    Moon today?

    I was admiring it tonight also. While sitting out watching baseball practice. It was hard to see with the lights but there looked like a planet just to the left of it too.

    Controlled burns 2024

    The next few days I suspect the FFS is going to be pretty active. They are slated to be in Black Run Preserve in Evesham today.

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    Many of the impassable roads in Wharton are that way because of lack of maintenance not abuse.

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    You’re trying to confuse everything with the word enforceable. All the current roads in Wharton are enforceable. You can argue that they are not because the Park Police aren’t properly equipped. That would be like the local police department being equipped with mopeds only for traffic control...

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    Call “ enforceable routes” what it is. Road closures. The idea that you need to have widespread closures to be able to enforce the laws is borderline moronic. The roads are still there. You actually give the illegal ORV’s a safe haven because law abiding users that could report them won’t be...

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    I think we can all agree who it shouldn’t be.

    Where is this?

    It is in Wharton. Not on Jackson Road but not too far away. The picture was taken while sitting in the Jeep.

    Where is this?

    Ok, if this one is too hard I’ll give some clues later but, this tree is just off a highly traveled road and I think someone will get it. I’ve driven past it hundreds, if not thousands of times, and more times then not it catches my eye.

    Let’s not forget that he gets paid to troll us. He gets paid block out anyone with a different opinion from his employer’s social media page. He gets paid to make propaganda videos and deceitful posts to sway public opinion. He gets paid to try and disrupt any opposition to his or his employers...

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    He has no plan on discussing different views. He is on a smear campaign trying to discredit the topos. The ironic thing is he blocks anyone with different opinions then his own calling them trolls. Yet that’s all he does here is troll.

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    Sounds like that the current map is obsolete as well by your description.

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    I’m not sure of your point. The 1966 map is a suggested route map which is fine. It involves no closures of roads that existed on the topos of the time. The 2024 version does.

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    I thought of that as well. Exactly why it’s on my list to explore I have a lot of questions. I’m thinking that the road would be raised at least a little if they were using it for fill. Maybe the the go around was to get by while they loaded wagons.

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    When you went by did you actually go through it? Also I figured it was low for that type of rock, that’s why I was thinking possibly clay. What do you think was mined from there? Maybe we can meet up and check it out. The last two weekends we got out quite a bit.

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    Very cool Bob. That area kind of reminds me of another location that I’ve been meaning to check out. Here: https://boydsmaps.com/#17.64/39.707733/-74.615770/mbx3dmidatl/-2.62/0.00 I’ve often wondered what was being mined out of here. The road leading to it could still be seen on the 1930’s...

    An interesting prospect with likely pitfalls

    I’m sure it was open. 10 years ago. My best would be it closed around 2017 give or take a year. I come home that way and would drive by. I used to see the sign for Bangers and Mash. With my wife’s family being English we have them quite a bit and I always thought of trying them. They always...
