Only 5" in diameter- I'm a glutton for punishment, but I have used a 10" Corona folding saw on tries/large limbs of this diameter and a little larger in the WMA areas and out in Briz many times.

Conditions have been spectacular. Heads up- hunting season has begun. Ran into a guy with a bow on the other side of the Parkway from the camping area. Thought hunting did not start until October.

This is the second time in this thread that you have either been flat out incorrect or basing your feelings on incorrect assumptions. People inherit homes from retired parents, thus there is no new building. Also, there are things called existing homes that are purchased and improved with the...

I do hope you pointed out that there is a very dangerous problem out in Briz with chiggers and ticks that will pose a great danger to anyone who lives out there?

This is true. I am blessed to have a second home in Sedona, Arizona where the mountain bike riding and hiking is fabulous. This is one area where the trails will be preserved because much of Sedona is surrounded by National Forest. That's of course as long as the government does not sell off...

I will go out there with my tape measure and slide rule this weekend and come back with some accurate calculations. ;)

It was approved last night with lots of wailing and gnashing teeth. "Our hands are tied" is correct. Mayor's comments are quite accurate. This is a scam for builders. They have gamed the system, and the residents and open space lose the game. Mayor thinks nothing will happen at Briz for 8...

Not familiar with the Big Mick. Here's a link to opposition: https://www.change.org/p/wall-township-supervisor-stop-the-proposed-building-plans-for-1875-hwy-34-in-wall-twp-nj And Google Maps...

There are other choices in Wall, and they were detailed in an article that I may have linked (maybe not). The old Peddler's Village site on the Manasquan Traffic Circle. Developers have tried to develop that site many times, and it is severely blighted, but the rich NIMBYs in Apple Ridge scream...

Do you get many riders for this? I'm not a beginner rider (been riding for 11 years), but perhaps I may find some help on one of these rides? I posted this in the trail maps thread but that thread does not see much action. Here's the post: Have some naive questions. Have spent most of my...

That's a false narrative as it applies to this specific situation. I am apolitical and call balls and strikes evenly, but it seems some want to blame everything on one person/party. That's their/your choice. The fact of the matter is that this is being driven by the horrific NJ State Mt...

That second bridge from the road is currently an engineering feat of a mini suspension bridge. Had been a while since I ventured down the River Trail, somehow I wound up on the Black trail, which was quite challenging but fun.

Will try to make this for once. That bend on the River Trail going into the woods from Hospital Road is washed out really bad, and just over the first wooden bridge, the trail is caving into the Manasquan River. Not sure anything can be done short of building a bulkhead. I can see about...

Have some naive questions. Have spent most of my time in last several years riding out in Briz. Trying to reacquaint with the Allaire trail system on Hospital Road on Strava has been confusing. A couple of questions. 1. Is Black on Strava also Tiger Woods? 2. Is there a simple way to follow...

I don't remember the name of the trail, but there is an old abandoned swingset, playground and basketball court out in the woods. Was riding at dusk one evening, and stopped for drink of water and rest out by the swingset. It was not wind. One of the broken swings started moving.. . . . . I...
