Having led many types of hikes and trips over the past fifteen years, Steinberg leaves no part of the trip unplanned. He even suggests ideal conditions for outings. An overcast day, for instance, sets up the haunted atmosphere appropriate for visiting a water tower in Mountainside, New Jersey, that has links to a murder-suicide in the 1970s. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNewcomers will gain experience as they make their way through the book, which includes a chapter on equipment and safety, detailed instructions on how to program a hand-held Global Positioning System receiver, and a glossary of terms. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBoth a practical guide and a creative chronicle, \u003ci\u003eHiking the Road to Ruins\u003c\/i\u003e will inspire everyone to hit the trail in search of adventure.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Prologue\u003cp\u003ePreparation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeading and Not Leading Hikes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing GPS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.                  The Army Tunnels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.                  Beacon Mountain Casino\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.                  The Boston Harbor Islands\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.                  The C \u0026amp; O Canal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.                  Camp Hero\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.                  The Cornish Estate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.                  Cranberry Lake Preserve\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8.                  Dennytown Mines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9.                  Doodletown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10.              Dunderburg Spiral Railway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11.              Great Camp Santanoni\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12.              Harriman Ruins in Winter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13.              Island Pond Ranger Cabin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14.              Mines!
