    The Map & The Commission

    Yea I'm on the same page as you. Show me a number on how much the DEP has spent to remediate these damaged areas. I want to see them fixed but if nothing was done then there was no expense to the taxpayers. The failed MAP plan cost us much more.

    Marking Rivers on public lands

    A month or so ago I was driving along the Batsto River. At a usual spot that I've stopped in the past I noticed relatively new mile markers on the stream. I'm assuming that these have been done by canoe liveries that do this for safety. With that said I find it hard to believe that the best way...

    Have you ever felt unsafe in the pines?

    I was expecting you to say you were at Hidden Lakes. It was sure different back then. I've heard many stories from back then.

    The Map & The Commission

    I think the biggest point taken from that article is that the PPA is still pressuring the DEP to close the roads And now their pressuring the Pinelands Commission as well.

    Have you ever felt unsafe in the pines?

    That's some bad luck. Running into a motorcycle gang and undercover cops in the woods. I don't think I've seen either of them in my travels.:)

    Have you ever felt unsafe in the pines?

    That's true. A month or so ago we were on our way back from Batsto and a small SUV was heading in the opposite direction with out of state tags. I quickly pulled over to let them by. I waved as they started to go by. When they got next to us they rolled down their window and started to stop...

    First Atlantic tropical storm of 2016

    I hope it's not a sign. The Blizzard of 78 hit the first week of February weeks later:eek:

    Advice on waterproof boots?

    Since I was volunteer firefighter for over 10 years I got used to walking in rubber boots. Even driving in those clunky boots doesn't feel wrong. with that said I have several pair of boots that I use in the woods. I prefer my White's Skoke Jumpers over any others. Unfortunately they are about...

    Shop keeper wanted; must love Pine Barrens

    I would love a chance to try and turn a profit there and I think I could. The sad part is, unless someone is independently wealthy it's unlikely that anyone will chance the roof over their head to own and operate it:(

    Shop keeper wanted; must love Pine Barrens

    When my wife wins the Mega Millions (since I don't play) I will buy it and see if I can make money.

    Advice on waterproof boots?

    You might find that your Mucks and Lacrosse will feel very similar. It's difficult to compare rubber boots to a comfortable pair of hiking boots. Walking a long distance in rubber boots takes a little getting used but walking a long distance with wet feet, I think, is even harder.

    Lacey ORV Crackdown !

    I saw this last week too. Just didn't get a chance to post it. There is a real need for legal areas for people to ride their ATV's though.

    Interactive Pinelands Map

    I could be wrong but if he is clearing it for agricultural use only I don't think he needs approvals unless it envolved wetlands. :( Hopefully it wasn't done for tax purposes only.

    West Mill Firebreak

    I haven't been back there since September. It was dry then for the most part only couple of holes but had relatively decent go arounds. If it's flooded that bad I'd report it. Especially since the water is low right now. I believe that is section C-6 in the forest fire service. Contacting the...

    Where is this?

    At the very least Sandy Causeway will likely be a mess this spring.
