Walking ... The Batona Trail

For my birthday we were in Iceland where, in addition to some touristy type things, we did a six day trek across the southern volcanic highlands.

But that's a topic for a post [series of posts] on another day.

After we got back Patty was itching (!!!) for something to do. "Why don't we hike the Batona Trail?" she suggested.


The trailhead is maybe three miles from our place as the crow flies, and five by car.


The other end is a bit over fifty-two miles away, across three state forests, Brendan Byrne, Wharton, and Bass River, as well as through the Franklin Parker Preserve.

Our plan was to hike the trail in sections, based on where we could leave our cars, taking a week to do it.  52 miles divided by 7 days works out to about 7.5 miles a day. As our guide from Iceland, Frimann, would say, "manageable".

We'll see.
