rangers are not often seen, but they do patrol the roads daily.

 

so where are we meeting again? I notice some of u guys are meeting at the Pilot in South south jersey...

I'm not far from Wharton... give me the address where we are meeting for everyone to meet up and then head over to wharton!! I just hope some of you guys can pull me if sh*t hits the fan!

 

I just might get a chance to get out there. What time are you guys meeting and how many are there--I'll look for you if I am in the area
(09 Silver Access 4x4)

 

looks like flying J off exit 1c on 295, commador bagel off 322, or atison recreation area off 206.

im about 20 min north of the flying j, i can meet you there too if its ok. ill just convoy with you guys till we get to our final destination. you think if we meet at the flying j at 9am, it will give us enough time to work our way over to atison and meet the final groupe by 10?

 

I don't see why not. I'm going to finalize some things on this and get a list of folks who are going and where they want to meet. I have to get the best directions to the place. I've never been there so its new to me. It can't be that hard to figure out i can read a map and gooole earth has some good sat views. Give me a few days and i will get the final details work out.

 

Im up in staten island, there are lots down there, could never find the same one twice, but let me know...if im free ill make that trip

 

How about 10:30am at wharton. For you meeting us over the bridge 8:30. If another time would work better i'm open.


Lets started a list on who's going and where you are going to meet the convoy.. At atsion ranger station or flying j Truck stop Carneys point NJ.
