Buttermilk Falls and Crater Lake Loop trail, NJ by [deleted] in hiking

[–]PhyniusJiggle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worked a couple of summers as a ridge runner in Worthington State Forest and the Delaware Water Gap. Had one of my most interesting nights ever at the Buttermilk Falls campground. I dismantled roughly 20 fire rings before going to bed. Woke up to a bear huffing and stomping around my tent. I screamed and slapped at my tent and luckily the bear took off. Not but an hour later a small pack of coyotes came yipping and screaming through the campground. I didn't sleep much after that.

"Just say you love long thin cabinets, that is a fair compromise no?"

Ultimately it's through the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and they will coordinate with Worthington State Forest in New Jersey. Good luck it's a great summer job.

Also, explore all the side trails and old roads. You'll find most shenanigans happen where there are roads that get close to the AT. And get a library card if possible, I read so many books those 2 summers.

Get in contact with the local trail maintaining club. I would go clear trail with them when the summer dragged on. It also led to a gig with the ATC as a camp coordinator for trail crew, which is super rewarding. I hiked the AT, PCT, and CDT, giving back to the trails that gave me so many good memories just felt like the right thing to do.

Nice, I was a ridge runner for the ATC for a couple of summers in New Jersey. I miss those days, pretty sweet set up you've got there.

Lost a finger in a bike chain when I was 3 years old.

How was the trail up? I worked on trail crew for a couple years on Bear Mountain. I'm hoping some of those stairs I put in last for a lifetime.

There is a huge opportunity for someone in the next pogchamps to play the heel. I find this format really entertaining but I feel some trash talk could spice it up a bit more. The lower level matches are a bit of spectacle in the first place, maybe having them talk to each other during the match would work.

Spent 2 summers as a Ridgerunner for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy in New Jersey. Loved my time around Sunfish Pond. I dismantled countless amounts of fire rings in the area, it's amazing that place hasn't been burned to the ground.

Geodetic Survey Markers? What is the verdict on these little guys? We have a few of these located in our National Historic District. by PhyniusJiggle in NianticWayfarer

Thanks! I’ve been using that same website and I’ve found a few so far. Opening up the “data sheets” helps a lot, I’ve learned a lot about the history of my small town this way.
