    Fix Our Parks

    In all my years of traveling in the pines I have never seen a dead or injured animal on a sand road. Not to say it doesn’t happen but it seems rare to me even on highly traveled roads.

    ATVs continue wild illegal joyrides through the NJ Pine Barrens

    The second line in the article states: An increasing number of all-terrain vehicles, ATVs, continue to illegally roar through forests, wetlands and other environmentally sensitive areas, doing all sorts of serious damage and disturbing the peace. ATVs are already illegal on all state land...

    ATVs continue wild illegal joyrides through the NJ Pine Barrens

    Who owns the roads? If a local municipality can give someone permission to close off and police a road however that see fit located within Wharton then it’s not the DEP that does. How can the DEP charge a fee for roads that they don’t own 100%?

    West Mill Road And Burn Area

    I fought off the temptation of driving all the way to the gate for a pic of my jeep on the other side of it lol

    Crews Battling Wildfire Along Mullica River in South Jersey’s Wharton State Forest

    Rockwood road is maintained a ways back. Shortly after the last few houses it gets very soft. There are also a lot of roots since it was just cleared. You should be able to make it a ways back but once you hit the soft area it’s like that the rest of the way. A stock vehicle with 4wd shouldn’t...

    Crews Battling Wildfire Along Mullica River in South Jersey’s Wharton State Forest

    Ok. I drove all the way to the bridge behind the church. I tried West Mill but the gate is back up. Next I went down Rockwood road. It looks like during the fire the FFS improved the road filling in all the holes. In my Jeep I really didn’t need 4wd. Its a lot of soft sand and no water, for...

    Crews Battling Wildfire Along Mullica River in South Jersey’s Wharton State Forest

    Last week I drove in around the cones since there was no sign saying it was closed. Once in there was signs blocking off the hiking trails only. I took it all the way to Constable Bridge.

    Crews Battling Wildfire Along Mullica River in South Jersey’s Wharton State Forest

    I had it beginning of May. I was down 2 days and back to work in 5. Tiredness and headache lingered. A week later I lost half the vision in one eye with the optic nerve being swollen. Still hasn’t come back.

    I believe all roads are open. Just hiking trails and rivers are closed

    Yes, it would have been backfired ahead of the main fire and where the two meet they draw each other together and burn very hot.

    Crews Battling Wildfire Along Mullica River in South Jersey’s Wharton State Forest

    I want to start off by saying I was’t there but I can kind of guess how the fire progressed. With the ignition point on the Mullica in the vicinity of Locks bridge and I believe the wind was north west the fire would have progressed to the south and east widening as it went. Once it crossed the...

    I found this on FB. I thought it might have crossed the Mullica. Note the containment size

    Crews Battling Wildfire Along Mullica River in South Jersey’s Wharton State Forest

    When I first saw it last night I thought it was right along the Mullica. It must have started closer to 206 and got wider as it went down. Once it crosses he sleeper there’s no line of defense except West Mills and that only has one way in and out. They are likely writing off large tracks to...
