Introduction

I'm 42 going on 43, share a house with my girlfriend Su. We're avid hikers and sometimes bike up here around the parks in northwest NJ. Our home is in Hopatcong. And this is my second time organizing a group.

First, please tell me about the last place when/where and you hiked or road a bike. How far did you go, was it hilly, hot, cold, wet, dry etc etc etc

Allamuchy North to a peak southwest of Cranbury lake two weeks ago. It's hilly, and the weather was cold. I think it was 5-6 miles.

Second, what's you're favorite place to go when you want to get out into the woods?

Wildcat Ridge/Split Res. is probably my favorite place to hike because there are a lot of relics in the woods and that makes it interesting

Third, do you bring a pack when you hike, if so what's normally part of your kit?

A MAP! always, always, always...flashlight, headlamp, water, snacks, knives, rope, first aid kit that includes remedies for the type of injuries that are likely to occur, benedryl type meds, bandages of different shapes and sizes, iondine wipes, dental repair kit, sewing kit, a SAM splint, CPR mask, matches or lighter, extra batteries, any prescription med's that I'm on, poncho (even if it's sunny), note pad, shoe laces, sweatshirt, enoslite pad, gps reciever, cell phone, camera, bug spray, wipes, zip loc baggies

Did you ever get lost in the woods, if so how did you find your way out?

No, I always familiarize myself with the area before I get there. I always bring at least one kind of map, and a GPS receiver and my cell phone that has can also be GPS receiver.
