I have to slightly disagree here. The most vocal anti-MAP people are saying that they're okay with not being able to go everywhere. From day #1 NJPineBarrens.com, NJOA, and OTNJ have all said that we realize the forest needs to be protected, that there's areas that need to be closed off. Those...

And I know I've said it before, and I will say it again, but had the whole approach to the MAP have been handled differently, we probably wouldn't be having all of this hatred spewing on social media.

Okay, I went back and looked: You're right, you didn't say that I was okay with FFS people being injured. You were implying that I was implicit in people getting death threats by posting that photo. That discussion is in this thread below, which people should read in the entirety to get the...

The PPA has engaged in campaign of half-truths and outright lies to justify their support for the MAP. The "vernal pool" picture was the beginning. Then the pictures of the cut trees blocking roads -- Rob & friends denied it was them, but then recanted and said that it was them and then said...

It's just very creepy. I wonder why they made it a skull? Maybe people back then had a more macabre sense about death?

Around 9PM tomorrow my hosting provider will be shutting down the server that runs NJPineBarrens.com to apply critical security updates on their underlying hardware. They said that the downtime could take up to 2 hours but will likely take much less. So don't be alarmed if you can not get to...

I've been given the results of an OPRA request done for communications between the Wharton Superintendent and various PPA members done by Jack McGinnis, owner of Nixon's in Tabernacle. This email exchange, talking about NJPineBarrens.com and Pinelands Adventures is pretty interesting. It also...

I visited Old Tennent Church for the first time not too long ago. I found the graveyard one of the most peaceful and serene places I'd ever been. Whoever the stonemason was in the area at the end of the 18th century certainly had a booming business. You can see many, many, many headstones with...

I don't think that there's been any serious talk about anything along those lines, yet.

I hear what you're saying. Commissioner Martin was at a stakeholder's meeting last night and announced the changes. Anthony Mauro, whom I am sure has the commissioner's ear, told him that the public really has a trust problem with the DEP and that it'd be helpful to have this in the form of a...

OH YEAH!!!! Look at how good of a job Officer Rob and the Kool-Aid man do arresting the evil bank robbers... er, off-roaders in this video. This would have probably worked better in the presentation than the sad, crying doe.

This is insanity. It's NEVER been legal to veer off roads into the landscape.

http://www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/2015/10/13/atvs-damage-pinelands-enivornmentalists/73841166/ Spoiler alert: It's incredibly one-sided poorly researched schlock. It's interesting to see that Emile Devito is throwing his hat in the ring now, too.

There won't be any pines left because the developers will win long before a Jeep's tire drives over the last bog asphodel. The pipelines are just the start. The Pinelands commission, the same people who once made the owner of the restaurant at the Forks take down his portable canopies due to...

My guess would be zero.

In case anybody was wondering, this pic is from the opening of Pinelands Adventures. Carlton Montgomery, the executive director of the PPA, is christening the bow of that canoe. Rob Auermuller is in the back wearing the green sweater and tie.

Agreed.

They're popular because people tend to want nice things. :) They're the modern day equivalent, and have been for a while now, of the old boxy Land Rover. Reliable, easy to fix, and parts available anywhere.
