That Shell mound south of Tuckerton is supposedly 1500 years old. It's more shore than Pine Barrens, but close.

Before the clouds rolled in, Gloucester Township.

I was just at Franklin Parker Preserve, on the bike-permitted green trails. I didn't know the Batona crossed into the Preserve. It's where I ride when Black Run Preserve and Batsto get too crowded.

I'll take that under consideration! thanks

I wish the Batona allowed bikes.

I signed and wrote my representatives, one of whom had their office CALL me. They are hearing us loud and clear.

What a joke. ORVs can escape down a hiking or mountain biking single track that a Tahoe can't follow. You can put up pylons but they'll be able to go off-road and avoid them. You are not enforcing anything against them, you are only stopping responsible riders and drivers. Which is your plan...

This is why I stopped supporting the Pinelands Preservation Alliance and Pinelands Adventures. I'm not gonna pay to remove my own rights.

It's like a lot of politics, they don't have public support so they hide what they are trying to do and sow outrage about "redneck off roaders destroying critical habitat" instead of "closing over half the roads to legal responsible use"

So they don't update a park map in 60 years but we're supposed to think it's accurate?

I haven't been there at all this winter. I need to head over.

Only in New Jersey would they "hire" you as a full-time docent and groundskeeper for a reduction on rent in an room attached to two public toilets in the middle of the woods...

E-bikes are motor vehicles, but the riders act like they aren't. There are multiple classes and some don't go over ~20mph so are more equivalent to a regular bicycle; others have more power and are more akin to a moped. E-bike riders ignore the "No e-bikes, no pedal assist" signs at Black Run...

This 100%.

It's the only solution that makes sense, if you do not believe in the paranormal. Which I don't.
