    Quarter Mile Revisited

    Thanks Guy, I really like what I see. I don't know what to think. With some transparency everyone here could be working together with the PPA. With these sweeping closures I hope it doesn't hurt the years of work that helped 1/4 mile start to turn around. I have already witnessed tracks going...

    At a half a million dollars a year in salaries and benefits that won't last long with less funding.

    They will be too busy trying to keep the roads closed.

    Quarter Mile Revisited

    I know. I can't explain why. I've been out west with many FFS personnel in NJ with some being in Trenton now. I've spent weeks rehabbing fires that have been out for weeks out west. Here once it's out we walk away. It's kind of like doing a job and not cleaning up after yourself. I can't explain...

    I'm a big suporter of this. It is done out west everywhere. The best part is it can be included in the cost of fighting the fire and wouldn't affect the annual budget for the most part.

    I hate to say it but I don't disagree with you but we can't make it easy for them to just do what they want. If these closures don't work what's next. It's been closed to unregistered quads and dirt bikes for years but I see just as many now as before. Over the years they put more and more...

    I agree. After seeing the pictures from 1/4 mile I think we can all agree some closures are necessary. Cherry Hill Road comes to my mind. On my fathers topos it was only called a jeep trail and dead ended. On historic aerials you can see how much it's changed in the last 20 years. But the...

    I have a proposition. If Guy can get there in his car it should stay open:D

    I too am worried about the future. We are up against a plan that has been in the works for some time now and we have to react. I have forwarded this link to as many people as I could and encourage them to take the few minutes to write their congressmen. We don't have to change the minds of...

    While I agree with you that they have little chance of enforcing such a large sweeping area of closures. They are still closed. This past weekend I came up on a road that was posted and had to alter my route. There were very fresh tracks that simply went around the sign and continued on. Without...

    So far I haven't seen any closures on the Atco side of 206. Except the ponds along Sandy Causeway which were posted in early spring. I only got out Sunday but covered from atco to Batsto. The only thing is there has been extensive road work on Sandy Causeway and as I went past I noticed work was...

    I was going to suggest that. I went back on old threads to compare

    It's funny. You look at your pictures and compare them to Al's blog, he revisited it also with a much different opinion on its condition.

    My wife was just forwarded a link to your front page article about an hour ago on Facebook. She got to read it before me :cool: Word is spreading fast.

    Sandy causeway was repaired. It's almost a two lane road now and the even mowed the shoulders. :argh:

    I went down Batsto Fireline rd past locks bridge to the burnt out bridge and went to come back up the road that comes up behind the cranberry bogs at Amato's house that is closed had to continue on to Batsto Although it was obvious that someone recently went through

    The easiest way to get to some of the places the closures affected is by renting a canoe from them now:rolleyes:
