Jenny, John McPhee's book is very famous here, as are those of Father Beck (Henry Charlton Beck). Much of the Pine Barrens is just the way it was 50 or 100 years ago, but sadly in some areas they have put up hundreds or even thousands of McMansions. On that map that Ed linked to, I live just north or northwest of the yellow dot next to the words Egg Harbor City. So I'm pretty much in the middle of it, though closer to the south end of it. It's an amazing place. Barry P.S.- Thanks to Ed for putting up those links.

I have been following Barry's posts. It is a place that I am so fascinated by, but haven't been. There's a great book about some of the cultural aspects by John McPhee ( I think it's called "Pine Barrens".) Can't wait to go.
