Hi Scott
That picture is Dave Amoto's old home stead.Shame his family in Hammonton did not take care of Dave's place after he passed on.
Point of interest.:Years ago Dave's home needed a coat of paint.A group of Enduro Riders,and their families showed up and made Dave's place look like...
I am surprised at the two previous responses..The closing of one road is not acceptable.The roads we are talking about have been in use the last 200 years.They have been all public roads.We all have to join this fight to keep OUR roads open.When a hiker gets cut, we all bleed..

A petition can be seen on the above web site.3131 have signed it so far.
I received a message on my phone from an employee of the N.J.Fish and Wildlife.I contacted him Monday as I spent the weekend at the shore.I spent most of the time telling him why the public roads should not be signed off.
He obviously had no idea as to how many people use the Wharton Forest for...

Really a great report on Your Penn Swamp Outing.The pictures were super.Seems like I was on the hike with you all.Scott told me about the hike.Scott reminds me of the Piney's I have known.Scott is a great friend.Guess we have a lot in common.Please keep the reports coming.Wish I could come...
Fellow Pineys
Have been roaming the Pines since 1941.At that time it was the Wharton Estate.Time flys by.I could not be able to young people.Love to read about your stories and your pictures are awesome.Please keep them coming.
Before The State acquired the Wharton Estate There were a lot of Gun Clubs on what is now the Wharton State Forest.That was in the early 40's.The G.I. Club.,Dividing Creek Gun Club to mention a couple.When the State demolished the clubs,that was the end of an era.Shame.
Sure like the way you cover your outings with info and pictures,capped with a Happy Hour.There is no way that I can be with you in person.Looking forward to more hikes and pictures.Thanks fellow Pineys
I appreciate your pictures and reports of your hikes.If I was dumb enough to join you.You would need to get me out with a helicopter.The next best thing is reading about your adventures.I first got acquainted with Wharton Estate in the year 1942.
That was before the State of NJ purchased the...
I remember driving the trails before 4 wheel drive became popular.That was back in the 40's.World War II made them popular.The most the trails were used was during six day firearms season..that was before the State bought the Wharton Estate.
