    A book about the history of Monmouth and Ocean Counties

    It's a good book. It's been reprinted twice: once in 1966 and one in 1980. I believe it was the Monmouth County Historical Society that published them.

    Jeep confirms return of legendary SUV

    Here's my first Pine Barrens exploring truck - a 1986 Grand Wagoneer. I owned it sometime in 1998. Sorry for the dusty scan. I killed it by driving through a large puddle on either Hawkin's Bridge or Godfrey's Bridge road. The air intake was a hose that ran right from the carb to the front...

    Washington Tpke 745 acre thinning bid

    I'd love to see what the bids looked like for this work. I wonder if allowing the tree company to log the land was done in lieu of payment.

    [PPA] Park Police Need Tools to Combat ORV Abuse

    Which is what I was implying. Byrne saved the Pinelands for us and he is owed a debt of gratitude.

    [PPA] Park Police Need Tools to Combat ORV Abuse

    There's just no reasoning with those people. They've turned off so many people with their message yet now they want to raise $4 million for their "Brendan T. Byrne" fund. If I was Brendan Byrne I wouldn't want them invoking my name alongside their agenda. Interestingly they want to funnel $1M...

    [PPA] Park Police Need Tools to Combat ORV Abuse

    http://www.pinelandsalliance.org/blog/2016/12/park-police-need-tools-to-combat-orv-abuse/ Another blog article on the PPA site and, presumably, emailed to supporters. I saw it on Facebook where I commented twice last night - both were non incendiary, respectful posts. One was about how the...

    Lenape in Monmouth County

    I know it might be a bit of an oddball question to ask on a Pine Barrens forum such as this, but does anybody have any suggestions as to where I could find some information about what the Lenape were doing in Monmouth County, and preferably Monmouth County, in the 17th and 19th centuries? I...

    Tour Wharton ORV Destruction

    This gave me a chuckle considering the back and forth that happened over the MAP last summer. Had this seemingly reasonable position been taken by the PPA, I bet there would have been a lot less pushback.
