    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    I got caught in work yesterday and didn’t get home until very late. When I did, I did the same as just about everyone else. I started looking at all the maps. It didn’t take very long at all to realize that this map is almost a carbon copy of 2015. After briefly looking through all the maps and...

    Action News’ Chopper Six crashes in wooded area of New Jersey; pilot and photographer killed

    Two weeks ago when I was there it was not. While we were walking out 2 trucks came back and parked at the end. It’s actually a wide road and has an open space cleared where the probably staged equipment while they were working. It’s a short road and I doubt it would get abused since it’s high...

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    I had a hard time between these two also. The wording is a little confusing to me. Choice three says areas. I don’t feel any “road” should be closed even if it passes through an area of possible T&E spiecies. 1/4 mile is an area that should be closed but High Crossing Road should not be in my...

    Action News’ Chopper Six crashes in wooded area of New Jersey; pilot and photographer killed

    A couple of weeks ago we found ourselves on Quaker Bridge Road. We decided to go down Mullica River Road. We found a new road marked every 50 yards in both sides. We walked the road to its end. It ends at the crash site. About a 1/2 mile off the main road. We could smell the jet fuel before we...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    It wasn’t me that said the wind was howling. But it’s howling here. Sounds like it’s going to be a long night. My kids came home saying all the teachers told them that they weren’t going to have school tomorrow or at least a two hour delay.

    Where is this?

    I don’t know that tree but the background looks like the cranberry bogs on Dave’s Road.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I guess it could be worse. Sounds like next week Indiana is going to get hammered with the next storm mid week. We won’t get much though.

    Hiking along Central Jersey line

    I heard about it back in the summer. I assumed it was known about by the time we went. I also figured that the reason the road going back to it was opened up possibly to get equipment back there to put it out. I’m not exactly sure when it burnt.

    Hiking along Central Jersey line

    I was told last summer that someone burnt that trestle, although they told me that I was the Clark Branch. A couple months ago we made it out to confirm. The Clark branch is ok but we walked up on that as well. It’s definitely arson there was no forest fire there recently. Also it looks like...

    Tar Kiln Locations?

    If you go back and look at the other location, it also uses the topography to help. The barrel hole is on the lower side with the higher ground to the north. Also the one I explored seemed to have a trench on the outside of the berm leading up to the barrel hole.

    Tar Kiln Locations?

    I think I have another location to check out. It’s not far from the other one. https://boydsmaps.com/#17.32/39.771324/-74.811788/mbx3dmidatl/-11.16/0.00

    Action News’ Chopper Six crashes in wooded area of New Jersey; pilot and photographer killed

    Very sad. Even as wet as it is out there it still started a fire.

    We Got A 2023 Range Rover Stuck Off Road

    I was thinking Rockwood at first but after looking at it more I think that’s Batsto Fireline Road. In the background looks like the turn off for Locks Bridge. It seems like they were heading toward 206.

    Tar Kiln Locations?

    That’s actually a good description. From what I remember it was just a perfectly round mound. The interesting part is I found that one but with LiDAR there looks to be another a little farther south. I assumed then it had something to do with the cranberry operations there.

    Tar Kiln Locations?

    There is a few mounds not far from there. I stumbled along this one years ago. From what I remember it was just a perfectly round mound with no depression in the middle. There may have been a depression for a bucket hole next to it but I don’t remember since I wasn’t looking for one then. But it...

    Tar Kiln Locations?

    The bucket hole was deeper then the hole in the center. Both were filled with decomposing leaves and very soft to walk on. It’s in a very accessible location. It’s less then 100 yards from the paved road and the woods there is open with little underbrush.

    Tar Kiln Locations?

    Well, Cole and I decided to do a quick trip. We didn’t stay out that long since there were clubs driving nearby. It’s definitely man made and not laurel or trees. It’s nearly a complete circle built up with a hole in the center. There’s a break in the berm on the southern side which leads to...
