Would anyone like to carpool to Batsto next Sunday?  I live in Exeter outside of Reading, PA (a mile from 422).  I'd be traveling 422 E to 76, so could drop a car anywhere between home and King of Prussia to help split travel costs.

Hi All, I am in the same Boat, need an Early Car pool option (from Northern NJ) to Basto park for a bit of Cross O County Skiing on Dan's and Zak's DVOA TOPO courses, that is, I hope they are Ski"O"ble given the recent multiple storms (Snow report Dan please).  aLSO, IF THE SNOW Snakes, are there any Snow snake reports, I hear they get very active tripping us humans when forest  or ski resorts have abundant snow... cover

Hi Bob,

I sure hope to see you at Batsto.  We could use someone to help with a little bit of training starting at about 11:00.  Zac and I were at Batsto Saturday.  The terrain has only splotches of snow with probably only about 50% ground cover(<1" deep).  I expect the snow cover to be gone by next Sunday.

I would like discuss Quaill Hill if you still need help.

But Dan,   Hey, you ignored my Basto
"Snow Snake" report  request, are the little white snakes abundant and frisky this year in south NJ?  They are said that they trip up runners and cross country skiers alike.  Hopefully the snow melts  in the meanwhile and they get timid against the forest brown leaves (and dirt).  Bob 

Dan I will be there if a car pool option (early arrival) arrives soon,  I can drive or Share the gas or even meet someone in a parkway rest stop in Clifton or the commuter car/bus lot in Holmdel NJ or meet up in toms river area

Quail Hill PLans [June 8] are all Up! in the frozen Winter - Air, First I seek a Interested DVOA Course setter (newbies welcome) or someone 2 help me set them/flags  out if I dual ED and CS (not my desire but do What needs to be CS done)  we can talk at Basto

No snow snakes.  But watch out for the sand snakes.
