For the group meals, am I right in thinking people have their own mess kits? We're not expected to supply utensils and plates?

Would you please give a non-native, North Jersey resident some information on how to find the Atsion Office?

Thanks!

Atsion Park Office
(Atsion Ranger Station on google maps)
From the North:

NJTPK South
Exit 7 to 206 South
206 South to Rt 70 circle (Red Lion Circle...Red Lion Diner/ w/ a lion out front) 3/4 of the way around the circle, stay on 206 S
Continue Rt 206 South towards Hammonton
Pass the Pic-a-lili Inn (firetruck in parking lot because their wings are so "hot")
Office on your left, turn at break in guard rail. (lake will be on your right)
Don't worry if you overshoot it, you can turn immediately after the office as well.

So basically, just get on 206 South and stay there until you arrive.
Some landmarks after exiting the NJTPK:

Heading south on 206, shortly after exiting the Turnpike, NADE Car Auction on your Left
Further South, passing under an overpass at the town of Columbus
Columbus Farmer's Market on your Right
On a bit, WaWa on your Right (not the best WaWa)
Intersection of 206/537 Pandora Diner on your Left
Intersection of 206/38 (aka 530) Vincentown Diner on your right, Wawa w/ gas on your left
Intersection of 206/Retreat Road (Vincentown) Wawa on your right
Intersection of 206/70 is a circle - Red Lion Diner
South past the Giant Gorilla (Mighty Joe's)
When you see the Pic-a-Lili Inn, you're almost there

Sure!

The Atsion Office (not a ranger station - they seem to be particular about pointing that out) can be found here:

My Qigong meditation will begin at 10:00 PM. There will be a cone of silence around Site 2 at that time. Just sayin'.

I've been told I sometimes saw wood at night. I'll stay away from your area. :-)

For those using phone gps, Atsion Ranger Station shows up on google maps mobile. For getting to the camp, enter "Carranza Memorial" and it'll show up - the entrance to the camp is diagonally across the road from the memorial.

We usually have plates, bowls and plastic ware etc..., but most people bring their own. We just like to make sure that if someone leaves it on the counter trying to rush out, they are not eating with their hands from a hat.

Thanks much, Ratdog - with this much detail, I'll probably get lost only once or twice. Turns out, if you call them on the phone, they'll tell you: 744 Route 206, Shamong, NJ, which is a little shorter. (BTW, I thought "Shamong" was something Michael Jackson used to sing. ) Hope you can make it by for a little while at least.

HammockGear has graciously donated two $100 gift certificates (good for quilts and tarps) for the raffle. Thanks, HammockGear!

Love HG! I guess I should like you better, too, SilvrSurfr, since you seem to always score the HG gift certificates. These will put a big dent in my next order.

I was just kidding, Kidd - I don't meditate at night. My Qigong work is a 5:00 AM morning meditation that begins with a a piercing yell to clear the mind - and the forest - of distractions. Such as Brockleigh.
