    Apple Pie Fire Tower - Fence/Gate being installed?

    It seems as if when it comes to a dollar or a nice night sky the dollar wins every time,even if it's only worth a quarter any more.They could actually save money and get better lighting with sodium vapor lights but I guess their not as pretty as the eye burning bright lights used in most parking...

    over this way at Moores Beach and Thompsons beach is nice except for the Prison to the north which messes up that horizon.Turkey point is great but you can see Fortescue in one direction and Bivalve in the other but neither one of those places puts out a tremendous amount of light.

    I would disagree with the statement about no light pollution.The pines may not put out a lot of pollution but between Philly and the NJ suburban sprawl that surrounds it and the NJ shore towns,Atlantic City,Toms River etc.the light pollution is quite bad.The best area I have seen in NJ for low...
