    "Classic" NJPineBarrens.com Articles

    Also, for those of you interested, the look of the site in 2006 is (in my opinion) one of the better designs I came up with for the site. That's when the random header image first showed up. You can (kinda) see it in the Internet Archive - some of the images don't show up, but here's what it...

    Even though I can't in good conscious republish these on the front page as Jeff is no longer a member here, you might find these articles interesting: Tracks through the Wilderness New Jersey and Cranberries: Perfect Together

    "Classic" NJPineBarrens.com Articles

    Folks: As you probably know, this site has been redesigned at least 5 times. Each time that happens I go through a process where I decide if I want to get rid of some old articles or (more likely) I forget to retype them in the new software. For whatever reason old articles sometimes go...

    Upper reaches of the Webbs Mill Branch

    That's where the cedars and maples live. The pines and oaks like the higher, drier ground.

    Garvey races are back

    I have a friend who does these races. Not sure if he's still racing anymore, though.

    The NEW Beer Thread

    Miller Lite and the cheap beers are okay as long as you understand what you're drinking. It's a crappy, cheap beer. Nothing wrong with that, it does exactly what it's advertised to. I personally love Miller High Life and Pabst Blue Ribbon and will say that they make a really great lazy summer...

    Bog Iron: Can You Dig it, or What is the Marl of the Story?

    So, how does one know that you're in an ore bed? Or how can one tell from satellite imagery?

    The NEW Beer Thread

    Lagunitas Maximus IPA is epic.

    The NEW Beer Thread

    Forget ORV's, the PPA, or pig farms in Medford. If there's one thing we can all (except for Guy) agree on, it's beer. I was just on the GQ website and they had a slideshow of 50 recommended beers. Some of them I've had, some of them I haven't. But here it is...

    I love driving in NYC. The secret is to have no fear.

    Charles Read: Part 4 – Exile

    He was Anglican, but had very strong Quaker leanings. His wife attended meetings with the Friends in Evesham, yet wasn't a Quaker. Interestingly enough, the son, Charles Junior was a colonel in the New Jersey militia. However he took advantage of an offer by the British to lay down his arms in...

    Charles Read: Part 4 – Exile

    This rounds out the series on Charles Read. I could have probably written ten more articles about him - he was quite the Renaissance man. Theres a whole other side to him - his fascination with nature and agriculture - that I did not even touch upon. If anybody is interested in reading further...

    Hello - journalist looking for your craziest (or just best) Pine Barrens stories here!

    Different strokes for different folks. I can see how someone coming from Philly could call the Pines desolate. You live in Tabernacle, you're used to having trees for friends. :)

    Buzby's is up for sale.....

    It could sell for anything and be assessed for whatever. Can't believe Chatsworth is so expensive!

    Buzby's is up for sale.....

    $5500 in taxes? Ugh. I'd love to rent the living space though!
