I am fascinated with "hit and miss" engines. I drag my wife kicking and screaming through the working display at the Batsto Country Living festival every year.

The proud parents standing guard.

Me and a buddy did our first groundhog hunt for the season yesterday. (No groundhogs were harmed.) The good news was that there was a pair of nesting Bald Eagles on one of my favorite pieces. The owner of the property advised us ahead of time about the Eagles so I brought my Phone Skope gear...

Okay, group hug everybody ! Except you Al. :D Seriously, we should all be proud that we conducted a lively, civil discussion that went (6) pages in less than 72 hours without a sleigh ride down into the Slag Heap ! Public access is obviously one of the most polarizing issues that comes across...

If you are referring to me, that is not accurate. I started the thread with information that is currently posted on the home page of the South Jersey Enduro Riders website. That Information indicates that it was the superintendent of Wharton State Forest’s decision.

Hey ! How ‘bout them Phillies ? :) I am not a sports fan, I just thought I’d offer up a little diversion since I started this little shit storm. :D

Well, Mr. Horner, I guess that's a "No" answer as to whether or not your were around long before there were enduros. By the way, the "ecology" wasn't being destroyed in the photo I posted. It was merely a picture of a very tough young man on a Harley-Davidson crossing a stream in the middle of...

I started riding in the Pines in 1976 when I bought a brand new Yamaha DT-400. A lot of 2-stroke power on tap but the suspension was about as plush as a shopping cart. I was tagged and legal and rode almost every weekend from my house in Gibbsbsoro down to Quaker Bridge Road and then into the...

Then you must be well into your 90's since the first Sandy Lane was run in 1934. How old were you then ? This my late friend Bill Schemel in the mid-1940's crossing the Sleeper Branch behind Batsto. This was a sanctioned enduro event and you can see his time card on the handlebars. Have you...

The roads are always good enough for an Enduro Boyd, the ruggedness and challenge is part of the sport. The clubs are not allowed to route through sensitive areas and are not allowed to blaze new trails for an event. If the roads are so impassable, then someone (like Auermuller for instance)...

As in: Guess who cancelled the Curly Fern Enduro that was to be held yesterday ? Why Robert Auermuller of course ! The man behind the MAP and secretive road closure fame. https://sjer.org/index.html Sad. This is a race that has been part of the Pine Barrens landscape since 1966. I am glad...

Our local funeral director Leroy Wooster was given recognition for honoring one of our Nation's Vietnam Veterans who had passed away in Atco, alone and without family. The funeral drew over 1,000 people who came to honor the Veteran and his service to our country. I know Leroy personally and he...

The yoga picture in the article could be captioned.. "Please God, no more chiggers !"

I am very, very glad to see it stayed under the State Forest jurisdiction.

Beautiful. Even the 150's had solid axles front and back back then. Dana 44 in the front and the bulletproof Ford 9" rear diff. The only difference was the rear axles in the 150's weren't full floaters like the 250's and 350's. The rear diffs were full floater Dana 60's in the 250's and 350's...

You are good sir ! It was an early 60's Falcon Ranchero. Looked mint from my seat inside Allen's. There was another car to the left and I cannot remember what it was other than a 70's something. I was too fixated on theF-250. :) The place is or was called Unique Motors. I find Google hits for...

I got a little teary-eyed Saturday night in New Gretna. I was eating dinner at Allen's Clam Bar and across the street there is an old service garage with a few classic vehicles out front. Lo and behold, the best pickup ever made in the history of this universe was staring at me while I was...

Old Jersey Girl, Digiscoping is using a spotting scope, or even binoculars, with your cell phone mounted to the eyepiece to obtain long distance photos and videos. There are several manufacturers for the mounting bracket apparatus with Phoneskope probably being the most popular. I have this...

Early this morning I noticed there were no birds at the feeder. Very unusual this time of year. I looked out back and I saw why. A big Red-tailed Hawk was perched in an oak eyeballing the area. I was able to put my spotter and tripod together and digiscoped these with my phone. A beautiful and...

They were used often in industrial applications German. I have seen them used in large trash pumps, agricultural irrigation pumps and large generators too. They were simple and durable. I sold my '87 F350 to a landscaper in 1997 with 170,000 on the odo and he ran it 5 more years. He later sold...
