[at-l] New Jersey hikin'

[halflifelost6@hotmail.com (Rich Bowyer)]

We have had a 1/2" rain on Sept 4th and a 1/4" rain a few days after the 
11th of Sept.  Not a drop since.  We are bone dry here in NJ.  The only 
thing I have been able to come up with (and it looks like we may have missed 
him) is a large beaver damn about 1.25 miles off the trail.  It is almost 
directly NW of Sunrise Mountain.  Access to that for a north bounder is to 
bushwack a few hundred feet and pick up the Tinsley Trail from Sunrise 
Mountain Rd., then north on the Swenson Trail.  This would mean missing the 
summit.  Or pick up Bannon Trail (then Cartwright) about a 1/2 mile north of 
the summit and backtrack a good 2 miles.  The beaver damn holds a large 
amount of water and is only 200 feet from the spring cabin found on most 
local trail maps.

Now that I think of it, the tower trail leads to a girl scout camp with 2 
ponds...I'm tired....I'd delete this but it could be of help to someone.
