A cal to Trenton Forest Fire service. Indicates so far that at least the person i spoke with. Is not ware of any new fire breaks that have been approved along bombing range road. These may be from old plans that perhaps have just not been implemented until now. I have specificaly requested...

Wow ! Great responses. I hear God speak to me often when in the isolation of the pines. I would enjoy a "fellowship" group that meets outdoors in the Pines say near Warren Grove. Anyone interested. I have a great location available.

I wonder if some better fire protection, clearing etc, has been set up on the range itself? Perhaps someone manning more then one small pick up truck ! Certainly the plowing of these roads looks horrible at first glance to those of us who hike there frequently. Will will soon see the 100...

Does anyone here find visiting the pine's, or perhaps specific sections of the pines is like a religious experience?

Thanks for the responses. I forgot about my posting this question. I was told that the range has some old photos. So I am contacting them to see what they have. Perhaps they will allow me to copy some and I can share them with everyone. Mike

Well your zeal is appreciated !

I see old signs. Thanks ! Seems I touched a nerve with dragoncjo

Don't the signs around the NJCF properties say "access by permission only" ?

Why can't they hire persons without employment to do this? Why seek volunteers? When they have plenty of money in their accounts? Why participate in improving the area and then be kept out of it?

One location to be careful of at anytime. Is north of range road, about a 1/4 mile west from 539. There are many who use this area to illegally target shoot. These are probably not hunters. Plus they leave a huge mess behind. There have been arrests. Some have left when asked to leave...

Also widened...... A path that goes north from range road, then west onto old simms place road. Area is just north of the wetlands behind the pond and behind the 99 cent plastic bombing range signs. Except on Old Simms place road the area flatened is opposite the range side of the road...

There are other lands that could be used to train. The marvels of the plains can be left for all of us to enjoy without the planes or new carved roads. Yes I know the pines need to burn. Each section could be given its turn. Each day I walk these roads always something new I have...

I understand the need for training. I also enjoyed watching the flyby's many times. Had a few from helicopters recently and some demolition has taken place. Not sure planes flying as they are belongs in such a populated area. Fire is good. Protection of property from fire is good too...

Well suddenly the state changes its mind and the range is reopening. Perhaps the feds gave the state an offer they couldn't refuse ! Money makes minds change fast.

It is very sad. They cannot plan anything better then this. I had seen this red and thenblue striped tape hanging in the trees. This is where they plowed through today. Numerous tractor trailers with covered cargo heading into the base recently too.

Three new fire roads have been plowed south off of Bombing range road today. One was just widened and is near bombing range entrance gate just behind the section which was replanted. All can be hiked on and three can be driven on. Hopefully they will block them off. I have no idea how...

Does anyone have any old photos of the Warren Grove area near what is now called bombing range road? I was told that the LEH township at one time took over some buildings left by the army back in the 60's or so. Then they were destroyed in the 70's. The military was supposed to use the...

New Signs - Trash Perhaps the new 99 Cent plastic Bombing Range signs that have been installed will correct pilot errors. HA HA ! It would be great if the surrounding area was cleared of trash with each sortie! The Plains area is absolutely beautiful. After spending several months...

Thanks for the replies! I will heed everyones suggestions the best I can. Also thank you for the god wishes. My purpose was to create a mini reserve/ family retreat location. I was hoping to have others i may befriend to utilize the location with me. What is interesting is how the...
