    Bald Eagle rescue yesterday

    Yes, I forgot to add at the bottom of the post that I'm glad they saved that eagle. I just thought that ninemileskid was trying to say interference in general.

    Bald Eagle rescue yesterday

    I'm hip to where you are coming from (sort of). It may be that you just didn't express your thoughts as clearly as you could. I'm one of the few people I know that is suspicious regarding the untold thousands of animals tagged, collared, banded, captured and weighed, have blood drawn, radio...

    I have a Segen backpack I bought from an itinerant salesman going through Browns Mills in in 1978(?). They are highly coveted by some. I know I'll get back more than I paid for it. http://www.anarchomountaineers.org/equipment/walk/back-pack.php

    Illegal Dumping Pilot Program

    Invasive everything Al. People fertilize their lawns, they dump household chemicals in the yard, some may even change their oil over a bed of leaves. Then there's paper and plastic and cigarette butts. Not a good thing to do. Plus, it introduces invasive plants into the pines as they also have...

    So sad.

    I used to open up the Atlantic City Press online sometimes to see what is going on down that way. It always struck me that they were one of the very first to ask you to subscribe, or they'd cut you off. It got to be so annoying that I stopped going there. Today, I see they must be in dire...

    Speedwell

    Jerseyman, what I'm saying is that Veronica could have arrived simultaneously with the very first arrivals. It could have been a seed caught in a wagon wheel, or caught in the hoof of a mule, or some such, and just happened to take to the location. If you are saying that it is impossible...

    Speedwell

    Although likely not native to the pines, Veronica could easily have been at Speedwell early on since it is weedy, and likes disturbed/cultivated ground. It came in with the people.

    Fierodoug's Pictures

    Hmmm. Looking at the photos, it does not look that dangerous. Then again, he may not be showing all the photos?

    Speedwell

    I read it a long time ago in one of the older pines books. Even if not true, it's fanciful!

    Pine Barrens community, nonprofit at odds over use of land

    Reading the article gave me a good impression of his motives. He and his buddies hate the NJCF and want freedom to do what they want on the preserve. What is particularly galling to me is that his township wants to assess fines on NJCF for "not eliminating "blighting conditions" and the...

    I don't claim to be a piney, I never did. A piney is hard to define. But I've lived here long enough to call the pines my home base and to speak about them. I lived in Hampton Lakes from 1961 to 1963. I lived in Presidential Lakes or Browns Mills from 1966 to 1980, in Lakehurst from 1981 until...

    Obscure settlement deep in Bass River S.F.

    True, it is large, but we were using a topo to mark the cabin sites, and they show up as a small square, and I think it would have been one of these 3 below. I can't find my route sheet to confirm.

    Obscure settlement deep in Bass River S.F.

    Yes, Guy is your man to give you detail on that. Funny thing is, 15 years ago this month, I did one of my first PBX trips in that area, and although we knew about those structures, we got screwed up and missed them twice! That is really lovely, wild country, as you can see by your ramble. For...

    Pine Barrens community, nonprofit at odds over use of land

    You are correct regarding my disapproval of the Forest Service's actions in digging and bulldozing new fire trails and roads. Unfortunately, that is just personal opinion, I have no authority. But you are incorrect if you think I don't appreciate any actions they take during a fire to protect...

    Well then, the good Mayor of Chatsworth should certainly join that Enduro Club that has access year round to the Lee Brothers and the Haines property. He should bring along any others that he knows that are upset with the NJCF access. After all, they own a hell of a lot of property close to...
