All, Well, I'm off to Paradise Lake. Looks like the weather is going to be great. If anyone makes it out, I'm the guy with the big red 1985 4Runner w/Pinelands plates. I have a purple and grey Mountain Hardwear tent (green rain fly). Peace, Justin

If you have one near you, REI. Worked there over last summer. They had plenty of it. There's one in Marlton, NJ that I worked at. Peace, Justin

Morning, Just figured I'd pass this along to everyone. This weekend, starting on Friday, May 11, is the Spring Camp Jam in the Pines @ Paradise Lake campground. Most of the artists are bluegrass, folk with a few blues, rock and soul acts, so it's pretty diverse. Tony Trishka and his bluegrass...

Saturday Weather Looking Excellent! Figured this would entice people even more to attend. Might make a camping night out of this one. Saturday: 73 and Sunny Saturday Night: 47 and clear Doesn't get much better than that for the first REAL weekend of spring for a star watch! Justin

Funny you should say that. I live between 4th and 5th and Fairmount, so I'm about 1 block from Ortlieb's and 3 blocks from Standard Tap (I was there last night actually). I'm glad to see this thread got some response. Let's see where it goes from here. Justin

Hey all, I wanted to suggest something, as last weekend I went out to Quaker Bridge by myself to just get away from the city life (I now live in Philadelphia, Northern Liberties to be exact). There was a bunch of trash scattered about so I cleaned up most of it by the bridge. There are...

Mozilla Firefox All, I just have one word: Firefox (it's W3C and CSS2 compliant) http://www.firefox.org/ Being a web developer, I know that IE has never been W3C Standards compliant or compliant with the DOM and CSS outlined by the W3C as well. Because they are the most popular...

Honestly, what a waste of a perfectly good domain name. I being a web designer/developer, noticed one thing that stood out: At the top of the page, "Stock Images" is about twice as large as 'ThePineBarrens.com.' Seems like someone should've bought 'pinebarrensstockimages.com'. How about...

Chirs, I'd be up for it but I'm pretty much restricted to weekends only. I'm especially excited to try and get an overnight snow camping/backpacking trip this winter so let's pray for snow! Justin

Just curious as to what goes on here. I've seen general descriptions like crafts, music, etc. but as for most Pine Barrens events websites sans this one, details are usually very sparse (case in point, Pine Barrens Jamborree's lack of a music/artist schedule for the day). I'd like to know who...

All, I'm definitly going to be there. This should be a great time as bluegrass has become my favorite type of music over the past 1 - 2 years. Looks like it's going to be a cold weekend. Plus, I finally got my truck fixed up so I'll be able to go check out a new area of the Pine Barrens...

I don't think they have the time to do that when they are too busy stealthily staking out popular campsites like Hawkins Bridge to catch people doing things illegal while camping. Such a shame really. There are a few spots I visit on a regular basis and just bring trashbags because I know it...

This is a great 'vacation' trail if you take the recommended two days by staying over at the Mullica River Wilderness campsite. It's my favorite hike and legal campsite in the pines. We've done it at least 2 or 3 times over the past few years. Actually, just last weekend I did a round trip...

All, Think tonight isn't going to work with the weather we've been having. I will update those who have contacted me via PM as to the next try for this, probably next Sunday (4/30). On the plus side, maybe all this rain will kill this month+ long fire ban we've had at the public campsites...

Banjo, Sorry to hear about that. Two of my friends narrowly escaped death when someone was playing "close your eyes and run the stop sign at 70 mph with your headlights off" at a 4 way stop a few weeks ago. Luckily, it was a newer car. Idiots. Peace, J.

All, Don't know if this has been posted, but I was just perusing the NJ State Forestry website as I do time to time to see if they have updated anything useful. Noticed this change in the title of 'Park Rangers'. I'm not sure if this is an exact change but I've never seen this logo before...

Guy, What would be the reason, just curious? If we have a campfire, I'll get a permit from Atsion. Otherwise, it's just a few people hanging out and enjoying the woods. I don't see more than a group of 10 to 15 people being present (and that's a high estimate). If it gets bigger, then hey...

All, This is something that my friends and I have been pondering for awhile everytime we go out in the Pine Barrens, as we usually hang out around the woods surrounding Goshen Pond. We're all big fans of outdoor live music, some of us musicians, some of us just making stabs at it for fun...

This is precisely the issue that I believe won't be able to be overcome. The immediate argument will be 'If there is a fire, we need to get back there with our vehicles.' Secondary argument, 'If there are people camping there, registered or not, we have to play Mommy and be able to drive back...

Man, I never thought my thread would be resurrected so long after the initial post. Regardless, I think the restrictions need to be even more strict for this campsite. The problem with the Mullica River campsite is that you can drive pretty much until about 500 yards from the site where the sign...
