Do you have a smartphone of sorts that can download Gaia? If so it can be loaded into that or you could unzip the file and load it into Google maps as well.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into it!

It’s open, there may be a couple trees down in some sections and some sections may be closed for winter but there are winter routes.

You can get the gpx from backcountry discovery routes. Just google it. They’re free.

I could entertain an extra vehicle to tag along. It’s really not that tough of a trail to warrant a second rig, all the off asphalt sections were smooth gravel roads. I was thinking about checking out the MABDR to see if I could incorporate some of those trails into the VTPAT for a reroute of...

I can send you the MABDR but I’m not releasing the VTPAT yet. I’ve only done from Maryland to Woodward in PA. I don’t want to release something that I haven’t 100% proofed out yet. Plus, the VTPAT is sooo easy. It’s like a scenic drive lol. Hold on, I have a video from when I ran it.

I’ve used axes, machetes, and the above before to move downed trees. The machete helps with the smaller branches if I...

Just so everyone knows, the wonderful Governor of NJ stated, as of last night at 8pm, for all NJ State Parks and Forest are closed. Don’t get caught in the parks and forest running this trail. You may face a fine for being in the park/forest.

It’s because it’s a zip file. To open it you will need to load it into a gps app like the one I mentioned in my original post.

Must not of looked hard enough. It’s there. Lol

Yes, they are all closed. Also some of the public facilities like restrooms and such are closed as well. I would say maybe by May or June you’ll be able to make it happen.
