Has anyone attempted to do a stand up paddleboard trip (instead of canoes/kayaks) on any of the familiar routes along the rivers in the Pine Barrens? I know I'd have to remove my fin, but I think it would be a pretty great experience, especially since it's easy to port across shallow...

All, It's been awhile since I posted here. I've been living away from the Pinelands for almost 5 years now. I do get back every once in awhile as family is still there. But now I'm up in Boston (been here for a year) and I have the luxury of having a fairly big garden space that currently has...

Sue, Do you have any paintings left at all? I just recently moved up to Boston and I need some Pine Barrens art to adorn my new abode while I'm away from my true home. Justin

Adding insult to injury, another fire has started apparently about 10 miles from the current one: http://www.courierpostonline.com/article/20081024/NEWS01/810240355&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL

Gabe, The Blue Method was the closer on Friday night and they are from Philly/South Jersey area. They are one of the best bands I've ever seen. Some really heavy funk/blues/James Brown kind of sound. The saxophone player had the crowd gaping during his 10 - 15 minute solo. They are playing...

All, This Friday through Sunday, there is a music festival at Paradise Lake Camprground in Hammonton, NJ off Rte. 206. I've gone to the past 2 and they've been a great time. There are about 20 bands, mostly local to the South Jersey and Philadelphia area. The music ranges from jam...

They are great campsites. There is plenty of remote areas around for exploring and they are both on rivers. I've done the Mullica one tons of times. I think it's like $1 or $2 a person per night since they are "Wilderness Campsites." Check the NJ State Parks website for more information about...

I hear you on the mini Aussie interrogation. My red merle is only 7 months old and everywhere I go, I get a billion questions. I don't mind most of the time, but they're never from hot chicks, usually old women. Except for the ones like this: So where did you get your mutt from? (serious)...

Hi, Wanna buy my 1985 4Runner? Sale pending on Saturday but I'll take any offer over $2800 for a local Pine Barrens enthusiast. Talk about a perfect Pine Barrens trail rig. I just got an '07 Tacoma as well. Double Cab, V6. This thing is amazing. So much power. Old Truck -> 1985 4Runner...

Yeah, I met the guy who lives/researches there first hand. I was mountain biking down the road when two of his dogs got out and starting chasing me, biting at my tire. Peace, Justin

Don't Move to PA Hi, Everyone rips on NJ for having horrible DMV's. After they redid the process about 4 or 5 years ago, I've found it hard pressed to actually wait any longer than 10 - 30 minutes. Here's my recent experience at a PA DMV when getting my PA license yesterday: I walk in...

Hi, Have to speak out as a newer employee of Comcast. The internet for Fios may be faster (for now, 2 years down the road, DOCSIS 3 will be out and will trounce Fios by threefold easily), but if you wish to watch any Philadelphia sports teams, you're going to be out of luck. If that doesn't...

Hello, I have some Yakima rack parts for sale off of my car I just sold. They were only on the car for 3 months so they are brand new. The Q5 Clips fit my 1993 Honda Accord Coupe. $100 for everything or individual prices below: 48" Crossbars = $40 (retail for $57) Q5 Clips = $40 for...

That's where we hang out all the time (or used to when we all still lived in South Jersey). We called the first clearing off the road "The Field." There's also another clearing closer to Goshen we called "The Bizarro Field." Guess we'll have to be careful when we're camping out there in the near...

Gracias, Although I did a count last night, 45 is just in the front midsection. I'm going for about 75 total as a better guesstimate. Tell you what, I've tried Chiggerx and calamine and nail polish. I really don't think anything works except strong will power to not scratch and not...

Just when I thought I could get through one summer in Pine Barrens without a chigger encounter, here I sit with about 40+ bites all over my body. They last on me for about 4 to 8 weeks depending on the amount of scratching I do. The hardest part are the ones on the feet. Like most people, I...

Yes you can. We've done it before a few times. It's a nice alternative to hiking the Yellow Trail. Justin

Hey, I can't believe there aren't more responses to this post. 20 sq. miles have been burned already. Looks like preliminary investigation point to, yes, the testing range -> flare. Still only 30% contained and if these thunderstorms don't put it out, looks like this could be a very big...
