    Barrens

    What a coincidence. In about two hours I'm leaving for a long weekend in Driftwood, PA, right in the middle of elk country. Haven't been there for 40 years. My grandparents lived there and I stayed with them in the summer to help them out. My main job was to guard the still from the bears...

    First Beach

    This website, especially this thread, is so informative. All these years I never knew PPA meant Pinelands Preservation Alliance. Who would have thought it wasn't the Petulant Persons Association? Sorry, and my apologies, if my comments crossed the line.

    Storm on Friday Morning

    Jon, Your photographs never cease to amaze me, you truly have incredible skill and passion. Thanks for sharing your work with us. I hope you don't mind a question from someone with far less skill, but I've often wondered if you shoot raw files and bring them home to the computer or if you...

    Cell Phone Reception

    For years i have used Verizon as my cell phone carrier because it was the only carrier that was somewhat reliable in the Pine Barrens. Comcast has offered mobile service, on what they say is the Verizon network, at a substantial difference in cost. Just wondering if anyone has experience with...

    Fireworks

    Just returned from the local NJ Walmart where they had large displays of what was labeled fireworks. Closer inspection seemed to indicate they were fancy sparklers.

    Thanks Teegate, Jon, and Boyd

    I've enjoyed bicycling in the Pine Barrens for many years, road biking when the weather is warm and mountain biking when the cooler weather firms up the sand trails. A few years ago I stumbled across this website and have been an avid reader ever since. I now use Teegate's missives and Jon...
