Nice! Between this, NJPB maps, and the tax maps I recently found now my productivity at work can really suffer ;)

Not really looking forward to it after all this beautiful weather, but we sure do need it.

Greenwood is a huge piece of land-I think more than 20K acres? So much exploring to be done there.

Yes, Forsythe is a National Wildlife Refuge. They probably didn't list on NJHiking because that crowd is really only interested in the northern/northwest portion of the state. Everyone once in a while somebody will talk/ask about the Batona but that's about it. I'm headed to the Water Gap...

Looks like signs for Greenwood WMA.

To erase him from existence and also provide a plausible explanation of what happened to the body. If we had buried it somewhere or even cremated it and scattered the ashes and the location got out, that site could have become some kind of "holy place" for radical Islamists. I believe that...

Glad everyone is enjoying the newfound resource-it's fascinating looking at who owns what up in this neck of the woods as well. I have found a workaround for the properties that come up "null." When you come to a parcel that has no information, the block and lot number should still come up...

Someone sent this to me to help locate a piece of county land up here in Hunterdon County: http://njgin.state.nj.us/oit/gis/NJ_TaxListSearch/ Not sure if its been posted here or if others were aware of it, but it's a pretty nifty tool. Clicking on any parcel gives you the name and address...

That's a good point, however, as I'm sure you've experienced with the motorcycle, having access to the lesser used, narrower roads that even Jeeps have a tough time fitting down, I'm betting you find a lot fewer puddles to travel through in the first place. Sure, there will always be low spots...

Everything is a trade-off I suppose. The nice thing about a Samurai is that they're not all that tall to begin with. Seems like they don't have much headroom. In any event, it's interesting when you look at the trends in 4x4s these days. If you look at Pirate4x4, which is probably the...

In my younger days I tore up a BFG A/T pretty badly on my Land Cruiser after getting stuck in a hole-I have no idea what was down there but it literally tore chunks out of the tread blocks from spinning the wheels in an effort to get free. That was when I was 17-I'm glad I'm a lot smarter now...

Mud isn't really what I'm thinking about, just sheer ground clearance. As I learned the other day, you can get yourself plenty stuck on solid dry ground. Purpose built rock crawlers that never see mud typically run 38" tires or more in some cases simply to be able to traverse rough terrain...

If I were to get my hands on one I wouldn't lift it but rather just cut/completely remove the fenders and put the largest tires I could possibly fit on it. The goal would be to put the largest tires on possible while keeping the stock track width of 55". A set of 265/75/16s identical to the...

Sounds good-I've poked around that area with NJPB Maps a bit to find old roads. It would be great to go out there with someone who knows the terrain better than I do. Unfortunately right now free Saturdays are at a premium as my wife and I got hit with an onslaught of fall weddings this year...

Definitely! I'm willing to take my Toyota pretty much anywhere as you may have read. Having someone to give me a yank when I need it is always great too. I have a good friend who recently (about a year ago) moved to Long Valley who would be interested in tagging along. Are most of these...

You pretty much retraced my steps from my camping trip back in July-I miss it already!

I'm just down the road from you in High Bridge actually-I set my location as "Copperhead Road" on a whim a couple years ago after discovering the music of Steve Earle for the first time ;) I should probably change that... The piece of land I was on is a small (40 acres or so) slice of WMA land...

What kind of regeneration will occur after this fire? I get that these fires are not the "healthy fires" that the forests need-they are much too hot because of the overbuildup of fuel on the forest floor, but will any of the trees survive? I've read stories of the forests of Pennsylvania which...

Great find! The name "Park Island Canoeing Association" is interesting. I wonder which island was "Park Island?" None of them are named on Google Maps nor the historic topo in NJPB maps. I read the first few pages and enjoyed the account of traveling north via the Pennsylvania Railroad...

The other day I was driving around and saw an old Suzuki Samurai for the first time in a long time. Dang those things are narrow! I looked them up on Wikipedia and found they are only 55" wide, which less than 10" wider than most quads and 13" narrower than a CJ-7, and it barely weighs...
