After getting the hang of using NJPB maps I went hog wild and began applying them to the area where I want to take my next big trip: Stokes/High Point/Delaware Water Gap. The Gap is actually closer to me than the pines and we'll probably camp up there in November. Between the land condemned by...

For any of you who have followed my Bass River State Forest trip report thread, you know that I'm trying to reconstruct my journey through the northern part of the forest to Martha and then out to Chatsworth Road. I've seen folks who have posted their hikes on here and am wondering how to do it...

D'oh! Just realized I posted this in the general forum and not trip reports-mods please move-sorry! I had a great weekend in the Pines Saturday and Sunday despite not having a lot of time and not being able to figure out exactly where we were some of the time. I think my Garmin Nuvi is not...

I'll be camping with some friends in/near Bass River (Pilgrim Lake Campground) this weekend and want to do some exploring while we're there. I've been through Wharton a few times but never to Bass River. Boyd was kind enough to walk me through loading up my Garmin Nuvi with his maps so I'll be...

My wife recently got a new GPS for her birthday. We had one (Garmin Nuvi 200) that we bought about four years ago, so that one is now relegated to me. Can these units be used for some of the more out of the way places in the pines such as Bass River SF and Wharton SF? I'm sure some of the...

This may sound like an odd question, but does anyone know of any good private campgrounds that offer primitive sites (all we need is a fresh water hydrant, a porta-john, and a firepit) within a half hour or so of Atlantic City? Some friends of mine are getting together in AC for a bachelor...

Hey all...I'm back checking in on my old stomping grounds! As some of you know I ended up moving further away from the pines (Hunterdon County) and don't get down there much anymore :( but recently I got the itch again because my wife and daughter are staying with parents on Long Beach Island...

Selling my baby because I need something with more room. Would make a great work truck-a little big for the pines but it has seen plenty of sand and scrub pine in its lifetime. Truck is located in Hunterdon County. 2003 F350 Regular Cab XL 7.3L SRW 4x4 A/T Manual hubs 195,000 miles Ice...

Hi all-it's been three years since I moved north (Hunterdon County) and while I'm quite happy up here I still miss the pines. I made it down to wind my way from Burlington County to Atlantic City by taking the scenic route but haven't been back since. My wife and I will be visiting our friends...

I was just online looking for some info and saw that the shotgun range at Colliers Mill WMA is closed as of September 24th-does anyone know if its still closed? I was hoping to get out there one morning before work to put a few rounds through an 1100 I just tuned up for buck week. It's a half...

Ok, once again I turn to the Pine Barrens forums to draw on the collective wisdom contained therein. My girlfriend and I are both out of college 1 year now, have paid off our college debts, and are slowly saving for a down payment. Recently we've been researching "piggyback" mortgages which...

Hey everyone. Seems like it's been a long time since I've posted. Unfortunately I haven't been getting to the pines much due to work being crazy, but my pride and my passenger door are still hurting from my last trip anyway :mrgreen: A friend from my office who is a big nature buff but has...

This Memorial Day weekend I dusted off an old set of quoits that probably haven't been touched since my grandfather was alive (10+ years ago) and pitched a few at a BBQ at my house yesterday and a friend's house today. I remember being introduced to the game in my younger years at various...

I don't know if anyone here is in the building trades, but I'm just tossing an idea out because everyone at NJPB is so darn knowledgeable and nice! Sarah and I reeeeeeeeally want to get into a house soon which of course isn't easy in this state to begin with, but we have some additional...

My latest Pines misadventure really pushed me over the edge as far as buying a GPS. I'm not really into making big ticket purchases lately due to the fact that I have to save a mint in order to afford a house in this state, but I'm justifying it like this: I really love exploring the...

Hey everyone. I'm working right now :jeffd: but I should be down in Colliers Mills around 2:00 or so. I'll be exploring the area between Reed Road and Veteran's Highway. There are a couple of interesting looking abandoned bogs that I want to check out. Anyone been in that area before?

Coincidence? I think not-David Chase rarely does anything for no particular reason. The Blue Comet ran through the pinelands-will the Russian return? Will Adriana's death come back to haunt the family? It was never implied that Adriana was killed in the pines, but as it's been shown in the...

Today I decided to talk a walk along the freight line which runs past about a mile from my house. As a kid I never knew much about it besides the fact that the crossing was located close by and once in a great while you'd get stuck when a train would pass. I also remember hearing the low moan...

Anyone here ever heard of Sunrise Affordable Homes? They're a modular (not mobile...no jokes please :v: ) home dealer in Vineland. Not to ramble, but my gf (soon to be fiancee) and I are going to eventually relocate to the Hunterdon County area. Yes, yes, I know EXPENSIVE!!! She landed a...

Too early for a print media story but on my way home 101.5 reported that the Governor's motorcade was involved in an accident on the Garden State Parkway near exit 43 at about 6:20 PM. I doubted it at first but they began to have eyewitnesses call in from the scene. It seems the Governor's...
