Even Rolling Stone is reporting on the pines http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/will-americas-worst-wildfire-disaster-happen-in-new-jersey-20160420?page=2

There's a Red Flag Warning today. No chance of rain for about a week, rising temperatures and a relatively dry spring, all during peak fire season. This could be a long week for our friends in the FFS...

A very good article on where most of us fall in regards to the MAP http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/homepage-feature/item/92106-plan-to-close-roads-in-wharton-state-forest-kicking-up-dust-among-locals?l=df

A month or so ago I was driving along the Batsto River. At a usual spot that I've stopped in the past I noticed relatively new mile markers on the stream. I'm assuming that these have been done by canoe liveries that do this for safety. With that said I find it hard to believe that the best way...

Ok, I'm sure everyone is thinking the same thing. Last week I was out jigging for stripers and we caught 3 summer fluke. Yesterday we were out in the pines saw two black racers. Now today the spring peepers are starting up in the retention pond. I'm starting to think I slept through winter.

Ok, I'm at a loss on this one. As I was walking by I thought it looked like someone set down a 5 gallon bucket. I turned around and the only prints were my own. Why would this be spinning. I'm thinking its from underground but I didn't see much evidence of that either.

Approximately 80 acres are envolved near the Clayton Pit. Haven't heard much more yet. Conditions are very dry out there.

This past Sunday weather was nice and I had the house opened up. Around 4:00am I woke up and heard a different noise then normal. I heard a coyote, I'm pretty sure anyway. I was able to finally get two howls on my cell phone but it's very faint compared to what I could hear in person. I'm...

The first crew is being deployed Keep them in your prayers for their safe return. http://www.nj.gov/dep/newsrel/2015/15_0068.htm

Just watched the show on the Smithsonian Channel. Basically its all footage from drones but gives a lot of history of NJ. It includes the pine barrens and has footage of Batsto. I think it comes back on Tuesday. I'm going to set my DVR

I can see a large column of smoke while I'm driving home from work. My wife is telling me there is a fire off 206 near Atsion.

I'm just looking for everyone's opinion on what they think is a "piney". I've seen on other posts mention of the definition of a piney from where you were born to what you call home. Growing up I was taught that being called one was derogatory. Today I have friends and coworkers from more urban...

I just took my daughter to her first soccer practice at the end of Burnt Mill Road in Waterford Township last week. To my surprise I noticed a mound of gravel where it changes over to dirt. I decided to take this way home since it is shorter to cut through the woods than it is to loop around...

I just came across this the other day. I could be wrong but this would allow the forest fire service to train land owners to do their own prescribed on their lands. http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2012/Bills/S0500/368_I1.PDF

I just wanted to take a minute and say hi. I have been lurking here for a good while and enjoy most of the posts here on the forum. I have lived just about all my life here on the edge of the pine have always been interested in the local history. I don't seem to get to spend any time in the...
