12 miles. Join us for a loop hike on the Batona and Mullica River trails out of Batsto. We'll keep a good pace as we hike along the Batona Trail to Quaker Bridge, have lunch, and return via the lovely Mullica River trail. An ankle-deep water crossing is likely near the end. So, enjoy some green trees, quiet creeks, and easy fast-paced walking in this winter wilderness. We may alter the route if there is significant snow. Foul weather cancels the trip. This is a long hike while the days are short, so be prepared. An optional dinner in nearby Hammonton is also possible. Meet at 9:00 AM at Batsto Village (39.644742, -74.647067). Meeting point for carpooling: Media, 101 Trolley at Orange Street, 7:30 AM (which departs 69th street at 7:00 AM). Contact the leader by 8:00 PM on Saturday, February 2 if you want to meet in Media. Cost: $1.00. Leader: Gary Sawyer, (C) 484-478-2607, muddyboots@comcast.net.
