    ORV Management In Sensitive Areas Of Wharton

    I guess Guy is right about a lot of hunters only coming into the woods for a couple weeks out of the year. It's just not how I (or, I would venture to say, you) grew up-the summer between my senior year of high school and my first year of college I probably spent more time in Colliers Mills and...

    ORV Management In Sensitive Areas Of Wharton

    I wasn't aware that this concession had already been carved out. I will say that as a hunter I see it as plain and simple pandering because I believe the roads should be open to access for all, all year round. However, a basic hunting license is only about $28 for the year and hunting...

    ORV Management In Sensitive Areas Of Wharton

    I haven't been all that active for a number of years here just because I live much further from the Pines than I used to. I've been following this whole situation with dismay and honestly, if it weren't for this site, I would have never known about this at all-it's been years since I've been to...

    Saying farewell to the Toyota FJ Cruiser

    I should add that I don't think the FJ was a flop, I just think they could have gone further - solid front axle, removable top, a little more utilitarian interior, etc... There's no doubt they are tough as nails as are pretty much all Toyota 4x4s. I wouldn't trade my current Toyota pickup for...

    Recognizing and Detecting Hazardous Waste Sites

    I had the occasion to talk with a retired East Brunswick cop once when I visited a Superfund site (there are many in that area) out there for work. When he had started in the late 1960s it was commonplace for tankers to drive late at night out of the "Chemical Coast" area (Elizabeth, Linden...

    Saying farewell to the Toyota FJ Cruiser

    As someone who once owned a real FJ-40, I always felt they missed the mark on the FJ Cruiser. My father, who also bought an FJ-40 brand new in 1978, and actually got a chance to drive an FJ Crusier once agreed. I think Toyota had a real opportunity to go after the market that is now dominated...

    Aerial Video of Forked River Mountain Area

    I know you're joking, but imagine if the state decides to invest heavily (and they might, considering how few parks personnel cover so much ground these days) in this technology. Hiking out to an isolated spot in the middle of Wharton, the Water Gap, etc...and setting up an "outlaw" campsite...

    If I didn't just buy.....

    Man I miss mine (Green 1977 FJ-40)... Bought it when I was 15 (1996) for $2000-I found it on Yahoo classifieds. An elderly couple from rural Virginia owned it. They had brought it out from Arizona when he had retired from the Air Force. I fixed it up and ran it all over the pines...

    Visit to Tuckerton Seaport and Baymen's Museum

    Just got back from the annual week on LBI with the family. My daughter is still little (2.5) and we've got one on the way so we didn't get out on the bay in a boat for clamming/crabbing as I had hoped (hopefully next year), but we had some great days on the beach, caught some crabs from the...

    Bottle hunting reccomendations

    Pineys have been called many things over the years, but I'm betting this is the first time they've been called "elitists." :p

    Bottle hunting reccomendations

    It's clear that you are hell bent on collecting bottles regardless of what anyone here thinks. Have at it, just don't complain because no one is helping you find them.

    Bottle hunting reccomendations

    There's quite a difference between camping in an un-designated area (provided you leave the site as you found it) and removing artifacts from state land. Camping is a temporary use, that, when done properly, does not irrevocably change the environment. Removing an artifact from a site...

    South shore of Atsion Lake

    I wonder if they'd let me through the gate if I flashed my park pass :D We like to spend nice days at the various lakes/picnic areas in the parks and do our best to seek out some of the more out of the way sites so that we can let the dog run off leash and swim without bothering anyone. We...

    South shore of Atsion Lake

    Crud... And I'm guessing the state probably has the other end of the road blocked where it intersects with the park access road?

    South shore of Atsion Lake

    Is there a way to access the south shore of Atsion lake via Ephriam/Sandy Causeway Road? It looks as though you can turn left onto the unpaved continuation of Raritan Avenue in Atco and pick up one of a few different two tracks that lead to the lake. Just looking for an out of the way picnic...

    Very nice maps....

    I'd be curious to know the time frame as well - I found a structure in the DWG that is nothing but an empty field now.

    Very nice maps....

    I'd be curious to know if there's a way to view multiple layers at once? The satellite images are great, but if you could overlay the road map that would be helpful.
