Just came across this very short article from page 18 of the May 28, 1930 issue of the Camden Evening Courier. The author is not credited but I bet you one dollar it was the venerable Henry Charlton Beck, judging by the tone and slight snark. Jersey's Lonely Pine Lands Lure Anglers Seeking Pike...

https://www.opentrailsnj.org/petition/ Hi all - I encourage anybody who is interested in having the DEP scrap this new incarnation of their failed 2015 MAP (motorized access plan) and create an access map based on the 1997 USGS topographic maps as adopted by the Pinelands Commission in 2017...

https://pinebarrenstribune.com/resistance-grows-to-the-new-njdep-plan-to-close-miles-of-rudimentary-ro-p5579-165.htm I think this is a really well written article that gives equal attention to both sides of the issue.

I know I've been the world's worst website owner and the best absentee landlord in history. Today as I was driving I got to thinking about what could be done to breathe some new life into the site - or if that's something we even need. I feel like we're on a solid footing for 2016, but since...

I got down into Rockwood and it was just amazing to see how extensively burnt things were. It was also crazy to see trees that only ended up being burnt on one side. Out of the photos I took yesterday this is the one that I like the most.

Well, it's not the Pine Barrens but I discovered this little slice of heaven only about 15 minutes from my house yesterday. I just got a new wide angle lens for my camera and wanted to give it a try and I caught this after the clouds started to change color and the trees caught a bit of side...

About a decade ago, when I still had a 4WD vehicle, I'd often go to the summit of the Forked River Mountain at night and stare at the stars for an hour or two. My Adobe Lightroom library tells me that the last time I was out there was March of 2012. Anyway, I know that ownership changed or...

It's been a hot minute since I've been out in the woods. Having a kid, going through a divorce, battling depression, and not having a 4WD has made it super hard to get out and when I do it's usually to somewhere like Sandy Hook since it's not far. I had nothing really on the agenda for this...

About 20 years ago I was driving my old Jeep down the road that parallels the old Penn RR right of way through whiting when I stopped to get a pic of the sunrise which was a unreal pink color. I took the pic with my Sony Mavica FD-91 that stored its 0.8 megapixel photos on floppy disk. I always...

Seems like a tornado came through Mullica Hill earlier and did a number on a number of houses.

Hi all - I just wanted to clarify that the "Get Togethers, Events, and Trip Reports" forum is really meant to be about NJ Pine Barrens related topics. Anything outside that scope should be in the General Discussion forum. From now on anything posted in the Get Togethers forum that isn't...

Yesterday I decided to shoot down to Friendship to shoot the sunset since it's one of the few places reasonably away from crowds that I can get to with my car. Every time I go I feel like I need to get a truck to be able to get around the woods again. Friendship-Speedwell road in a sports car...

Hopefully this doesn't interrupt all of the Coronavirus fuelled conspiracy threads happening elsewhere on the site but I came across a video that explains how 17th and 18th century blast furnaces worked. It's from a show in the UK called Time Team, where a team of archaeologists have three days...
