If anybody is interested in going, let me know. Pretty sure I will be there.

Actually it frustrates me when nobody demands accountability by people who we trust to take care of our forest. This goes far beyond the NJTLC.

Very nice!

Okay, so look - I understand that nothing here is new. These roads were closed off before. Fine. FACT - The rangers have had their funding sources depleted. QUESTION - What is being done to remedy this? Why are the environmental groups not pressing Trenton to get more funding for park police...

Maybe it's because us folks crying behind our keyboards realize that posting signs is not going to do anything, and are calling folks out for thinking that they will. The only real solution is enforcement, and nobody is giving any good explanations on why there aren't (and haven't been) rangers...

Yes, it's a feral colony. Someone - not sure if it's the same person now - is feeding them.

No, they're not staying out of trouble. They're driving on land that is closed to motorized vehicles. Some of them are creating enormous damage to the environment. The State Park Police doesn't have to worry about catching murderers and drug dealers. They're here to enforce the laws governing...

They are, as long as people expect them to be. Ennui is dangerous. The average New Jersey resident wouldn't give a crap about what goes on in Wharton, let alone be able to find Wharton on a map. Right now, the only people complaining are the few of us on this website. So why should anybody feel...

There is no way that Wharton would ever be closed to motorized vehicles. Firstly, there are paved roads that go through Wharton. Secondly, there are dirt roads such as Quaker Bridge Rd. that are legitimate "roads" like any other out there. To block off access would mean that you'd have to...

I deleted them. Not mad at anybody but yeah, not the impression I want people to get from here. Anyway, Bob, I think you're right. However I do think that there needs to be more transparency, and (personally) if folks don't feel comfortable with being asked to post signs then don't, because...

Who appoints the Superintendents and who are the accountable to? Is there any reason that they would really care what the public has to say?

Those of you who were concerned about the size of the area that they were closing should have gotten in your trucks and left, and let the rangers put up the signs themselves. But, by following along and nailing signs up your actions state that you agree with the closures. Remember, this is...

All one has to do is read their forums and see where this group is going. There are posts where people say that they're concerned about the "anti-access" crowd, and you have folks like Russ saying that it's no ones intent to close down trails, and then you see a get-together where folks are...

As I have said for years, this is the beginning of the end of motorized access to the Pine Barrens. It's finally happening. Anybody who thinks this is the end is naive. If you were wondering who's involved in this: http://njtlc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=projects&action=display&thread=171

The village proper is on the other side of 206, across from the lake. There's the Atsion Mansion and store, which is now the ranger station. Behind the mansion there's a concrete ruin which was a Wharton era barn, and another ruined barn/storage building that I am going to assume post dates the...

There's a few volumes in that list that I will probably pick up.

The McCambridge thread was deleted.

I just quoted it, I didn't necessarily endorse it.
