Mordecai, in addition to Ben's points, how do new people discover the forest? How do they find their "favorite spots" to begin with? I didn't develop my full appreciation of the forest driving up and down Carranza, Hampton and Quaker Bridge Rd. I developed it by exploring: "hey, I wonder where...

I replied to Mr. Auermuller asking him about when he thought the public meetings would be and how the public will find out. I also shared the concerns discussed here about limited access and the fact that this is not where the damage is being done and is preventing access to folks who care...

I did hear back from the superintendent today. He mentioned the same thing about the maps and also said there would be a forum for public input. I'm at work so haven't responded yet, but my plan was to point out the obvious issue of the fact that they implemented before asking for public input...

I do agree that it is a little late in the game, but one of the things that concerned me is the lack of communication. How could we have worked out something we didn't know was coming? (I mean really knew was coming). I know Al a bit and I don't think this is even what he would want. After all...

Guy, do you have any further info on this meeting or do you know how to find out?

I sent an email to both the DEP and the PPA. The DEP asking to the reasoning and how they consulted the public and the PPA on their position on the matter. We'll see what response I get.

The more I think about it, the more angry I get. Can the forest make such a signifant change to the status quo without any public input? We find out the use of our state resource is fundamentally altered when we see the signs appear? Any ideas of what can be done? Would anyone be interested...

Yep, only those of us who follow the rules and respect the forest will be punished. What a sad, sad, day.

Same here, they haven't seemed as bad for me so far, however, I have noticed more in the last week. An uptick, if you will. ;) When I'm out exploring I wear permethrin treated clothes and Outdoor Reasearch "tick gaiters" (great pickup, by the way, really like them)

The sunset that night was pretty cool due to the smoke. Here is a shot I got in Tabernacle.

Thanks! I have a Phantom 2 Vision, with a Rotorpixel gimbal.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks! No, not my music. I downloaded it from a site where you can get music that is licensed to use for free in home movies: http://freemusicarchive.org

Hi all I had some time to get out to a few spots and get some new footage. Let me know what you think! Also let me know if you have ideas for other areas to shoot.

Hi all, I've been hearing a lot of this recently and I'm not sure what it is. Anyone know? Is it a bird or a frog? http://picosong.com/Xij8/

Wow Don, thanks for that insight. I had always wondered about that dam way out there and the gun club. I thought it must have been a lot of work to haul all that equipment and concrete out to a pretty remote spot to build that dam. So I guess the only question left is: Who is Mannis? or is...

Welcome to the forum! They are the "Letters in the Pines". Here is another thread explaining them: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/rye-strips-or-letters-in-the-pines.2191/ In short, they were part of a wildlife habitat improvement project from the 70's.

This was excellent, I'm glad it is getting attention. I must admit though, before I knew it was on a BMW site, I was kind of confused about his vehicle selection for exploring the pines. :-)

That's it, Joe! Yep, I should have been more clear, you can "technically" drive there, but it is in the "no fly zone". Mannis Duck pond is a neat little place. I saw it elsewhere on the forum, it was theorized to be created by, perhaps, the Lower Forge gun club. (There is an "LD" on the little...
