Does anybody up in my neck of the woods (Ocean County) have a copy of Atsion: Town of Four Faces that they could lend me for a week or two?

I've been thinking a lot about Webb's Mill over the last few weeks. Today was beautiful so I decided that I ought to go out and take a quick poke around. One of the things that got me fired up about the place was this quote from the NYNJCT Botany page: (Emphasis is mine.) I figured that it...

All: I've recently noticed a sharp decline in the quality of posts on this site. This website is intended to be a serious resource for folks doing research on, or enjoying the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. The forums get read by folks all over, from folks in state government, to kids in school...

Hey guys - This morning the server (presumably - I haven't had a chance to fully investigate) ran out of memory and crashed. I could bore you with a lot of technical details but the summary is that I have an idea of how I can prevent this from happening in the future and I'll be spending some...

Our friends at Pine Island Cranberry Company got hit really hard with the tail end of Issac this week: http://www.picranberry.com/bad-day-black-rock/ I'm sure they'll recover, but man, they've had a rough time the last few years.

I was out by Warren Grove today. I was exploring the pine plains a bit when I started hearing jet noises. For some reason I thought they only used the range on weekend days. I drove up Bombing Range Rd. until I hit the gate. There was a small crowd watching jets basically just flying in...

Hello - Looks like some folks have noticed that we're seeing an increased number of spammers signing up in the last few days. Looks like they're all coming from Russia. I've taken some actions in the back end to discourage the registrations, but it'd be helpful if folks see one that gets...

I took Dana out to visit Brooksbrae today. The place is covered in spray paint. It seems fairly recent, too - the vandals left their empty spray paint cans behind. It's really, really sad.

So every other day or so I end up posting a photo up on the Facebook page for folks to look at. I went into the gallery here and found a historical photo of a sawmill. The Library of Congress caption doesn't go into any detail about where the image was taken - it just says "Old sawmill, pine...

Hi everyone, On July 13, 2002 I went and registered the domain name njpinebarrens.com. A few days later I had a website and discussion forum up and running. Ten years later the website and forums are still around and are, arguably, one of the best resources on the internet for folks interested...

http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2012/06/concern_surrounds_stagnant_sta.html Already saw one "not with my tax money" comment that someone posted. Ugh.

Hi all, I just received an email from Barbara Solem. She's been working with Rob Auermuller, the Wharton Superintendant to get the Atsion Mansion reopened. She's created a tour script and is currently training volunteers to give tours of the mansion. Last Saturday was the first tour of the...

Not sure if many folks on the forums use Facebook, but NJPineBarrens.com has a Facebook page that you might want to like if you want. http://www.facebook.com/njpinebarrens I've been posting various historic photos as well as some photos that I've taken of the pines over the year. Sometimes...

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/19/us-homestead-anniversary-idUSBRE84I0H620120519 I'd like 160 acres of land for free.

Hey everyone - I've just launched a slightly redesigned home page for the site. http://www.njpinebarrens.com I'm playing with some caching technology with the site, so let me know if you have any problems or things look weird. I'm hoping to make it run pretty fast. Any suggestions or...

Hey everyone: My hosting company is asking me to migrate the site to a new server. They're in the process of spinning up a new machine for me. Once that is done I'm going to begin the somewhat arduous process of moving all of the data and databases over to the new machine. I am not 100% sure...

Anybody use em? Like em? I'm thinking about turning them off. (It's the green thing that has a county name at the beginning of a thread.)
