Wanted to pass this along. I was at Atsion last week and noticed they were painting the interior of the mansion. I asked when they expect to be open to the public and they said in approximately one month. They said they would initially be giving tours to just the basement and the first floor...

Saw this the other day and thought it was an interesting article. Would be fun to view the Pines from that perspective. Just like the people from yesteryear! http://courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080916/LIFE/809160307/0/LIFE05

Someone was kind enough to give me some old pics of Atco Raceway. She said they were taken in 1968 and by the looks of it that seems to be accurate. They are of the finish line area which is neat because most photographs are taken at the starting line. I love seeing all the pine trees in the...

I went out for a small trip yesterday after work just to drive around and get some fresh air. I ended up taking the road that leads to Dave Amato's house and Boot Hill Deer Club. The old tractor that rests there has always interested me so this time I stopped to take a look. It is parked...

This may sound like a foolish question but I have always wondered if ticks have always been this prevelent in the Pine Barrens. We all have stories of getting covered in ticks when we go out in the Pines during the warmer months. How did the people who lived out there in 1700's and 1800's...

I didn't know if anyone could recommend a handheld GPS for a friend. It is going to be a gift. He will be using it more for fishing and hunting so I guess something rather rugged would be good. I don't know much about them so I thought I would ask on here. Thanks in advance for help.

I'm sure everyone will be happy to see another movie about the Jersey Devil. Check it out here: http://www.thejerseydevilmovie.com/index.html I actually spoke to the associate producer after emailing them and telling them some of their "facts" were not accurate. He said they have fixed...

I'm not complaining about the website or about the thread being closed. I just had to chime in after ready through it. I have commented on ATV and dirtbike use in the pines in the past but just got tired of it. It is such a frustrating discussion/argument. So I kept to myself but after...

www.burlcoriders.org Seems pretty interesting. I would like to see the ATV and off-road community become well organized or better organized than it is. I know there are some people that trying to.

Somebody informed me today that the state has started releasing coyotes into the Pine Barrens in hope that they go after and kill the deer. This same person said the coyotes were from Wyoming and Prudential Insurance was sponsoring this. The idea was to cut down on the amount of deer related...

Pardon the selfless promotion but I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in having a get together at Atco Raceway? I know some people got together at the Silver Fox and it sounded like a great idea. So I want to put the offer out there. I work at Atco Raceway and can get everyone in...

Well, I'm not really sure yet but I think so. I was poking around the woods today after work and ended up driving down two small side roads. It got tight so I parked the truck and decided to do it on foot. Soon after that I walked upon a large puddle with ruts on one side. It was obvious that...

http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/top_story/story/7531323p-7433256c.html I would say Assembly Bill 823 sounds a little harsh. Getting your drivers license suspended for ATV riding, come on! Only in this state. The state can keep increasing the fines and punishments yet they keep reneging...

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2008/01/corzine_challenges_critics_to.html Didn't know if anyone had heard it or read it and had any comments. I don't really drive on the turnpike anymore so the toll hike won't kill me but I feel bad for people that do commute on it. I think a toll raise...

Some people I work with asked me this question and I have heard a couple of different answers. One is the town was named after the Atlantic Transportation Company because the trains would roll through and people would see the name and shorten it to Atco. The other was it was an Indian word...

I know I have heard of some guys and gals making their own wine on here just wondering if any members brew their own beer. Me and my friend are going to give it a shot. It is something I have always wanted to do. Depending on how it turns out I'll be more than happy to share the fruits of my...

Well it is interesting to me anyway. I am from Indian Mills, anyone worth their salt will not say Shamong, haha. Just kidding. I noticed the man who took the pictures has the last name of Bozarth. That'a good old name from the area. Seems like more and more people are getting interested in...

I just found this website not sure if anyone has discussed it on here before or if I should even mention other websites. I just thought the pictures were cool. Good pictures of Atsion. Thought I would pass it along. Maybe this guy is a member here, I don't know. http://jerseypines.net/

I found this pic on the internet of a New Jersey Air National Guard F16. I'm kind of an airplane geek and love reading up on planes, especially military offerings. You can see it says New Jersey on it in red and below the AC lettering and numbers it say "The Jersey Devils." Just thought this...
