    PB National Park?

    I forgot that I had used MoveOn.org for the MAP petition, not Change.org. My comment about being a liberal and partisan politics sucking still stands. :)

    PB National Park?

    Stupid idea, for the reason that SuperCooch said. There will be even less resources and money available to protect the Pines if this somehow went through. "This step will create additional protections and funding so everyone will be able to enjoy the pine barrens in ways we previously could not...

    Dangerous booby-traps found along a popular North Jersey trail

    Fits in with what's happening in the Pines recently. http://www.nj.com/passaic-county/index.ssf/2016/08/dangerous_booby-traps_found_along_popular_north_jersey_trail.html#incart_2box_nj-homepage-featured

    Wharton Super

    Well, besides the hayrides.

    Wharton Super

    It's good if you like a scenic park with apple orchards. Monmouth Battlefield is one of my favorite places to go photograph.

    Episode 38: The Wisdom of John McPhee

    Thanks, I'll have to check that out. Now that I have a hour to kill on the ferry commute to and from work I've been tearing through books on my Kindle.

    Wharton Super

    So if Inga Gabliks is acting super at Monmouth Battlefield and Dave Robbins is acting super at Wharton, where'd Rob go?

    Episode 38: The Wisdom of John McPhee

    Anybody have any suggestions for another McPhee book? I read Uncommon Carriers and it was good but not, in my opinion, as good as The Pine Barrens.

    Wharton Super

    So I heard a rumor that Rob Auermuller isn't at Batsto anymore? Anybody hear anything?

    ORV Management In Sensitive Areas Of Wharton

    Are you saying the one on NJPB Maps that I just posted isn't accurate?

    ORV Management In Sensitive Areas Of Wharton

    Pretty sure this is the 1997 map. http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.648972599081375&lng=-74.64581377777097&z=14&type=topo&gpx=

    4x4 Accessible/Legal/Appropriate Excursions

    If you're in doubt about a puddle it may make sense to throw a pair of knee waders on and wander into the puddle to test how deep it is. Beats getting stuck or potentially damaging something. As far as legal roads go, pretty much anything that shows up on a 1997 USGS topo map (like the ones at...

    PPA beating the drum again

    Eh, I'm all for the police following up with people if someone feels like they've been harassed online. Obviously you weren't going to be a problem but the police officer had no way of knowing that, and I'd rather them be safe than sorry. </derail>

    Nash's Cabin

    I'll vouch for this book. I purchased it off Amazon just for the Nash's Cabin article. I never though I'd see the history of the cabin so expertly detailed.

    I disabled the email and web shield stuff. I just have it scanning files as they're opened/written to.

    New Macintosh Virus/Malware

    Everyone should have anti-virus software on their Mac. Gone are the days that "Macs don't have viruses" was true. This is what I use: https://www.avast.com/en-us/free-mac-security

    Let's hope it's enough to make a difference.

    Those Brits are smart folks

    The world was a much smaller place 240 years ago. You can't compare the two. While the EU isn't perfect more effective change could have happened from within, slowly, without destabilizing the world economy, and emboldening Putin who undoubtedly is rubbing his hands with glee. This was mostly...

    Those Brits are smart folks

    Funny how many people are coming out of the woodwork saying that they regret their "leave" vote and that they made it only as a protest. Well, you get what you deserve. "Make Britain Great Again" Yup, Britain now will consist of England and Wales since Scotland and Northern Ireland are for...
