Don't forget to change your smoke detector batteries as well.

Yea. I heard there was a lot. I was asked today by someone who lives out there why so many were needed for such a small fire. I reminded him all fires start out small and there are no hydrants out there so they need to bring their own water;)

Luckily I heard it was minor this time. Heater backfired.

Gust front came through. Waiting for the rain.

Taking the kids to Batsto today. They always have fun there. http://www.batstovillage.org/halloween.htm

When I lived in my townhouse they seemed to bus them in. We would have to just sit on the front porch and has out candy as the line formed. Now we just get a few local kids which are mostly friends of my kids.

You must have missed my original post. We used to get them when I was fighting forest fires out west.

I used smoldering stumps:)

I recently met someone from Illinois who is a mushroom hunter. I've alway heard about chicken and gen if the woods. I never realized they were two different types until he showed me the difference. I sent him some pictures and he identified them for me. Though I still wouldn't attempt to eat them.

I'd try it. It looks like a good thing to keep in your bag as an emergency. Something that will satisfy hunger but doesn't need to stay cold or will get crushed in the bottom of your bag. Fighting forest fires out west I always kept a MRE in the bottom of my day pack. I was thankful to have it...

It was posted last week. Yesterday it made it to social media. After it being a hot topic for a day it was deleted from Craig's list. Logistically it would have never worked.

I alway thought that $200 was a very low estimate to close off the tower. Kind of like when I buy something without my wife's permission it leaves less explaining when it was cheap;)

They must have done a lot more damage then the fence. According to this article it cost $200 to install the whole thing and they did over $1000 in damages. http://pinebarrenstribune.com/dep-officials-restrict-public-access-to-famed-apple-pie-hill-fire-tower-p293-165.htm

It's all about the $$$$$

Great day to be out there. I wanted to head out there today but the kids soccer is really cramping my style.

If the DEP wanted that information all they would have do is tell the FFS to gather up the info for them. The FFS works under the DEP.

Thats the big question. Are the number of violations up because of increased activity or the result of increased patrols? Either way this study is the baseline for future decisions. As thorough as it is, the study by itself can't prove when these problem areas started. Some are likely 20 years...

It It looks very thorough and there is a lot of good info there. It's a good base line for future studies to see what is working and what is not.
