    Where is the OLDEST habited area of the Pinelands?

    I think it depends on what you mean by habited...the Lenni-Lenape go back a long way :)

    Atsion Mansion January Evening Tours

    A very belated thanks for the night tour, Nick. It was a really enjoyable experience, and I got a couple of neat photos out of it that you might like as well.

    Zeb's Bridge

    I couldn't find a whole lot either. On the CRRNJ map in the back of The Trail of the Blue Comet, the only station shown between Lakehurst/Manchester and Tom's River is labeled "Pine View," so maybe that is a later name for either the Appollonio/Appollonia (?) or Germania stations?

    Spring/Summer Flora

    These are from almost exactly a year ago. I realized I never posted them here. I would very much like to return to the same spot this year and see how they are doing, if I can find the time.

    Spring/Summer Flora

    Maybe we should have a general thread for spring plant finds? Found a very vigorous and pretty patch of these two classics on Sunday.

    Obituary

    I am sorry to hear that as well. I have his book on Brotherton. I just recently took a picture of the mentioned sign, when I was over there checking out the old Indian Mills Pizza building.

    4.8 earthquake. I felt it.

    Very strange indeed. I had flashbacks to 2011. Felt similar, although not as strong as back then.

    Hiking Trails, Wheelchairs, Bicycles and the ADA

    There is already a PPA project to encourage more accessible trails for people with disabilities. They have also catalogued the ones that exist today on a map. A lot of these trails are ADA compliant, but ADA compliant does not necessarily mean you can ride a bicycle there. The map tells you...

    Environmentalists Enraged by 'Unauthorized' Dumping of Truckloads of Soil from North Jersey on Property in Pemberton Twp. Wetlands - and Delay in Halt

    A good example of an issue where I am fully in agreement with Emile and Jason. Every aspect of this situation sounds shady, and for DEP to just completely abdicate responsibility for actual soil testing and hand wave away any concerns really is ridiculous. Who normally pays for testing as part...

    Odd Rumbling Sounds

    I am up in Central Jersey today, but I have felt and heard a similar thing before. I posted a thread about it last year: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/sonic-booms.14326/ Also worth mentioning that the joint base lists high noise levels for today. Could possibly be related...

    Powder in the Pines

    Thanks, Bob. That morning will probably be my favorite of the year.

    Powder in the Pines

    With the weather warming once again, a look back on my favorite season to be in the woods.

    Ticks & Chiggers--a study

    Well, not before it's finished clinical trials, no. If it's fully approved and proven to be effective and well tolerated, possibly.

    Post Your Old Car Finds Here

    Not deep into the woods at all but here is one I found behind Lake Pine in Medford in April 2006. Really not much left. There used to be a geocache right next to it, which is what brought me here.

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    I really do think all of Wharton is important, though, and I think others did as well. "Pollute" was maybe not the right word to use, because submissions for the whole area were valid. More like skew the data to make a point. When the survey did come out, I ended up not using the mapping tool...

    Fries Mill

    I'm sure they must exist somewhere. A good place to ask would probably be in this Camp Hollybrook Facebook group. I can't ask myself as I do not have an account.

    Change is coming to Washington Crossing

    Ah yes, crossing over this bridge is quite the experience. Always have to fold the mirrors in ahead of time coming up 29, and even then, it is a crazy tight squeeze. A friend of mine scratched the side of their car up on this span just a couple weeks after buying it. I am up near Washington...

    Fries Mill

    If anyone wants to see how it used to look, it's at around 4:40 in this video, which is what got me interested in going there in the first place: This also has footage of the adjacent NJ Silica Sand company ruins. I really enjoy Tom Lynskey's work; he has so many great videos on many...
