Dirt bikes!

When there are the work days, you see them here in force, loading trash, working on bridges, etc... many more of them than the hikers or hunters!

Jeff, that is a blanket statement that requires definition and explanation, otherwise it seems to suggest that hikers and hunters do not clean the woods. Do you mean "work days" solely created by the off-road community? If so, then naturally it is they who will show up.

Enduros

I've never been in any of the Pine Barren runs, although I do own an enduro. I myself am not that into it because it seems a little to chaotic for me, but everyone I've ever met riding in the pines has been nice and social. It's true it does only take a few to ruin it for the rest, but al least a good percentage of the riders are responsible. I do however think that some riders really do fly though the pines and it's inevitable that more and more people will get hurt in the future. A huge fear of mine is running into horses and them freaking out. I usually pull to the side and cut the engine to let them pass, but there have been a few close calls. I could see that ending badly for a group of bikes meeting a group of horses on a tight curve. But still, I'm glad we can ride in the last of the open spaces and wild places in this ever so congested state.

Quite a few years ago 2 of us.both Enduro Riders were on the road the goes from Quaker Bridge to Batsto[north side.]It was late afternoon,with a threat of thunderstorms.We passed Good Water Run.Between there and Quaker Bridge was a deep stretch of Sugar Sand.Half way through that section was a Station Wagon sunk to its chassis.I believe they were from Ohio.Saw the road on the map and away they went.The guy and his wife and 2 children were pretty frantic.Been stuck for a few hours.Had not heard or seen anyone.Well,my buddy Doc and I went to work.We pryed up both bumpers with the aid of old pine trees.Kept putting what ever we could find under the tires till we got the vehicle out of the sand.Then lined the two tracker with pine limbs a long ways down the road.Told the guy to get in,we would give him a push and DONT STOP till you hit high ground.Well,sir he did what he was told and he was now on high ground.We would not accept any money.Said,a Thank You was good enough.I khew there were no more bad spots to Batsto and was sure they would make it.Just wated you Piney's to know some stuff behind the scenes

If your postings are supposed to have ANY degree of credibility, at least put in some time to check facts before making such a blanket condemnation.

DITTO!
By the way, how can you detect a group connection by passing someone in the woods who happens to be cleaning up? Do they have signs on their backs? Most of this forums readers cleanup without group involvement. Many others participate in other group cleanups, most notably the annual October cleanup

You REALLY, REALLY, REALLY need to take off the blinders with a quote like that. All you need to do is look at other postings on this forum to see what an active part many groups play in cleaning up the Pines. My local Audubon Society was THE moving force to get NJ's Adopt a Highway program started.
