I believe it is a problem that has become part of the culture about how we as Americans view the land. It seems that this is how many have been taught to interact with the landscape, as an upsized sandbox for adults with upsized toys. Fixing the cultural side of this is going to take years of...

Heres' another one from May. Look how afraid they are of getting a ticket.

one more, these guys are just focusing on tearing up the roads.

Hmmm, shovel, tarps, AK-47, hitler stash, not a good combination!

Tsqurd, whoever you are, I am not going to reply to such an insulting tone except to say this. I am as piney as it gets, born, bred, and I continue here, so get used to it.

This area is called High Crossing, right along the way to Quarter Mile by the Central RR Line. Some people have complained that the state cut trees to block that area off, but they should have done much more. It seemed to me more like the trees were to protect a recently repaired culvert on...

I personally reported this group to the NJ DEP Hotline, they were out in broad daylight on Saturday Afternoon on Quaker Bridge Rd and other well-traveled areas. This video shows them in multiple areas that are signed off to motor vehicles, including First Beach on the Mullica River. One clip...

I hope you can make it!

Two Day Volunteer Action on Friday, April 29th and Saturday, April 30th at 8:00am in Wharton State Forest. Come either day or both. These signs may allow Park Police to ticket drivers and who have been found destroying areas regardless of whether or not there is a sign at their specific...

Against dirt bikers there isn't much you can do , but we blocked that pond off from the Mud Trucks and Jeeps that destroyed it and they have not been back. You may want to update your scorekeeping system.

Just a note on the trail cameras. You have to position them so far off the area that the resolution on the cameras is not sufficient enough to get license plate detail. Much of this activity is at night and those cameras are almost completely useless for capturing license plate detail at that...

Hi Pines Advocate, I am not sure of your experience here or with the individuals who are responsible for this, but I know them quite well as I grew up in this region. This is not an easily deterred bunch and the trail cam/helicopter/drone talk is really just fantasy. It takes two officers to run...

"Freshwater wetlands, home to a number of endangered species, are especially attractive to mud-loving riders and have been particularly hard hit, officials in both states said. In one wetlands section of Wharton, a barren, muddy expanse is all that is left of what just a few years ago was...

No one would have approved of them going through the Batsto River or Quarter Mile.

Here is a video of them driving through the Batsto River, among other places, in 2013. This is off Glossy Spung Rd. Go to 2:53 for that clip. I recommend muting the speakers

I understand the need for SAR operations with so many people down these rivers, especially in times of high water. Perhaps we should form a party to pretty them up a bit! Spray Paint I think was a poor choice. The Park Service markers along the Batsto(which have been there as long as I can...

Great post. My great-great grandfather, Leon Brown, was born here at Hampton around 1860, his father Joshua Brown was involved with sales for the cranberry operation. They then moved to Decosta some years later to a cedar-sided house my parents restored and still stands in great condition today...

Very cool!

Mark it is really great to read this. I have only had this told to me through oral family history about Fountain. I will have to get copy of Down the Long-a-Coming. If other oral family history is correct, Fountain was also a game warden at that time for Atlantic County.

Very interesting. I lived at the end of the paved portion of Thelma for ten or so years and had many adventures through Thompsontown Preserve and the surrounding area. There was a large Coyote Pack that lived out there in the early to late 2000s. Deer packs as large as 75 or more roamed those...
