Looks like it was an awesome time.
If the weather had been different up at Blue we definitely would have been there. Wifey is interested in doing some of this fun off-roady type stuff with the Renegade - and when I suggested she tried driving on some of it she seemed in to the idea.

Those pics make me wish I had a place closer to me, as well as more time on the weekends, to do stuff like that.

Next time I'm out that way for a few weeks lets do this! Unfortunately I've been stuck in FL lately.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Aug 20, 2018 11:00 am Real trail talk: Apex and I met up and tackled a section of the TNJT yesterday. Some of the other local dirt-surfing DFD contingent went to Blue Mountain to tumble off their bikes, but we decided to take advantage of an otherwise and useless day and hit the dirt in a different way.
The TNJT is a route that was originally constructed by two-wheeled adventure riders, and it's since been amended to be both more legal (no private property) and also accessible to four-wheel vehicles. It stretches over 400 miles from end to end, from High Point State Park in the north, to Cape May in the south, twisting and winding it's way through all kinds of terrain. Paved, unpaved, dirt, sand, mud, and... even water. The section that we chose to tackle ran from Jackson NJ to Barnegat, NJ, through Colliers Mills Wildlife Management area, Whitesbog Historic Village, and Brendan T. Byrne State Forest. Most of this part of the TNJT is unpaved; we hit fireroads and doubletrack, with the occasional stretch of asphalt in between. We saw areas of the state that most don't even know exist: 100+ year old cranberry bogs, decommissioned nuclear bunkers, and miles and miles of sandy fireroad that take you deep into the most isolated areas of New Jersey.
Overall, we had a fantastic ride - the trail was in good shape with only the occasional downed log that was cleared with a quick tug, and although it's been a very wet summer, the water crossings and wet sections we did encounter weren't impossible to navigate. I would not suggest doing this in a car, though. Clearance and elevation are... somewhat necessary.
Anyways, onto the photos!
