The thing with scopes is they are usually used with tripods due to their higher magnification. I think the limit for hand held viewing is something like 10x. A 56mm objective isn't small either. A proper fixed power 8x or 10 monocular will be smaller and lighter - I'd be looking for something...

Editorial in todays Press of Atlantic City: https://pressofatlanticcity.com/opinion/editorial/dep-determined-to-resolve-pinelands-access-disputes/article_8559b50c-1713-11ed-851f-03abebd4d496.html A MAP and permit system are on deck for this year according to the editorial. Says the DEP will...

He seems to be overlooking or not care, that whether he/you/I/we like it or not, there are is a non-insignificant number of New Jersey-ians that choose to recreate on ATVs. Would seem to me the DEP has the obligation to take those people in to account looking at their guiding principles. And...

Thats the thing - people set on not obeying the current law are not going to be detered by a permit. Now if the objective is to reduce the number of legal visitors, a permit system should work quite well.

Color me skeptical. Let's talk at such a high level with little detail that it impossible to disagree then cede power to this group to fix the high level problems with which "we cant disagree" - sounds like a great recipe to get the MAP they wanted last time. Especially considering some of the...

Guy mentioned VT earlier in this thread. We spend a lot of time up there and are starting to know the area pretty well. VT does something that should be explored as an option here - they designate some old roads as Class 4, Unmaintained. Basically the road is left open to the public but the...

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

A woman is claiming she was stalked by a cougar in by Seaview Ave in Galloway this week. If not familiar with this area, Seaview Ave borders county hunting land that is also popular with mountain bikers. One of my mountain biking buddies does a lot of the trail maintenance there and is part of...

Interesting. The original article that was forwarded to me through email stopped after stopped after LeTourette's quote - I just dug out the Press article and went back to read the full on WHYY's site and sure enough it continues on and there is the quote from Hedden. Word for word the...

I spent a few minutes googling yesterday after reading and noting the date on the article Bob posted. I only spent 5 minutes or so looking so could have missed it, but I didn't see anything that indicated there were hearings last summer. Maybe they will have something after the tool they are...

Forgive me if I'm a bit cynical, but “It’s not as though there’s one group that’s noble and one group that isn’t,” he said. “It’s far too easy to idealize one party and villainize another. It’s not the case that every off-road vehicle user is a bad guy, and not every environmentalist is...

The PR machine is at work. Same exact article in todays Press of AC

Looks like you are not the only one that has that feeling. There was a short piece in The Press yesterday - the meeting has been moved to the Egg Harbor City Community School on Haven Ave. Still at 6:00

Pretty sure the road is public to the intersection with Stevenson. If I recall correctly, the gate is just east of the Stevenson intersection.

Yes, by Sims Place. This is the spot to which I am referring, it's 5.3 miles off 563 per googlemaps: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.74222595953502&lng=-74.4524217635132&z=15&type=hybrid&gpx=

Not sure if this is where the closure is, but there is a culvert just before the bogs (if you're heading east from 563). I would guess its right around 6 miles from 563.
