I want to get Dana a CRV as her first car and now I'm a little nervous...

If you want to whip up something for the front page of this site (www.njpinebarrens.com) I'm happy to publish it. The last thing I wrote was in 2017!

Damn, those are incredible shots.

Today it dawned on me that I raged really hard against the state wanting to close roads in Wharton and now we have people with trucks digging giant ruts making it impossible if not super hard for regular people to go and enjoy the woods.

The one that springs to mind would rather put gates up everywhere if they had their way.

Ah, well it's not like I'd get very far with my car. A 4 mile walk doesn't sound bad at all.

I wonder if this will make the Swamp Monster accessible again? I really want to get down to Wharton this weekend and see if I can get some photos.

Personally I avoid stores that don't have self checkout now. I can breeze in and out a lot quicker than waiting in line for one of the two or three registers (out of 10+ actually in the store) that are open. I keep bags in the trunk of my car so it's a non issue for me, too. Exxon and Shell...

Looking at the 1890 topo leads me to believe that the "source" is actually just rainwater coming down from all of the hills in the area and then joining together to make a stream. https://boydsmaps.com/#14.00/40.215602/-74.302232/njginHist/0.00/0.00 It's so interesting to see the topography in...

I wonder if it starts from a spring? Too bad it's private property.

A few bends up it goes under the Garden State Parkway. https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=40.138874830095105&lng=-74.11446249376601&z=18&type=hybrid&gpx= I'd love to find the source. It starts somewhere in Freehold.

Thanks!

Well, it's not the Pine Barrens but I discovered this little slice of heaven only about 15 minutes from my house yesterday. I just got a new wide angle lens for my camera and wanted to give it a try and I caught this after the clouds started to change color and the trees caught a bit of side...
