[at-l] Speaking of New Jersey

[greyowl at rcn.com (greyowl@xxxxxxx)]

North Jersey is absolutely beautiful, and the Pine Barrens 
are fantastic.  Great hiking up north (AT and the Highlands's 
Trail [still under construction]).  Great Canoeing down 
south.  It is just around New York City were things start to 
deteriorate.  My son goes to school in Newrk.
