Pre-running Trans New Jersey Trails

Looking at the whole route from Google Map at street level, we are all clear!

Here is one of the screenshots from our camp site @ Spruce Run. Althought photo is from 2011, its still accurate.

Going to talk to the boss about it this weekend and let you guys know if we're definitely down.

It's going to depend on [emoji190] sitter availability. My cousins may want to join as well if we end up going

Just an FYI, We are very close to Atlantic City. If you guys want to go there for dinner before you head home just say the word.

We can go to a place I frequent when I’m in AC:

Atlantic City Bar & Grill
1219 Pacific Avenue
Atlantic City, NJ 08401

or :hungry: We can do smorgasbord at the Casino. :cheers:

I just booked the sites, however someone took the adjacent spot at Spruce Run (Friday). I'll give the campground a call and see if the people are willing to switch with us so we can stay as two big sites, if not then it's not the end of the world.

If you want to grab the second SUV slot allowed at the sites shoot me a DM. I don't find it necessary to split it with everyone, if you really want to pitch in just buy a bundle of wood when we're all together. I think that should more than suffice. I just don't want to keep track of everyone who's trying to pitch in lol.

By the way, no dogs allowed at the first site :mad2:

Sorry guys, we're not going to be able to make it on this trip. We're hosting my sister's engagement party at our house on August 5th and still need to finish construction on the house.

Have a great time!!

Yeah, that's me. The ExpoPortal thread is here.
 
Pre-run of the TNJT is around 540 miles according to the final GPX, that includes going to Atlantic City after we hit the Cape May destination. The GPX will be available on Overlandnyc.com. You do not have to download the GPX, this is just an option. You can click on the DATA link, then choose GPX to download it. Once you finished downloading the file, Import the GPX file into Gaia GPS App on android/iOS, or your favorite GPS/Mapping app.

A tutorial on how to import gpx files into Gaia GPS:
