The north walkway has three flights of stairs on the NJ side. Cycling up the river to Mt Holly, we will bye evening food provisions there. Breaking camp after a simple camp breakfast, cycle through Tabernacle. A late second breakfast but can gotten a little ways from there. Monday night is spent at Lake Atsion Family Campground. We mike order pizza to be delivered to our campsite. Tuesday ride home, takes us home through Marleton, NJ and then to the Tacony Palmyra Bridge, walking our loaded bikes into Philly.
