Update Sorry Barry, I didn't notice the activity in this part of the forum either. It does sound like you've found a Loblolly. They have been found in quite a few more locations since Stone's work, so it would not be too unusual to find one.

A big part of the problem in the pine barrens is the low value of the timber. The pitch pine has had little use since the days when it was made into charcoal for the iron and glass industry. The oaks here generally don't have a form suitable for saw logs due to the poor soil and internal defects...

I checked out your pics, Steve. I have owned 4x4s and that stuf is fun, or at least it used to be for me, but it really doesn't belong on state or other public lands any more than the paintball nonsense in another post does. Especially when the area is of historical significance and the...

I worked in Central Park in NYC during my last summer while in school. I saw some very scary things along those line in the northern portion of the park, near Spanish Harlem. I'll take the pine barrens any day!

I think there is real potential here. It may just be a matter of giving it some time. I've mentined this forum to several people who are aso PB enthusiasts, but most are not computer enthusiasts! As far as the forum itself goes, it is hard to say what may improve it. A very active forum it...

I was speaking with another Forest Fire Service employee today. He said the third tower site was across Rt. 72 from the Coyle Field air strip. He said the foundations for the tower are still there. If I am in the area soon, I will check it out.

You can't take dogs camping in state forests? That seems odd. You are allowed to walk them there, as well as use them for hunting on those tracts. Wait a minute, what was I thinking? I work for government. Why did I think their rules on dogs would make any more sense than their other rules.

I have heard a slightly different version of the tower's history from one of the staff of the Forest Fire Service. He said that the tower was moved three times, not two, since its original construction and that it was the same tower at all locations. The four bases for the original tower can...

I've been a little surprised by the lack of posts also. I also take part in a message forum focusing on model trains. There are new posts there about every five minutes. No, that was not a typo, I really did say five minutes. It is just a bunch of guys (and few gals) extremly passionate about...

Sounds good to me!

Bob, where exactly is ten mile hollow?
