    Fuck my life.

    RAIN?

    That's a good thing to do while you're in LBI.

    You might be able to find something in here: https://www.njpinebarrens.com/historic-maps/ To zoom all the way in on some of the maps you might need to save the map image locally and view it.

    Big Forum Update

    Okay, this should be fixed. Thanks for the troubleshooting. The image proxying thing is to not have people's browsers throw off scary errors when someone links to pictures that are served from a http website.

    The site works really nicely on mobile devices now.

    Big Forum Update

    Hey everyone, I've just upgraded the software that runs the discussion forums to the latest version. It was probably about 5 years out of date, so it was critical to do. There are just a ton of changes and differences in the new software. I'm still learning it myself. Right now I'm working to...

    Buzby's is up for sale.....

    That's more in line with reality. Marilyn put way more money into the place than what she ought to have. The upside is that whoever buys it will be getting a hell of a deal. Geothermal heating and cooling!

    Stump grinding

    I'm in Eatontown (Monmouth County) now. I think hiring it out will make the most sense. Even if I wanted to rent one, I have no way of getting it home. Thanks for all the advice!

    Stump grinding

    People on Youtube were recommending a hammer drill, long bit, and kerosene. Three things that I don't own right now. Buying all of that (and tbh I want to buy a hammer drill anyway) would probably go a long way towards having Joe Stump Grinder come out and get rid of the stump.

    Stump grinding

    I have an old tree stump that I need to take out of my yard. I've looked at a ton of youtube videos of people using epson salt, some other things that are supposed to rot the stump out, and burning. None of them look particularly great. The burning one looks fun but I doubt my neighbors will...

    Guess Who ?

    I'm right with you. There IS a problem with people taking ORVs and destroying wetlands, crashing through streams, digging ruts, etc. It would be immensely helpful to have a map (lower case) of the pines showing where and where you can't drive. Not only just for that but navigating in general...

    Guess Who ?

    Despite being asked to ratchet down the rhetoric several times, I've finally had to remove Al from the website. There is a large body of evidence that shows that the things that Al wants and the things that most all of us want are not far off. But his haughty tone, his acidic delivery...

    Guess Who ?

    You are ridiculous. And don't accuse me of being anti-science. You know nothing about me. Jemima Mount is worse? Quarter Mile is worse? You're a loudmouth fear mongering bully. Go away.

    Guess Who ?

    And what about people who have limited mobility? Or those who would end up carrying 50+ pounds of camera equipment? What about places that horses can't go? And how are you going to ride a bike in deep sugar sand? Who are you to decide what is a "bad thing" or not? Your hyperbole is ridiculous...

    Guess Who ?

    Wasn't it something like people needing to get a special permit from Rob? Considering that he's canceling events that he doesn't like who's to say that he'll just capriciously deny permit applications? It's a reasonable fear considering how much secrecy surrounded this thing. Even if there was...

    Guess Who ?

    Plenty of emails in the OPRA request that I made for Rob's email say otherwise. One of my favorites was Jacklyn's email to Rob saying that people from this website would be mad at first but we'd all forget about it in time.

    Guess Who ?

    Maybe if you acted a little less haughty you wouldn't be in a position to have to defend yourself so much. It seems lost on you that you and I (and many other people here) are on the same page. I just disagree with the methods you and the PPA are using to advance this agenda. Chances are that...

    Guess Who ?

    Why are you making the assumption that I haven't tried to get something like that done? Nobody knew about the MAP before it was released. Those meetings were between the PPA and the DEP. Hardly inclusive. The hunters would have been negatively impacted by the MAP - that's why they fought...

    Guess Who ?

    You have never come out and said that you want to own the forest, but your actions say otherwise. I agree that ORVs have caused damage. In theory, I am in favor of a map (lower case) that shows where you can and can not drive, but only if it's drawn up in a manner far more transparent than the...

    Guess Who ?

    By the way you speak to people. Maybe you just don't realize how you come across, but you act like a bully. Edit: And I am not the only person who feels that way.
