    Greenwood WMA arrest

    Another victory for the MAP defeat. It's pretty messed up that this is going on in the woods these days.

    A Piney cabin in the woods

    Thankfully.

    A Piney cabin in the woods

    Why bother with an ORV park when you're so close to Wharton? (This is sarcasm, Jason.)

    A Piney cabin in the woods

    I wonder what that cleared field to the side of the house is for?

    Pineland Commission approves pipeline

    The most devastating problem with utilities because of Sandy were the Verizon copper POTS lines that ran out to Mantoloking that they are still trying their hardest not to replace.

    Pineland Commission approves pipeline

    You think I click on every link that gets posted here? ;) I didn't actually read the article that dogg linked to.

    Pineland Commission approves pipeline

    There's a big difference between the gas line running under your street and what they're proposing to run to the BL England plant. And yes, actually we should look to replace aging infrastructure. Or do we just all sit back and do nothing while natural gas leaks into the air around us? How...

    Pineland Commission approves pipeline

    Are you saying that gas pipelines don't leak?

    Pineland Commission approves pipeline

    From 2010: http://www.transcanada.com/announcements-article.html?id=1283846 From 2016: http://news10.com/2016/04/08/keystone-pipeline-leaks-17000-gallons-of-oil-in-south-dakota/ People really want unnecessary pipelines like the SRC and the one to BL England going through their towns? ALL...

    Washington Tavern

    I've never seen a horse stable with a basement, which is what we're looking at here. Also, if you were building a stable, would you make the partition between the "stalls" out of brick and stone? I think it's unlikely given the extra unnecessary expense of the stone. I'm more inclined to...

    PPA beating the drum again

    It's just sad to see an organization that I thought of as being a force for good just a few short years ago now turn into a cabal of crazed, intolerant, hate mongers hell bent on pushing their agenda without regard for anybody else. I wish they would direct the kind of energy they're putting...

    Pineland Commission approves pipeline

    Jason beat me to it. But I'll explain a bit more. The pipeline itself is not the end of the world. Yes, it follows roadway for a portion of the distance but it also crosses several bodies of water and wetlands. They're using a technique called horizontal drilling to basically dig underground...

    How much open space

    Rutgers is trying to bring back the Jersey Tomato. http://njfarmfresh.rutgers.edu/jerseytomato.html

    DEP evaluating pay to access WMAs

    I don't know how they'd implement this. There's multiple ways to access WMAs in the Pines, and there's no "WMA Office" nearby where you could even go buy a permit. Unless they're going to put a toll plaza at every entrance this doesn't seem likely to happen. That's not to say I wouldn't pay to...

    Anybody want to write an article or review of something?

    That would be great, thanks!!

    ORV Management In Sensitive Areas Of Wharton

    Awesome. Too bad they couldn't nail the Escape driver.

    Eco-Terrorism in the Pines

    Oh, I don't doubt that the damage isn't real and isn't extensive. I've been down plenty of ROWs that look like the battle of the Somme. Just hearing "millions of dollars of damage" makes me skeptical, that's all.

    This is why we can't have nice things. :)

    Eco-Terrorism in the Pines

    I'd love to see the facts that back numbers like that up. Two point five million American dollars to keep 153 miles of sand road passable? What does it cost to truck sand in and regrade a road? Or figure out a way to not have water undermine the road? What's more likely is that they examine...
