That's a tough one...its hard enough to lose a dog to old age or disease, but at least he died doing what he loved. However, if that had been anyone on this board I bet the pooch would have lived because the State Police would have gotten coordinates down to the minutes and seconds!

My Mom announced at Christmas that in light of the fact that I'm graduating from college in May we'll all be going to Turks and Caicos this June. I've been reading up on things to do and my priorities are as follows: Beaches Gambling Cigars I've heard that the best beaches are reached...

Good Lord...someone forward that to Larry the Cable Guy. "Cletus knew he screwed up when he realized he forgot to defrost the fish before he tied it to the stump!" LOL

Forgive me but my geography isn't all that up to snuff-are these areas pretty close together, as in you hiked to all of them or drove? I need to get down there more...

Update: My faith in humanity is renewed. I got a sincere apology and a handshake from the guy today at work. We both admitted being a little too "fired up" that day-easy to do in a stressful world I guess. :guinness: I'll drink to that!

I never saw that episode but I'm a big fan of the show. You would think that since they usually strive to be so authentic they would have actually taken the time to go down there. Of course maybe negative press is something the Pinelands don't need. If I mention the Pinelands in conversation...

Well, honestly I feel like this is the only place I can chat with "my people" sometimes... While we all share a common interest in the Pinelands, we also seem to basically be of the same sort of personality/mindset-far removed from whatever the personality of a North*east* Jerseyan is-thank you...

I'm convinced that North Jerseyans are boiling over with pent up rage at this point. I mean I guess it's understandable when you consider they spend 75% of their lives stuck in traffic and the other 25% smelling whatever awful odors come out of Elizabeth, but when it spills over onto me I get a...

Went to the library to check the exhibition out yesterday. I got a few good shots but only two groups of photos were dedicated to the Pines. Most of the rural scenes were of Sussex and Warren Counties. I got a few ok shots, but all the photos were in glass cases and I had to kinda guesstimate...

If you ask me the problem is these damn promiscuous deer! I talked to one buck the other day and he told me that he never uses a condom because it doesn't "feel as good." I say mandatory abstinance education for all fawns! :mrgreen: But seriously...if I were a deer I'd rather be shot...

Funny, this place sounds a lot like an old restaurant in Hamilton called Giovi's. It sits right where Rt. 130 South splits (if you bear right right you're on Rt. 156) just before Bordentown. Most people just call it "The lighthouse" because there's a 40 foot tall light from an old Navy...

Actually a lot of my dad's side of the family comes from Columbus, Browns Mills, and Hedding. The surnames of my great grandparents are Potts, Montrey, Hall, and Kennedy. Around Hamilton Twp. in Mercer County I never really ran into too many people with those last names at all, but I met a guy...

Being a history major I've always been itching to know where I came from and know very little. My Grandparents on my mother's side are both dead, my father's mother is still alive, but I just haven't had the chance to really sity down and talk with her much lately. There's about half a million...

My Grandfather who hunted his whole life in the pines carried buckshot around in his calf from the time he was 14 until he died. I don't know where he was exactly, but I remember him telling me he heard the shot and felt like he had just kicked a hornet's nest. I always thought it was odd that...

I don't understand...the deer walked between them? Meaning their stands were 100 yards apart and the deer walked between them and the father fired on the deer with a RIFLE knowing that his son was in the general direction? :confused:

Sounds like one of the few places to left I'd actually like to live in this state. You don't truly loathe suburbia and urbanization until you live in the Northeastern Hellhole that is Essex County for an extended period of time.

Nahhh...just kiddin. The only thing to be afraid of down there is Dun Dun Dun... THE JERSEY DEVIL!!! :jd:

Thanks for posting that. I was about to do it from one of the computers at work since my school is so backwards because of the IT Nazis. Anyway, I'm hoping it will be a good fix for me since I've been Pinelands deprived since the summer. Hopefully I'll get out to Colliers Mills over Christmas...

Arghhhh...My school sucks and we can't paste anything on the web because the right click on the mouse is disabled. Some sort of B.S. security measure. Anyway, I saw this article in today's Star Ledger. This photographer took a lot of photographs all over the state and apparently took a lot of...

My brother is looking at Lock Haven University which is right in the middle of what you'd call "Pennsyltuckey." Also not too far from where my dad's cousins live up off of the Northeast Extension. Picture ZZ Top on Harleys-when my dad was a kid and he spent time out there they used to see who...
