i really dont know much about down there

 

*clears throat* Off to the left, pine trees, off to the right pine trees. A little further down the road and Eastward you will see more pine trees. Not those tall majestic ones you may think about watching Discovery channel but the scrawny ones that block visibility at eye level but let the sun come down and bake you. Bake you but doesn't dry you out because of the excellent %90 humidity that keeps you moist.

You will notice that the road on which we are traveling is sandy, it consists mostly of sand, pine needles and other sand by-products. Since it rained it's wet sand and a bit of mud. On top of the wet parts you will find a fine pond scum suitable for making the undercarriage of your jeep smell like a swamp without actually being in a swamp.

If you are truly lucky you will find some jackhole's dumping ground where you can find a stove, mattress, cement, cans, rusted out cars, toaster and usually a doll of some sort.

This concludes our tour.


I kid I kid. There can be some nice spots in Wharton and I've been going there most of my life. I especially like the trails near streams and some lakes and some fun water holes to go through and find a way around. Check out Basto site or this site for some info http://jeep.off-road.com/jeep/Trail+.../detail/340514

I'll try to come but a 2 year old has been keeping me home most weekends or I am up in the Poconos.

 

Looks like the meeting place should be the Batsto Ranger Station at the Wharton State Forrest.
Let's see a show of hands to see who's (90%) in....

 

I'm a possible! I'll check with the wife. However, where exactly is it? If I'm looking coreectly, east of Camden? Off 206? Is that right? It's a haul, but I've been meaning to get up there and wheel.
