In response/addition to dragoncjo's post, where is the best place to park and enter the preserve? I've driven past the signs in Chatsworth many times but without a general knowlegdge of the preserve itself, I'm not sure the best place to enter to walk around. Any thoughts? Peace, J.

Ariadne, I used to work for NJOIT in their OGIS department (Office of Geographic Information Systems). They also have online internet map services there too. I haven't been there in awhile but they do have 2002 orthographic photos of the entire state of New Jersey. You can search by...

Dave, Not sure what you mean. Scott's pictures are during the same storm but in different places I believe. Justin

Ugh, my website's photo Gallery is broken . . All, I would've had these pictures up earlier, but I usually like to store them on my personal web site so as to detract from space usage (i.e. money spent) and bandwidth on Ben's server. However, unbenounced to me, my shared host changed some...

All, I'm sure you're all waking up from sleeping in a bit on a nice pre-snowstorm cloudy day. I can feel it in the air as I sit in my apartment in Philly getting ready to pack up and head back to South Jersey. I love snow but I love it even more when it hits areas that hate winter weather so...

Hey all, Sorry for not getting back to you. The fine for illegal camping/having an illegal campfire is $70 (they told us $50). The fine for having alcoholic beverages in a a state forest (we had two empty bottles of wine in trash bags) is $70 (again they told us it would only be $50). So...

This has been my problem with camping in the Pine Barrens. Because of the dense population and therefore, the greater possibiliy of irresponsible campers, off roaders, etc, the laws have been made to eliminate the occurence of this small percentage of people. Therefore, me simply sitting in...

All, I finally got home last Friday night (back to South Jersey) from Philly and I decided to go out with some friends to check out that awesome moon at Friendship. It was freezing outside and there really wasn't anyone else on the trails. We get there, get out of my truck, and...

All, Yeah, North Jersey (and by North Jersey I mean 'Northeast Jersey') is responsible for giving our state the terrible stereotypes we have to deal on a day-to-day basis ('NJ is the Garden State? You're kidding me!'; 'Dirty Jersey'; etc . . .) as we know it today. While at TCNJ in Trenton, I...

I went out for a cruise this morning (around 9:00, 9:30 am) because it was such great fall weather. While I was on my way to Friendship, on the paved portion of Caranza Rd, I saw a firetruck coming towards me, no lights on, and not really speeding. However, after that, I was coming up to one of...

From article: "For the past 15 years, the Mill Creek Organic Farm has participated in a community-supported agriculture program, where shares were sold to people in return for the organically-grown fruits and vegetables grown there. " You know, I always drove by that farm thinking, "Wow...

This is what I've been saying since I started camping in the Pine Barrens 4 or 5 year ago. I hate feeling that every time I camp, it's illegal. I still just go out into places I find on Terraserver that look cool and camp there. One big fine/times illegally camped = $2 fee they charge at the...

In my dealings, not so good. She pulled me over for speeding on Quaker Bridge after I took the side trail so we could avoid having one of us turn off trail to allow the other to go by (i.e. to avoid hurting the environment and plants). She had no basis for my speed as I know they don't have...

The date is settled I see. How about the venue? I'd like to be secluded yet near a body of water cause it's probably going to be rediculously humid (if current weather is any indication). Justin

How are we going to go about deciding which day is the best? It seems there is a ton of interest and as with most popular outings here, it's going to be tough to agree on a date that will accomodate everyone's schedule. Would a poll suffice, Ben/everyone? Or do we just want to say "This is...

I'd love to join in. I've been a member of this site for 2 years and haven't really been on any excursions that don't involve the Internet. Weekends are the best for me now that I live in Philadelphia. Justin

Amen to Pic's, my local hangout for the past year. However, I just moved to Philadelphia . . . I feel like I betrayed the Pines. Justin

All, Well, I had typed up a huge message about my experiences in the Pine Barrens with rangers only to have my browser close on me. The long and short of it is, I consider myself an environmentalist along with my friends and we have never done any harm to the woods. We have certain areas...

All, I will have a second run of my 'South Jersey Pride' t-shirts available within the next month. Should run around $15 w/shipping. I'll post again when they are ready to be ordered and I have a final picture of the design. I'm going to be selling them via the web for the most part so...

Yes, cough cough, I just want to, cough cough, get his side of the story . . . Justin
