Hike for NJ Professionals: Sourland Mountain Preserve May 29, 2010

http://www.njprofessionals.org/events/hike-sourland-mountain

Located on the edge of suburbia, the Sourland Mountain Preserve is a great way to enjoy connecting with the outdoors without having to travel long distances. We will enjoy a 5 mile hike through pristine woods and rocky hillsides. We'll also pass by the Roaring Brook area which was recently opened up to public use thanks to the 3M corporation. We will optionally go out to eat/socialize after the hike.
