    Where is the OLDEST habited area of the Pinelands?

    That Shell mound south of Tuckerton is supposedly 1500 years old. It's more shore than Pine Barrens, but close.

    Hiking Trails, Wheelchairs, Bicycles and the ADA

    I was just at Franklin Parker Preserve, on the bike-permitted green trails. I didn't know the Batona crossed into the Preserve. It's where I ride when Black Run Preserve and Batsto get too crowded.

    I signed and wrote my representatives, one of whom had their office CALL me. They are hearing us loud and clear.

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    What a joke. ORVs can escape down a hiking or mountain biking single track that a Tahoe can't follow. You can put up pylons but they'll be able to go off-road and avoid them. You are not enforcing anything against them, you are only stopping responsible riders and drivers. Which is your plan...

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    This is why I stopped supporting the Pinelands Preservation Alliance and Pinelands Adventures. I'm not gonna pay to remove my own rights.

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    It's like a lot of politics, they don't have public support so they hide what they are trying to do and sow outrage about "redneck off roaders destroying critical habitat" instead of "closing over half the roads to legal responsible use"

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    So they don't update a park map in 60 years but we're supposed to think it's accurate?

    Are E-bikes motorized vehicles?

    E-bikes are motor vehicles, but the riders act like they aren't. There are multiple classes and some don't go over ~20mph so are more equivalent to a regular bicycle; others have more power and are more akin to a moped. E-bike riders ignore the "No e-bikes, no pedal assist" signs at Black Run...

    Correlation between bigfoot sightings and black bears?

    It's the only solution that makes sense, if you do not believe in the paranormal. Which I don't.

    Forked River Mountain Hike

    What Bob said. I got pulled out of a washout a year ago by my Outback's tow hook, and the tow truck driver said it was the only time he'd gotten someone out of mud without it breaking. Now I've got a tow hitch and soft shackles if I need it again. (Felt good to see a 4wd Chevy Colorado need a...

    Halloween at Maurice River Bluffs Preserve

    I took my mountain bike here and rode the bike trails, and had a great time. Except when I nearly plowed into 3 people and their dog who were climbing a downhill section of the bikes-only trail. I'm glad no one was hurt.
