Reminder: Do Not enter caves and mines (bat habitats)
A reminder: the folks at NJ Endangered Species are requesting hikers DO NOT enter ANY mines or caves. This is to prevent the further spread of the white-nose syndrome fungus that is killing NJ bats. This will apply in NY also. The caves in Hibernia are closed, Roomy Mine is closed.
These closings are until further notice. Thanks for cooperating and caring about the bats.

Vandalism in Pequannock Watershed - NJ
A word of caution for those hiking Pequannock Watershed and parking along Clinton Road, or at any of the parking areas for the Watershed. Two kayakers returned to their car to find the passenger window smashed, and a wallet and cell phone stolen. Please take all your valuables with you, please lock your car. This is a fairly remote area with very minimal police patrol and delayed police response.
