    New Forum Software

    As you can see, I've switched the software that runs the NJPB discussions. We've been running vBulletin for a long, long time but it's time for a change to something more feature rich, future proof, and sustainable. You should be able to log into your account with your same username and...

    Forked River Mountains at Night

    I took the opportunity of not having much to do last night to run out into the FRM's and practice my night photography. I've got a new camera (Pentax K-x) which is a lot more tricky than my old Canon, which was great at night photography, so I'm working on the technique with this one. It...

    Forked River Mountains

    I was out in the FRM's last night, coming in from 539 near Eureka. Driving towards Aserdaten I saw that the forest had been thinned severely on each side of Jones Rd. I almost didn't recognize things. Anybody know what's up with that?

    NJPineBarrens.com in 2011

    Hey all -- So I've lately been thinking a lot about the site and think that it's time to really shake some things up. There's a lot of things that we do right (forums) but a lot of other things that just plain suck (articles, user photos, etc.) I think over the years the forum has gotten too...

    Articles are going away!

    Hey all -- So it seems like 99% of people who come to the site are coming here for the forums, I've decided that - for the time being at least - that the site is going to be forums only plus the gallery and NJPB Live Maps. So in the coming days www.njpinebarrens.com is going to redirect...

    NEARLY FREE Dell 17" LCD Monitor with Soundbar

    Hey -- I have a Dell 1703FPs monitor that I would like to rid myself of. Works fine. The stand for it is a little wonky (it doesn't quite latch onto the back of the screen all the way) but otherwise it works fine. Also includes a soundbar, which is a small rectanguar speaker that fits on the...

    Original Gordon's Gazetteer of 1838

    Back in the days of my youth, when I had more money than I knew what to do with, I bought myself an original copy of Thomas Gordon's 1838 Gazetteer for an ungodly sum of money, and then shipped it off to an artisan in Canada who professionally rebound it. Fast forward to today, when I need to...

    Cycling in the Pines

    Anybody know of any good bike paths/trails in the Pines? I've recently taken up biking and I'd love to find some nice quiet long trails to ride. The Batona would be interesting, but I think it's closed to bike traffic, right?
