Thank you! This is the point I am making. They wanted to vote out the last head of the commission because he didn't favor Christie's authority. The man Christie backed was voted incompetent for the Job. But,some political backstabbing occurred and christe managed to stack the commission with...

Yes I do. And as reported by the draft proposal that you attached to me, ten miles of this pipeline will leave the road to pass directly through a plot of la nd in the forest management area. As defined by the Pinelands Commission itself: The Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan establishes...

I'm sorry, but you are wrong: http://www.pinelandsalliance.org/protection/hotissues/development/southjergasline/ http://media.philly.com/images/20131130-pinelands-pipeline.jpg http://thejerseyphiles.com/tag/pine-barrens/...

You are only partially correct. The fact is that this pipeline will only partially run along established highways. There is a stretch of 7 miles through forest will be drilled under one lake and two streams. Contamination from building it, and possible failure could contaminate the 17 trillion...

I'm insulted that you called my comments political whining. I did not speak to anyone on this forum in that manner and I will be reporting you to the site moderators for the jibe.

Yeah, it is a political issue as well as an environmental one. The politics involved are dishonest, and you miss the point of how this is the first time the commission has been stacked by the state government. This proposal has been knocked down twice already. There is something fishy going on...

From my research, past pipelines constructed through the pinelands were done so before the establishment of the commission. In regards to the powerlines, I have seen them, I don't particularly find them to be too much of an eyesore but they do pose danger to a fire prone forested region and I...

Hi everyone, I'm really pissed off that Christie stacked the commission to get a positive vote on that natural gas pipeline. I think that his history of retribution against those who oppose him is rather juvinile. I hope campaigning against the project isn't a lost cause. I fear for the...

What is that "Mysterious America " book like? Is it any good?

Yeah, it's not like Wikipedia is known for the accuracy of its sources. Some people want to believe so badly in the paranormal that they will create lies they then tell themselves to believe are true. I guess I understand the need to believe in fanciful things like that, but there is enough...

I am humbled by this level of knowledge you have. I have no sources to validate this claim. I would like to know where this claim originated, then perhaps it would be easier to evaluate. Anyone know the source of the claim?

Ah, I mistook what you said. I read it that you couldn't find any claim to an Indian name for the pines, and not that you have heard this claim but cannot validate it. I will try to find a true way to test this translation and post it if I am able.

Found this quote on Wikipedia : The Lenni Lenape tribes called the area "Popuessing". meaning "place of the dragon".

I think so too. I have spent much time deep in the forests, and I have not had one encounter with the JD. I have heard the theory that people were seeing a sand hill crane, aand their imaginations just got the better of them.

It may be more like a demon or something serpentine. I don't know the exact words used. I will try to find the info and post it when I do.

I'm a skeptic believe me when I tell you that, but there were thousands of sightings. Schools and places of work closed, and there had to exist a relitive similarly in discription of the creature, less we would not have the image of the Jersey devil we describe and portray in various media as we...

It is an interesting article. However, it doesn't explain events far older that feature the Jersey Devil or a creature similar to it. The Lenape Indians had a name for the barrens that goes something like " the place of the dragon." Clearly there is evidence that there may be an entity that was...

Do I need to sign up somewhere for that?

When is that big hammock camper get together in Wharton happening?

Saw that didn't go, anybody else go?
