Yes. Also, a note on the sign saying which way to turn and about how far 
to walk for the trail on the other side wouldn't hurt.  Sure it is 
mentioned in the handbook, but the extra reminder is worthwhile and 
sometimes those things are hard to spot.

On a different note: one real nice thing in the NJ/NY guide book is that 
they discuss trail accessability via public transportation (bus/train). I 
wish other books would do that. Now, I know in a lot of places such 
access probably just does not exist, but if it does I'd like to see 
mention of it in the book.
