    More smoke in the pines

    I mean, I don't know about that. The little store was pretty cool. They had a whole section of Pine Barrens books and they sold locally grown blueberries, cranberries, honey, etc, and other locally made products (soap, candles, etc). You could get a jug of Boost, I think. Sure, it was just a...

    An interesting prospect with likely pitfalls

    Wasn't me. I did stop by yesterday to snap a couple of pictures of its current state, though. In case someone immediately starts razing it. The former "Regency Room" around back. It definitely needs a lot of cleanup work, but at least from the outside, it doesn't look so bad as to require...

    I'm thinking that's probably just inaccurate information on the listing.

    An interesting prospect with likely pitfalls

    I remember eating there when it was open, probably at least 15 years ago. They also served British food in addition to the pizza, if I remember correctly. Something of an odd combination. The couple that ran the place were very friendly people. I drive by it often, but I guess I hadn't...

    More smoke in the pines

    Oh, I see. Thankfully nothing has actually gone up in smoke - the thread title is just a reference to the property being leased out to a cannabis company following the closure of the diner. The dining space is supposed to be turned into a manufacturing facility for cannabis balms, and the old...

    More smoke in the pines

    Sorry - I thought it would be pretty clear in context, given that this whole thread is about the diner.

    Are E-bikes motorized vehicles?

    I saw this page as well while researching, but I assume that this Title 39 stuff is in addition to the Park Service Code if you are operating this kind of bike in the forest. Technically, these could also fall under the definition of off-road vehicles, since they are defined so broadly. So I...

    Are E-bikes motorized vehicles?

    I had actually been considering something like this as a relatively inexpensive, very low environmental impact way to get back onto some roads that I can definitely not get my car down and which would otherwise be long hikes...

    Schmung road

    If you are looking for how "Shamong" probably became "Schmung," you really don't have to go much further than the first 20 seconds of this great video which was just posted: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/an-interview-with-spike-wells.14700/#post-178328 :)

    Resistance Grows to the New Plan to Close 200 Miles of Roads in Wharton State Forest

    I guess they are showing roads that cross onto private parcels, or maybe where the right of way becomes private. One example is the lower branch / original track of "West Mill Road" that enters the property boundaries of the Paradise Lakes campground. Another looks like Birches Rd which splits...

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    Yes, I can definitely come back to this later and easily update the line color. You're right, the contrast is not great.

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    I'll link to it, as it's probably much too large to upload here at full resolution: https://ibb.co/mNgMHvc Some further notes: It is basically a guarantee that I missed things and that this contains mistakes. This was done as a quick learning exercise rather than a serious attempt at producing...

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    I am close to finished with a hand-annotated composite map. It is similar to the 2017 one prepared by the Pinelands Commission, except I stitched together the full resolution USGS topos using whichever quads were most recently updated, and then overlaid the new "visiting" vehicle use map...

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    Jason, it sounds like you are already well aware that clearly not everybody opposed to this plan fits into those categories, so why would you characterize it that way? You grant that there is nuance, but I don't really see much nuance in your statement. Surely it cannot be that difficult to...

    Thanks, although for maximum impact when writing elected officials, I like snail mail.

    No problem, I didn't think that would be an issue. Won't happen again.

    (Link Removed by Ben) Enjoy. Note from Ben: This will get me sued. Sorry.

    West Jersey Cranberry Meadow

    Wouldn't it have been nice if the state spent $1.25M on acquiring this tract and absorbing it into Wharton, rather than spending probably close to that money on this whole multi-year campaign to close roads?

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    I do not have Facebook, but forwarding him a physical copy of the letter I submitted to the DEP is probably not a bad idea.
