Beautiful photos! I hope things get better for you. Black Skimmers!

Yup, sadly I agree. Not sure when/how so many people with historical ties to the Pine Barrens were pushed aside, but in the last decade a lot of people with big opinions about the Pine Barrens and loud voices showed up and they sure seemed to come out of nowhere. It's kind of ironic that...

Not looking good here in Mercer County, lots of localized flooding and I'm thinking that the Delaware might go over flood stage. I think there's going to be some damage to homes, and like Smokejumper said the wind is howling here too. The ground is already saturated from all of the rain we had...

That's a sweet largemouth!

Not sure what people are fishing for in those particular spots either, but in the Lower Mullica I've personally caught white perch, yellow perch, brown bullhead, and beautiful white catfish (Ameiurus catus). Just a note for fishermen, white catfish are common in brackish areas and are often...

Forgive my soapbox rant here. I'm somewhat experienced with foraging edible plants, and also teach a toxicology class and take people on walks to identify poisonous plants and differentiate them in the field from their edible look alikes. Over and over again I see people who are foraging post...

I agree, great folks on here

I could not have said it better myself. I really like the community here and wouldn't want to see changes. Even if we do get a number of new members, I'd like to keep the culture here as it is. I wouldn't want to see upvote or downvote buttons (I'll elaborate more if you want), and frankly, if...

I woke up to an unexpected 0.5" of rain this morning in my rain gauge. Apparently we had a nice storm overnight. I agree with this_is_nascar, looks like tomorrow's a soaker.

I've been following it. It's terrible. My sincerest wishes for the best for those people. I hope their clean up and recovery is fast and complete.

That's so interesting that you say that, Bob. Yesterday I put my sunglasses on and stepped outside and so much condensation formed on my glasses that they nearly started dripping, and I thought to myself "that hasn't happened since I lived in Florida" (I used to live in Orlando).

Looks like lots of rain coming tomorrow, at least that's the prediction. Time will tell!

Really beautiful spot Guy. That stand of Sarracenia is really nice.

You got some astronomy in there too! :D Seriously, love this post, and we need more levity like this from time to time! Keep it coming!

Boyd your maps are an amazing resource once again. Thank you! Anyone familiar with the sugar sand situation there? Is there awareness of anything an AWD (RAV 4) can't handle as far as sand or holes?

Oooh now I just need a map of the roads/trails!

I'm pretty darn careful about ticks, for both my kids and myself. If I'm not going off trail: light colored clothing, long pants, long socks, hiking boots. All treated with permethrin. Pants tucked into socks, shirt tucked into pants. If there is any chance I'm going off trail or brushing...

4 inches in Hamilton, Mercer County (as per rain gauge)

Awesome! I wondered if they'd be out after that downpour, they say usually it's a deluge that stimulates them.

Two questions I have: how long does the tick need to be attached to transmit alpha-gal? Also, can larval stage lone star ticks transmit it? With deer ticks, they say that the tick has to pick Lyme up from a host (they're not born with it), and the tick has to be attached long enough to...
