As a kid growing up in Forked River, I heard people talk about how the military stored ammunition in the pines. People talked about bunkers and buildings. I heard they were near the railroad bed. Not too long ago they burned the area between the mountain and the railroad bed. There are now 3...

Walked in the Lacey Materials today after the controlled burn over a week ago. They burned as far as I could see from Lacey Road to the back of the cleared areas and into the woods beyond that. They even burned each individual pine island regardless of size. They widened and graded some roads...

Took a walk through Amatol/Race track area today. They made a bunch of new fire cuts. Perhaps they are going to burn down there too. Afterwards I took the kids over to Winslow Junction. I could not believe the destruction and damage that has occurred there in the last year. Every inch of train...
