    A traffic 'whoa' in Shamong

    Oh, who won? Haha The Mustang had no problem with the Monte Carlo SS. We settled more than one "who is faster" arguments with trips to Atsion Road. Usually took place right where the gun club is. At that time the house in the field wasn't there. A lot of things were different back then.

    A traffic 'whoa' in Shamong

    I don't know what it is about that road but it makes everyone want to speed. I drove down there today and as soon as I got to Atsion Road I picked my speed up. I guess because you feel like nothing is around you and through Shamong there aren't many houses. I remember as a kid my father owned...

    A traffic 'whoa' in Shamong

    I noticed those signs last week and was wondering if the town put them up or the people who own the horses. I used to live in Shamong (anyone who grew up there will say Indian Mills, a newbie says Shamong) and I never saw signs like that before. One of the reasons why traffic has increased is...

    Discovery survival shows

    I am no survivalist but one rule I have heard is, "stay dry, stay alive." Then I watch Man vs Wild and the guy is jumping into a river with all his clothes on! I have also read articles about Man vs. Wild being staged. For my money I'll take Survivorman! I find the show fascinating. Tonight...

    Anyone else have an uneasy feeling about the future?

    I know this is not Pine Barrens related so I apologize beforehand. I try to keep up with what is going on the in world and I'm starting to get a litle scared. I believe we are on a collision course with Iran in the near future then Iran will be provoked into attacking Israel, then who knows...

    On The Steps of the Atsion Mansion

    I could be wrong but I thought the pipes were cast at Atsion. I thought they had an "A" stamped on each one. Like I said, I could be dreaming. It is cool though.

    Saw my first coyote.

    Was driving around today in the Pines and saw my first coyote. I came around a corner and thought it was a deer at first but then I noticed the tail and was kind of shocked. Never saw one in the Pines before. Just thought it was cool. I tried to take a picture but he walked into the woods...

    Paintball Legality?

    When I worked for the Public Defenders Office there were a couple cases involving paintball guns and people using them to injure people or destroy property. In those cases they were considered firearms and they paid the penalty. Just be careful and use some common sense.

    Atsion Mansion Restoration

    I was in the Atsion Mansion in 2000 or 2001 and it was in sad shape. A lot of the mantles have been destroyed and the walls have been torn apart. I also believe it could be repaired, it is not a lost cause. Of course that takes money and probably lots of it. The inside of it made me think it...

    History of Enduro racing in the Pines.

    I have always simply referred to them as "whoops." On an ATV you put your butt back as far as you can go, get the front end light, keep the gas on and steady. It is all about keeping an even pace. I was amazed that my ATV can skim right across the top of them. The problem is when you get...

    History of Enduro racing in the Pines.

    I rode in both Atlantic Grand Prix races this year. I'm an ATV guy obviously. Dale Frietas who runs the AGP was the trail boss of a lot of the enduros in the pines. He is trying to give us ATV guys a place to ride and race. Here I am worn out after riding in sugar sand for a couple hours.

    History of Enduro racing in the Pines.

    I know some other members are motorcycle enthusiats on here. I thought this was a very interesting look into an often forgotten (or not talked about) past of the Pine Barrens. I just got into racing hare scramble events and found this motorcycle club in NJ that has been putting on enduros for...

    Hiking Trip Out Of State

    I'll second the Delaware Water Gap. But if you must go out of state I really enjoyed Ricketts Glenn in PA. If you go bring a camera and hike the "Falls Trail." Have fun regardless.

    A good friend.

    Just thought I would pass this along. A friend of mine who grew up with me now teaches in Huntersville, NC. He said he was talking to an art teacher who saves National Geographics because they provide great pics for kids to paint and such. He was looking through them and what do you know, he...

    William S. Haines Passed Away

    Sad to hear. My grandfather was good friends with Bill Haines and I was lucky enough to go out to dinner with them quite a few times. Boy could they tell stories.
