NJ 78 ditch
On 11/9/2006 TallPeter wrote in from United States  (68.44.nnn.nnn)

Has anyone been to the 78 ditch in Basking Ridge lately? I just had a dream about it. Got to get back and see how it is-- last time I was there was over 10 years ago. They built houses near it (of course!) and we were scared away. I figure if we walk in along the highway, we can avoid the houses.

NJ Ditches

When I was in high school we skated a ditch along the south side of rte 78 near Basking Ridge. This was before rte 78 was completed and all I remember is that it was kinda narrow, but it worked for 27" Logan Earth Skis. It was fun because it went along a slight downhill grade. Other than that you're better off heading west to PA - Allentown & Reading.

Nicoles' got nothing but love for ABQ and she always has. She is also one of my favorite people to skate with. One thing I love about skating is that it pushes all the bulls#@! away. What is meant to last will last and what won't won't. The ditches aren't going anywhere and even if this little bit of media coverage did make it harder to skate them, would that keep us from finding a way like we always have? No. Love Ivy Anna
