    Andrews Road and Government Site?

    I think that's just the bombing range. I was just there about a week or two ago. I went up old Martha Road. Suddenly "no trespassing" signs appeared. I just kept going, figuring I'd get to either Andrews Road or Allen Road. I got to Andrews I believe. I drove to the right and found a permanent...

    How many 4 wheelers/off roaders do we have here?

    How many 4 wheelers/off roaders I don't go four-wheeling for the sake of four-wheeling. I do it to explore the Pine Barrens, looking for ghost towns and evidence of past human habitation, as well as interesting plants and trees. My 4X4 is an `87 Ford F-150 with 31X10.50 R15 tires (2 sizes...

    About to let go....

    Bob, Sounds great. All members are always invited. We just went on an outing Saturday. The next one isn't planned yet. But when it is, it will be announced well in advance. Normally I post it on our message board as a special announcement, meaning it automatically gets sent to all members at the...

    About to let go....

    So Bob. When you are you going to join us on one of our outings? One time you said you'd like to join us if you were notified of when they would be. I've been announcing them well in advance. Hope to see you sometime. :) Barry founder and owner- Ghost Towns of Southern NJ on Yahoo...

    Has anyone heard of the Blue Hole?

    Matthew, I'm very familiar with midnightsociety.com and with Weird NJ. I've got every issue except the rare ones. I live off of Route 30 just outside Egg Harbor and the Blue Hole is not too far from me, but believe it or not I have not been there yet. That's one place I want to get to in the...

    NJDEP Bans Off-Road vehicles from public land

    Jeff, You said: "It's analogous to gun control. The bad guys won't respect the law and decent, law abiding citizens get penalized when you go after the actual thing or activity rather than holding people who do wrong personally accountable. Guns don't kill; people do. I can understand...

    NJDEP Bans Off-Road vehicles from public land

    Re: "dual-sport" motorcycle. Bob, It sounds to me as if a dual-sport motorcycle is the same thing as what we called an "enduro" 20-25 years ago. It has lights, turnsignals, and is registered for highway use. I figured those things would come under the same heading as cars and trucks, as you say...

    Newspaper article

    No one ever mentioned doing simple fire prevention. How many people toss cigarette butts out of the window of their cars? How about illegal campfires, or even legal ones that weren't put out properly? It seems to me a lot of fires start these ways. And of course arson- that's another cause of...

    How old can some of our plants get??

    I don't know who would know this. I've never seen anything in the field guides about how long some plants and bushes live. But I'm curious. BobM and I were at the Gloucester Furnace area walking around and we saw these large bushes. They aren't terribly tall, maybe 6 feet, but they have the...

    A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME....................

    Yeah and I wonder what it cost us taxpayers for the state to re-name a state forest?? How dumb is that? This is going to cause so much confusion too. I don't think any place like that should be named after a person, unless maybe that person personally helped created that place, or helped save it...

    A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME....................

    I don't have an answer, since I'm originally a North Jersey-ite (pre-1985). I do know that there is a tiny cemetery in the East Picnic area there. It's known as the Catholic Cemetery. I've got some pictures of it. I think there are 2 tombstones left in it. Barry
