Are you attempting to say birdshit? LOL

Thanks for the clarification. I was a bit confused knowing what a sweet gum is. I have one of those and quite large in the front yard complete with literally thousands of those brown spiked seed pods my feet always twist on. Nice tree but dirty and dirty until the spring when the new pods start...

Always enjoy reading about your PBX's. Usually learn something new such as black gum, always thought it was just another big "pine tree"

Normally I wouldn't give this a second thought, but considering the PPA's apparent ultimate goal to deny the general public free access to the Pines unless you pay them for the privilege of a guided tour or a rental of their canoe/kayak.. I'm looking closer on how they spread their propaganda...

I agree. The ocean giveth and taketh away. Ship wrecks are covered and then after a storm are uncovered to once again be covered. However with rising sea level ultimately the ocean taketh away. Good example is the continual and costly waste of taxpayer money dredging sand onto the beaches then...

I believe every one of us prefers to buy American made. Unfortunately our high standard of living comes at a cost. Most American wages follow suit just to be considered middle class. Following suit the American companies would buy American made or processed materials which again are affected by...

Yes, would be interesting. Among the "official" uses I didn't see "advertising to promote one's personal agenda". For those that have read and understood the book "Animal Farm" , all are equal but there are those that are more equal. It has been clearly demonstrated in the past the PPA certainly...

The use of drones in State forests, F&G and DEP land is against the law, apparently the PPA is above the law and publically flaunts the law promoting it's single minded spam...

Yep, back up, used this morning.

I wonder if the tracks were originally laid that close to the surf or is just representative of eroding beaches?

What's up? I now get a blank page with a heading of "Fantasy Adventure" that appears you have to join [pay?] and log in. While I mostly use the NJPB maps I do like the '08 map after the Warren Grove fire and the '63 map. I'm not going on some fantasy ride and pay so I assume that's another...

Absolutely agree!!

I guess they were sleeping or on vacation seeing the breach in the dam.

I guess it depends on the area and what your looking for. I look for old roads and trails. I also like the old black & white. After a fire is great for me. In particular I like '63, '95, '07, '08. Any chance of incorporating '08 into the NJPB map data base? I'm disliking Historic aerials and...

On the newer square concrete markers, do the surveyors still blaze trees? I never looked but now you have me wondering.

On those tree slash marks. The hunters among us can elaborate. I constantly run across slash marks. Usually they are enhanced with blue paint although I have seen old markings with white and/or yellow. Now it appears blue is the accepted color for deer drive lines. 3 slash marks indicate the...

Yes, given a chance folks will take advantage and abuse everything. Your local Home Depot is a good example. I've been burned more than once on returned crap that was repackaged to look new while the contents were abused. I'm not blaming the local store, I think it is the "returning" folks doing...

Absolutely! The argument is going to be beach maintenance [grooming] , life guards, access repairs [?] , restrooms and whatever. However I'm sure far more money is taken in than is spent, wonder where that "extra" money goes? Parking may be a legitimate gripe with land values being what they are...

Great. I suppose new signage will be posted: "This land was purchased and policed with your money, for your enjoyment, now stay the hell out"

True. Forest fires are responsible for the creation of the Pines and depend on it. I guess the next best are the controlled burns but that only thins the ground cover not the canopies. Mentioned further down in this thread the white pines are not native and were planted to be harvested as a...
