Water is more important than oil.

I agree with all of you! Every single opinion expressed here is valid. Every one. So where do we go from here? I'm so glad I'm not an elected official. Speaking of Joseph Wharton...and his water scheme for Philadelphia that was thwarted by NJ...have you all heard about the Saudi haying...

It's not "either/or"' it's "neither". Prevention of the abuse of the pines (and lots of other places in this little state) is paramount, whether by inappropriate vehicles or pipelines. The key is to ascertain what is true abuse. And that is what people will never really be able to agree...

I have a lot to say on this topic, but no energy right now. I agree that things sure are better in many ways in many places in New Jersey than they were 40 or 50 years ago. But not entirely so and we can do better. Love this site. Great diversity of opinions. Tons of knowledge.

Jason, I respect these guys as long, long term Pines advocates. It pains me too not to report this. But if the long term consequences are worse than the actual damage, then I have to take this into consideration. I would be interested in helping to clean up this site. How can we prevent this...

But the law-breaking must be stopped: the question, as always, is how? In the perfect scenario, everyone would understand that this a very precious but fragile and vulnerable place and would tread lightly. We can try to educate, but we all know this can only do so much. Assuming that more...

This might work, but one little caveat in the age of drug-resistant bacteria: Any time you have a lot of open sores like this is an easy entry for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that is pretty much everywhere right now and quite easy to "catch". It's not that it's that's...

This looks very attractive. Is it a local product? I'm not set up for wood at my place right now, but have been contemplating it. Please pardon my ignorance.

Not exactly Pine Barrens related, but highly recommend this program if you have an opportunity to view it: http://www.pbs.org/program/eo-wilson/

The area is really lovely and really serene. I walked all of those access routes to the pond. The footpath to the north of the dam is really overgrown at one point (fine with me), and I must say I’m glad I treated my clothes with permethrin as recommended on this site, as I didn’t have a...

The part of the pond by the dam wasn't dry, just the upper part.

Ah, yes. I hear you--don’t mean to seem so negative. I love the pines. So besides being irked about the behavior of slobs, I like everything about the area. A couple of weeks ago (before it rained), I walked from Batsto village to Mannis Duck Pond and beyond, starting by following the river...

I'll take it from you guys as the experts. No reporting. I carry out small amounts of trash too, but all those pallets and chairs and things...well that's just beyond my abilities!

Wow, that is really depressing. :(

Yes--this is exactly the spot I'm talking about. I see on some maps it's called Lower Forge-High Crossing Rd (for instance, on the "MAP", which shows it open) and on others it's Mines Spung Rd. It's really a mess. Are you serious that we shouldn't report things like this? It would seem...

I've already let it be known that I am clueless regarding technology. If I screw this up royally, I do apologize. I'm guessing you all probably know about this disgusting site (LF-HC). 3 foot tall bonfire cinder cone; beer bottles and cans strewn everywhere; underwear, socks, other random...

That is true beauty.

Thank you for the explanation Teegate! I admit to being very technologically-challenged. When it comes to technology, I mostly leave it up to the professionals (at work) and my kids (at home). I also agree with Tom, the original poster, that it is difficult to pick a place to start, when...

Finding this site and forum was a gift. I had just read about "Iron Pipe Road," and went to Google to investigate, then found this site. I wish to say thank you for the work that awaits my reading, as well as accepting me into this forum. I can't wait to get out into the woods! I'm new...
