If I can coodinate my schedule I'm up to tag along. I'm new to overlanding .. Bought an F150 two months ago. It's stock except for a set of +1 sized General Grabber AT2 so I'll be taking it conservatively and learning as I go.
Also, if anyone is planning to do short sections of the trail (like 1/2 - 3/4 day trips) between now and then me know.
Does anybody have any information on when the boondocking areas might reopen? I'd like to do the southern leg and do a night of dispersed camping.

@AdventureMule I wish I knew. I want to do the same but it seems our Control Freak Gubner has priorities jacked up
Thanks. It seems like the area restrictions are easing up- you'd think that outdoor camping in the middle of the woods would be one of those restrictions that might see some letting up.

A few weeks ago Gov Murphy said something to the effect of Sleepover summer camps opening for children. he also stated that state campgrounds will remain closed for the unforeseeable future

Has anyone called him? He has an election coming up and I have found phone calls to have pretty good effect.

A flood of phone calls is a wonderful idea!

In the south, camping is available at ((I believe) Lebanon/Byrne S.F., Atsion Family Camp in Wharton, Belleplaine SF and commercial campgrounds. Makes no sense that wilderness campsites remain closed.

Go to page one of this thread. You’ll find it there. Was originated with LeadNav, works well with Gaia

Try it on the computer, I sometimes don’t see links when I use the OB app on my phone

Good news! I saw this on another website:
Ok, found it. It looks like some are accepting reservations and some aren't. Godfrey, Hawkins, Goshen, and Bodine are still showing up as closed on the reservation website. Mullica River and Lower Forge (maybe others also) are open as of June 1.

anyone know if the roads around High Point are open yet? Believe they typically open in April at some point.

Here’s what I do know about High Point:
2Feb21 we were allowed to drive into the park without paying a fee and got to walk to the monument.
For the roads that are seasonally closed, I believe they open 1 April, I can’t confirm personally for another few weeks though.
I also have a question...
Does this and when will this be open?

It's unfortunate that this was done on software only available on iPhones. I would love to do this trail but the experience on Google Maps or Gaia is awful. Even a paper map would be better.

Have you ever used Blue Force Tracker or Tacnav? Lol
Type “Gaia gps Lifestyle Overland” into the search bar on Youtube and they’ll square you away, no more issues with Gaia.
Enjoy

TRANS NEW JERSEY TRAIL TRIP
Hello everyone, I'm looking to give the Trans-New Jersey Trail a go. m thinking of either doing it in sections or in one shot. I'm open to either since I live in the vicinity of the southern and northern sections of it. seeing if there's anyone out there that would want to team up with me and...
