Comment by Brian and Mike on March 1, 2014 at 4:40pm: John and Peter- Sending you both a private message.

Comment by Peter on March 1, 2014 at 1:33pm: John, that is what I figured too with it being completely snow covered. I had looked at the park map before leaving this morning and spent over half hour trying to find it. Good you found good coffee at least John.
Maren- Good you were able to find javier, maybe you found the lot on mountain top rd? See ya next month.

Laura - Thank you!

Comment by Maren on March 1, 2014 at 12:13pm: I ended up finding Javier while we were lost and trying a different lot with him sometime around 11:15. I'm so sorry for the confusion! Catch ya next month...

Comment by John on March 1, 2014 at 12:09pm: Hey guys, sorry I couldn't make it. I couldn't find the parking lot. I had a printout from the park map and as best as I can tell the lot hadn't been plowed and was under about 12+ inches of snow. It should have been on the right before the road split off towards that YMCA camp. On the plus side the local QuickChek had pretty good coffee :)

Comment by Brian and Mike on March 1, 2014 at 11:39am: Peter - Maren got lost as well, if you never find her know we owe you a hike for sure! So sorry about this one.

Comment by Peter on March 1, 2014 at 11:27am: Are you still out there? I drove back to Hackettstown.

Comment by Peter on March 1, 2014 at 11:23am: I never found it. I went up and down penwell rd.I almost went into ymca lot. The only point mountain parking lot I found was on point mountain rd
