Skip the Black Friday chaos on Nov. 29 and instead “OptOutside” with a free, calorie-burning,4- to 6-mile hike in Bass River State Forest “North,” which encompasses the West Pine Plains Natural Area and the “Pygmy Pines” – the world’s largest acreage of this globally rare forest community. This volunteer-led hike will depart promptly at 1 p.m. and will end at approximately 4:30 p.m. The hike will meander along sand roads and trails near the N.J.
