where in nj are you gonna be staying? i live in south jersey too(about 15 minuits from the del mem bridgs) and head up to bear creek 2-7 times a week, so if your down for it we could carpool or whatnot. that being said, 5 days or so on the hill pays for an offpeak pass, which is what i would reccomend. wouldnt mind showing you around the pocono high peaks either haha
