I'm curious, what was the antibiotic? It's fine if you'd rather not say.

I'm betting nearly 100% of the people on this forum are wondering what set you off.

Jim, what makes you think that 100% of the trees are dead? That almost never happens with pitch pine. And the state should not be tasked with managing the entire pines with prescribed burn. I think we can live with letting a good portion of it go wild.

Sad to see the fate of those snakes.

That looks like Barry in those videos you posted. He was a member here many years ago. He moved out of state with his family is what I understand.

PBX had a trip named "The Woods of Mine Spung". It was in 2015. u

Going by memory, a spung is a circular depression in the landscape formed by cold and fast glacial winds...a blow out if you will, of the loose soil. This was thousands of years ago, when the glacier terminal moraine was parked in North Jersey.

Do any of you know if they closed it yet? I need to travel that way today.

The Toms River, as you likely know, drains a huge area. I just cannot imagine you running into serious trouble. If you are healthy and under 60, I say go for it, but with a Buddy. Bring your cell with an aerial map on it that tells where you are. If you have an issue, drag the canoe to the...

Boyd, I will use that USGS 24K topo. One thing I'd like to know, can I reliably call out the year this topo depicts (i.e, 1995 topo map), and if so, is it uniform throughout south Jersey?

Brian Wilson passed. God Bless, gave us great music.

That reminds me. A couple weeks ago I pulled into Costco in Manahawkin and gave my Visa card (they don't take MC). The card bounced cause the card company is skittish, thought it was a fraud. I offerred cash, they said ok reluctantly (took my $40 cash), because he had to run into his little...
