    More Changes at Forked River Mountain

    Yes the road from the materials to the railroad and the railbed behind the materials has been graded but not widened. The road over Frazees bridge was widened. There are now multiple firecuts that go from Lacey rd to the railroad. They used all the trails from materials going towards the...

    More Changes at Forked River Mountain

    Took the wife and kids for a ride to the mountain on Saturday. We came in from the direction of 539 via Bryant Rd. Once I got to the base of the mountain before you turn right and go up I noticed the road toward the railroad had been cut and widened on both sides. I did not follow it so I dont...

    Beck's Travels

    If you walked to Waretown junction on the Rail Trail, the only thing there now is a sign. There is not any physical items to see along the whole trail except the coal dump in Barengat and the old trestles. However the signs along the trail have some good info and pictures of each area.

These were not the...

    Forked River Mountain

    Was walking around FRM yesterday to celebrate earth day. At the top are a bunch of concrete barriers piled up. Not sure if these will be used to block the roads around the mountains or to shore up the north side which is washing away pretty badly.

    Thanks for the info. I will put the number in my phone. Believe me, I wanted to drive right up to them and say something and take pics of the plates, but I was by myself with 2 Labs. You never know what your up against out there. People have a tendency to over react. My labs maybe could of...

    Was out walking with my 2 dogs at Old Halfway on Sunday. No one was around beside and a man and young girl sitting on the tailgate of a pick-up throwing stones in the water. They were on the main beach along the road on the south east side. I was circumnavigating the lake. When a 4 door jeep...

    Lacey Materials Burned

    The main entrance on Lacey Road is not open. They have graded the road from the front entrance all the way to the railroad. You could connect to 532 or Jones road through Mountain to Bryant road but for the longest time there was a huge mud pit in the way unless you had 50" tires. There is now a...

    Lacey Materials Burned

    Was out exploring the materials again today, They graded the road from the materials to the railroad and the railroad bed from that intersection to mountain road. They are now like super highways. They also widened the road to Frazees Bridge. With the old trail you would be just about rubbing...

    I think it was called a Sony Mavica, it would save the pictures on a 3" mini disc inside the camera.

    Lacey Materials Burned

    Walked in the Lacey Materials today after the controlled burn over a week ago. They burned as far as I could see from Lacey Road to the back of the cleared areas and into the woods beyond that. They even burned each individual pine island regardless of size. They widened and graded some roads...

    Parks, Forests, WMAs open only for passive recreation

    The Franklin Parker Preserve entrance by Chatsworth Lake was insane yesterday. Parking lot was full, cars on both sides of the street. Took the dog up to Apple High Hill. Nobody was there. She sniffed near the locked gate and made the siren go off!

    Parks, Forests, WMAs open only for passive recreation

    I have been taking my kids out everyday to walk in the woods out in Greenwood WMA. They are going stir crazy doing computer based classwork all day long. I figured there would be less people walking around out there. Honestly I have not seen much activity in the woods. Perhaps people are just...
