I am a hiker, but I highly respect the work done by mtbNJ in Sourland Mountain Preserve and Washington Valley Park. You men and women are the best. But, the Yellow at Washington Valley has a problem for hikers. When we hike up the new main trail from Gilbride, we come to the road and the main...

I do not have time for this, but I just got in a huge argument with my hiking buddy and I want to know what you think. The triangle signs say a biker should give way to a hiker, I say this is absolute rubbish. He says that the signs absolutely saved off road biking. I say that that signs...

Hiking clockwise, the Connector trail at the top of the hill needs biking and hiking activity. It is getting overgrown.

Thanks for the note.

J- I spoke to Stephanie Fox today. She actually remembered me. I told her how pleased we were, she was fine. She never mentioned anything negative. Canal Rd and bikes never came up. She told me how much of a struggle it had been, but that, of course, she was pleased that it had gotten done...

We were out at the Red Dot Trail today and saw the new bridge work. We are ever grateful.

Thanks. Interesting, I got notice of your post right away, I never saw J's reply.

Thanks for the reply. I saw some guys today and when I told them I had made the donation, they advised me of your reply.

What happened to the plans for the bridge at Cross Brook on Red Dot (the spot where Cross Brook joins with Six Mile Run, the spot with the high bank and chunk of concrete?) I actually sent $300.00 to JORBA people care of Halter's. The check went uncashed for months, then was cashed. I had met a...

I made a donation of $25.00. There was no spot to earmark the donation. Picturing the spot, I can see how it could easily flood.

Thanks for the reply. I had asked the Park superintendent about this spot last January. She said she knew the spot and that a bridge was to be put across the feeder creek in March. She said JORBA would be involved. She did not say what kind of bridge I am too old and creaky for trail work...

Actually, neither. Red Dot, from Canal Rd, up from the turn off to Jaques, then go a ways in the open, then left and down into the woods, the trail turns right, and you come straight ahead to a feeder creek, Six Mile Creek on the left. The feeder is several feet across, with some large rocks...

Thanks. I did find that for us hikers, we can bushwhack a bit to the right and the stream is quite narrow. But, hey, I am old, jumping is not so easy. Thanks again, we will look forward to the future.

Mother's Day is long gone, and it does not sound like the same bridge.

Does anyone know about a bridge that was supposed to be built across a feeder creek, up from Canal Rd, past the cut off for Jaques, continue up the open trail, then left and down hill back into the woods, the trail swings right, nears the creek, and then a feeder creek cuts the trail, pretty...
