I'd run the other as myself because it's mostly on dirt roads, unpaved sugar sands, like Jeep roads out in Wharton State Forest.

Matthew RadfordHOST
Oh, depending on the precipitation recently, all that kind of stuff.

The most recent one comes from Marcus, who wrote in about a September weekend in 2012 in Wharton State Forest at one of the primitive campsites along the Mullica.
BrianHOST
Marcus was 29 that fall, and he'd been camping the barren since he was a Boy Scout, and he had a friend named Deshaun along who had never slept outdoors in his life.
BrianHOST
That detail matters to how the night went, because everything that happened, Marcus had to decide in real time whether to explain or downplay, with the first timer sitting across the fire watching his face.

Mike MorfordHOST
He took Josefina with him and forced her to help dispose of Deborah's body.
