"As part of a 16 or 17 state highpoint blitz of the Northeast this August while working remotely 8 hrs a day from various Starbucks. After a short sleep in an interstate rest stop (what is that night 5?), it was onward to New Jersey after a $50 fine for missing a toll ticket which apparently I can get refunded. And turns out NJ is a state park that has a $10 out of state fee ;{ There was no one around and I some how felt compelled to park in the "monument parking" and walk when it turns out I could have driven to the summit. Oh well I needed the 10 minutes of exercise and a guy at the summit said the stairs were open in the monument which apparently is rare so I climbed them to disappointment that you can't actually get out at the top...just an internal stairway that was big. Off to work in Fishkill, NY and then onward to Rhode Island this evening. Setting up for a 4 peak weekend including 15 mile Mt Marcy before heading back to Michigan for the final one in the East and home to Calgary." — alexjoseph • Aug 9, 2019

"Quick loop of Mt Tammany today. Took the red dot trail to the blue trail and followed the AT back. The blue trail was quite muddy but not too difficult to skirt. Total loop was about 3.5 miles." — pandyabear • Apr 21, 2019

"Found great beta here: https://www.catskillhiker.net/NJ1K/peaks/upperpohatcong.shtml All in all, not as bad as I thought it would be. Must of lucked out in terms of avoiding the pricklers." — robertocampo • Apr 6, 2019

"Had a few hours so grabbed a couple NJ1K bushwhacks today. First was Pochuck Mountain, a straightforward bushwhack through swampy terrain from CR 565. There’s a geomarker near the summit area, and you can see the slopes of Mountain Creek through the trees." — wacbravo • Mar 23, 2019

"Had a few hours so grabbed a couple NJ1K bushwhacks today. Second peak of the day was Hamburg Mtn High Peak. Started bushwhacking from Sand Pond Road, but quickly picked up a woods road that skirts the private property around the lake. Followed that and a network of other woods roads around the lake a good ways then bushwhacked a short jaunt to the wooded summit area. Uneventful, but a nice quiet day in the woods.
