Hi Guy, A friend once told me there was a marker on top of Devious. This is a bit of trivia.

Guy, Every picture tells a story don't it? (Rod Stewart, 1970). I am 48. Graduated 1972, Pemberton Township High School.

German, Speaking of bulldozers grinding away down the road, did you see that sign announcing a new senior citizen community on the road out of Whiting towards route 70 (Manchester blvd?)? It is called Meadows at Lake ridge West. That is sad. I really thought they were done building in Whiting...

German, Its not that I would wish to see the abrubt cessation of existing timber operations. But I would definitely not like to see new outfits come in with their sole purpose being to make a buck and leave. My motto is; don't encourage timber harvesting in the pine barrens. Jeff's motto is...

Jeff, Sending ATV's to Forked River Mountain is a bad idea. The mountain is actually owned by a construction company. On the northeast side of the mountain there is a slight spring of water seeping out of the mountain that collects in a wet spot at the base. Pine Barren Tree frogs have been...

So with you it comes down to cost does it Jeff? And you have tagged me as an environmental extremist have you? For the record I am not totally against timber harvesting or lumber jobs in the Pacific Northwest. But all right, maybe I misunderstand you. I'll assume you are very knowledgeable on...

The following slide show might interest some of you. There is a fee of $8.00 and pre-registration is required because only 25 people can fit in the room....... Saturday, April 6, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon The Nature Conservancy’s Pine Barrens Program is offering a special slide presentation...

Jeff, Your continuous argument that this project and other timber projects are needed to keep our economy strong and provide jobs is nonsense. This is New Jersey my freind. There are plenty of job opportunites without resorting to working in the woods chopping up pitch pine trees. How many...

The below is an example of the state doing something dumb and unnecessary based upon suggestions from hunters and timber companies. Note who is benefitting from doing this; the timber companies, who are making computer paper and hospital gowns from the pulp. Note also that suppression of...

Ed, You canoed from Chatsworth Lake to Chips Folly on the Mullica? Do you mean you actually canoed all the way through that network of bogs to the West branch of the Wading River, and then on to the Mullica? That had to be a hell of a trip; 9 to 11 hours long, right? What was the section right...

Jeff, I could not but help noticing that this guy you often quote, Patrick Moore, receives the bulk of his funding from lumber companies, many of whom do considerable damage by clear cutting up in British Columbia. There is even a web site set up for the sole purpose of discrediting him. The...

Jeff, You have a pedantic, condescending way of setting forth an argument that can be grating on ones nerves. You let the teacher in you go way too far. No wonder you got into heated arguments with other boards you posted on. You have your views, I have mine. Nothing will change that. In that...

You can get almost every topographic map on the Pines put out by the USGS at the park headquarters at Lebanon State Forest. And the price is ridiculously cheap, about $4.00 each.

I don't know Jeff, I'm still trying to figure you out. You seem to speak with a forked tongue. First of all, I tend to mistrust anyone who uses the term "tree huggers" with a hint of derision. In your post, you at first speak of a "concern..(that the)..claims of endangered species in the Pine...

Barry, You need to know something. Although not a lot of us respond to your posts, I for one love to read them and find your enthusiasm contagious. Please don't ever stop because no one responds. You carry the torch for all of us. We all love the pines (I hope I speak for all), but you have a...

Barry, In Green Bank, right before one enters the Wading River Bridge heading south (coming from the road that goes back to Lake Absegami), there is a cemetary behind the house on the right, right before the bridge. Ever been there? Who's buried there?

Way to go Barry!

Jeff, Why are you so gung-ho on thinning the trees or lumbering in order to prevent wildfires? Do you work for a lumber company? The pines are the way they are because of wildfires. The more you try to tame the pines, the less they will look like the pines, and you will lose them forever...

I was there many years ago. Remember the story about the cow that gored the landowners daughter?

Guy, I had a post from the old board concerning the pits. I copied it below: When you were young and full of yourself, did you ever happen to party at the clay pits north of route 72 near Woodmansie (circa 1970-1980)? What a hoot that was, and what a strange section of the pines it remains to...
