Confused F


I would like to just pop a tent, make a fire and cook some food, and go fishing and relax for a weekend.. any ideas around northern NJ/eastern PA? Thanks!


Answer
The following page on the NJ DEP website lists all the state parks and forests with camping. Primitive camping (e.g., without established site boundaries and masses of other people) is only available at Wharton State Forest in the Pine Barrens. There are plenty of rivers, creeks, ponds and lakes in the Pine Barrens, but fishing is a challenge because of the dark tea-colored waters (a result of the high iron content in the soil -- the Pine Barrens was a major producer of iron in the early 1800's.

Other state parks and forests are also very nice. If you're limited to Northern NJ, Stokes is another favorite camping location, but they lack the seclusion available out in the primitive sites at Wharton.

There are over 100 privately-owned commercial campgrounds in NJ, but they have little extra to offer in terms of camping basics, unless you want electric, water and sewer hook-ups, a swimming pool, game room, real bathrooms with hot water and laundry facilities, oh, and don't forget the accompanying crowds, blaring musing, screaming kids, racing golf carts and drunken arguments.

There is no legal dispersed camping in NJ except for along the Appalachian Trail, and even here camping is strictly regulated.

Ironically, though I've done lots of camping in PA and NY it was all on private land (with permission, of course), or at one of the traditional family camping areas.

why do people think the blair witch project is scary?

It is soo not scary. I watched it with my girlfriend and it was super gay. Everyone is like "oh the blair which project" "oh so real its scary" It is not. Sure even if it's based on true events. The teenagers acting in the movie is a joke. And I thought it would be scary but its just a bunch of kids in a tent and some witch making scratching noises on the tent. It just seems like a game of scaring each other. Do you guys think the same?


Answer
it might be something to do with when it came out it used a lot of tricks and stuff to get people interested
They presented the film as if was a true story with the whole video tapes that had been found in the wood thing. Im sure a poster for blair which that was written "2 years ago a tape was found in the woods" or whatnot - as if it were a true story.

I think it was the initial shock and fear stayed with people.
I even remember this whole thing with people being ill in the cinema - this was due to how shaky the picture was due to being filmed on hand held cameras which was then being shown on a huge screen and made people motion sick - and that seemed to add to confused fear.
