    Jeep Jamboree 2016 – WOW! IT IS FINALLY COMING!!!!!

    I thought there was an issue with them deviating from their route a few years ago and the reason why they have not been back in Wharton since was Rob not approving their permit. The cynic in me wants to say that Rob probably approved the permit this year just to give the pro-MAP people some...

    Jeep Jamboree 2016 – WOW! IT IS FINALLY COMING!!!!!

    I don't think this should be going on in the forest this year (at least.)

    ORV Management In Sensitive Areas Of Wharton

    Guy was, but I wasn't. That's fine because I wouldn't have been able to make it and would have asked Guy to go instead.

    Pinelands Commission to Consider Wharton MAP

    They pay one individual very well. The rest get peanuts.

    Cedar Bridge tavern to be 'enhanced'

    Well, the tavern is already wired for electric, since it was a private residence up until fairly recently. I think they can probably do HVAC fairly unobtrusively. Having the inside climate controlled will preserve the building really well. Look at the Atsion mansion - it's falling apart again...

    Pinelands Commission to Consider Wharton MAP

    Again it's just very sneaky. Rather than partner with all of the other users of the forest to come up with a workable plan the PPA tries to do an end run around the DEP and jam their own plan down the commission's throat. This is the same commission that they frequently fight against for other...

    2 TEENS CRITICALLY INJURED WHEN ATV CRASH IN TABERNACLE, N.J.

    This wouldn't have happened if there was a M.A.P. Won't somebody think of the children??

    It isn't an internet debate until Hitler shows up.

    Robot on a PBX

    My daughter just watched this and after the robot walked out the door she said "I hate this job."

    Big storm

    The tide was the highest I've ever seen at the Atlantic Highlands marina this morning when I boarded the ferry. It was quite an unpleasant ride into New York.

    Concrete Ship

    The Atlantus was another thing that I was fascinated with as a kid that got me hooked on Jersey history. This website might not exist had it not been for that ship.

    Bottle hunting reccomendations

    Legions of archaeologists will disagree with you. It's because so much of our past has been preserved by being buried in the ground that we know as much as we do about what life in the past was like. As for the "no real dollar value" - sure, it might not have a monetary value, but in 300 years...

    Save H2O NJ

    I just noticed something: the Save H2O NJ site (essentially a shill for the PPA) makes no mention of the pipelines, so far as I could see. Why is the PPA fighting so hard to block peoples' access* to the state forest but now has become totally silent on the pipelines? The cynic in me might...

    PBX guys, I need a way into the bog

    Absolutely do not do this.

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    It's a grey area of copyright law. I'm sure they're claiming that their images are derivative works based on the way that they're stitched together and the interface to view them. If the images were originally created for the government then they're in the public domain. The original images...

    This thread is yet another example of why this site is so awesome.

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    I don't pull anything from MSR maps anymore (they're shut down) so besides what Google offers everything is in the public domain as far as I know.
