This Week in METROTRAILS: Atlantic City!

 Hey all,
More good stuff coming up...this week we have the next in the series to hike the entire perimeter of NJ, this time around Atlantic City area. I also plan to do a night hike on Friday.
For the night hike, we will meet on Changewater Road, Washington Township NJ at 3:45 pm, where the road crosses the river directly under the former Changewater Trestle site. The map should be accurate on our announcement on Meetup.com here: http://www.meetup.com/Metrotrails/events/125021152/
Note that the night hike will be on part of the Warren Railroad which can be very wet.
Sunday, join us for this terrific loop hike in and around Atlantic City!
Meet at the Absecon Railroad Station, located at 1 White Horse Pike, Absecon NJ at 9 am.
We will use a train to fill in the gap of this almost loop utilizing some of the Casino areas, bay side walkways and roads, a long stretch of beach, and some other little parks meandering through Pleasantville, Absecon, and vicinity!
We won't wander through the casino areas as much, this time spending some extra time at the beach for swimming.
We'll continue along the back roads and a few random trails I found!
About five miles will be beach. There will be a little road walking at the beginning through Pleasantville, a short trail, and then the Linwood Rail Trail. We'll turn off of this to head south over the causeway to Margate City. From there we'll follow the beach to AC. We'll finish up in town and take a train back to where we started. It only costs a couple of dollars. Should be a nice one!
Contact me if you need any further details!
