I'm passing this thread from MMRCG along to MRCA. - Al

Ray,

It's *way up north 
<https://www.google.com/maps/place/High+Point/@41.3206441,-74.6965714,13z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c346f56cbf1a9f:0xcec2957da85ba80c!8m2!3d41.32065!4d-74.6615515!5m1!1e4>*, 
but literally the highest point in NJ.  I believe some of the New 
England guys will be camping there.
