We don't need anymore town centers or NEW construction in the state. This place has been on my NJ bucket list. I better get out there while I can.

Rednek! Love it!! I definitely got a nice laugh. I haven't met any baby snatchers or strange people back in the woods as of yet.

Hey chemistry comes in handy from time to time. Doesn't lime tend to rise to the surface? Is there a binder that could be put on top of the sand for the lime to take hold? I love the lake and the story behind it. Many volunteers came together and worked hard to get it right.

I've been doing hiking on and off my entire life.I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but definitely better than average. I work out daily so I have enough endurance for these excursions. I think what got me is a bit of exhaustion. I literally walked for a little over 4 hours straight and developed a...

Haha chiggers again? I have read they are not a native species here and are native to the south. They have since moved up here due to the consistent warm winters. However, I am not Einstein.

The carbon exchanged in the PH is vital to the plant life as well. So I have read..... It is crazy what they did to Lake Audrey. Changed the whole PH level of the lake and took YEARS for it to be suitable for fish. Now one of the better locations to catch bass. Lime does wonders.

I wasn't necessarily lost in a sense. It was just getting dark, I was way far out and it did start to get a bit scary. The map is odd. They don't necessarily show the "roads" even though there are dirt road markers. Only the trails are shown on the map.. And some of the trails are the roads...

Dragon, you weren't there yesterday in a Subaru were you?? Hahaha.

I know Rutgers is pretty big on the rain gardens. They've developed them in a few South Jersey Parks my way. It is very interesting the Piney water though. I have looked up the USGS readings. It's pretty neat with the map and locations. Although couldn't find readings on the Cohansey resevoir...

Haha. I was pretty scared. I was there since a little after 2. I had a few hours of daylight left when I realized was a bit lost. Kid dropped and lost his bottle. My battery on my phone died and was somewhere on the West End to where I could not read on a map. It was a "5 way area of various...

Saw my first "wild" bald eagle yesterday here!! Was really cool!! Oh and got lost, but another story for another day.

Thanks Dogg. You ALWAYS bring us awesome info!! We have a lot of invasive species here in NJ. Especially with it getting a bit warmer. IE...chiggers...they never were a problem, but have transported their way up. Also, lots of invasive Chinese and European plant varieties.

I am adding to the story, however, can't find much. However, the house on Maskell Mill Road is quite funny with the stuffed dog hanging out of it!

NJ Chile...it all goes back to that diagram that I believe Dog mentioned. If you look at the aquifer in the Atlantic City/Egg Harbor Area, you see the sand aquifer co-aligning with the Cohansey aquifer and would be absolutely correct in saying that salt intrusion is probably the leading concern...

Hey...keep it "Piney." McRib is the Jersey Devil, Largo!

Thanks Oji. Sounds like something I'd be interested in. I appreciate the info.

We need an expert in geology or scientist in this matter because whatever has occurred or is going on with the water is a huge influential aspect to the ecology of our beautiful Barrens. It is just very different from the rest of the state. Dogg's diagram is actually pretty interesting on the...

Okay I'm doing an upcoming story on this place. There is very limited information about the area. However, it is quite beautiful. This is some of the information I will be posting. Please let me know if you have any other facts/intellectual knowledge you can offer. Maskells Mill Pond...

Yuck! I'd rather eat Pine Barren 'Coon. A forum was created for the McRib? Really?? Hahahahahahaha. Please let me apologize for my horrendous laughter.

ScubaBruce Master...well here's the thing. They say it is because of highly acidic rain hitting the Barrens. Here's the question. Is it chemically altered with the rain and iron and mineral deposits from the glacial period mixed with the soil? Or is this Low PH a probability from the aquifer...
