I see the NWS has an initial briefing available now https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf So far, this doesn't look too bad (famous last words? :D ). Map shows around 33% probability of getting over two inches rain for most of the Pines (less as you go West) Most of the...

Sorry, I don't know anything about it, but have you seen this long thread? https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/closing-west-mill-road.11953/

As Guy noticed awhile ago, the probability legend on these maps is kind of "backwards" from what we might expect. The lighter, yellow areas have the highest probability and the darker red areas are lower probability.

I don't doubt that for a minute. But honestly, it's not an issue that concerns me. I do understand why others are upset by what's happening in Wharton and don't like the way the state has handled that at all however.

My skills are not good enough to understand a lot of things he posts about how gps chips work and the code that supports them! :D

I just had to laugh (while nodding my head in agreement) at this summary by Robert Lipe. And before you dismiss him as some "Garmin Hater", he has quite an industry resume as the author of GPSBabel and GPSVisualizer, he even wrote some of the original code for Garmin Basecamp and is a moderator...

Looking forward to your next trip report! :) Since you seem to be using an iPhone, the simplest way to make the pictures smaller is just mailing them back to yourself. When you do, mail should ask if you want to reduce the size. If you choose the "medium" option, that's usually a pretty good...

It's a problem across multiple Garmin devices. I never understood why they couldn't get power buttons right....

That looks like a good solution and a nice installation job! Will be interesting to see how it holds up. The cover broke off mine long ago. I can still use it by poking the little button on the circuit board with a stick. Guess I could just put a piece of tape over the hole. But I can't even...

Well, I enjoy relaxing woods drives in Peaslee and Belleplain. Haven't noticed any closed roads and rarely even pass another car. But if I do pass another car and somebody is wearing a mask, I couldn't care less. :D But like I said, if you're not happy then find another place where you are...

Thanks for trying, but just switching to thumbnails doesn't help us with disk space. The actual photos are 3024x4032 pixels, about 6mb each for a total of around 40mb in one post. This isn't a big problem in and of itself, but if everyone posted images that size, it would be an issue because Ben...

Just a general FYI, not a problem (although it might have been). Received a message from tech support that "a predictive failure hardware warning was raised" for the boydsmaps server. Immediately my mind flashed back to HAL in the movie 2001, which was where all the trouble began: "…Just a...

Well, I don't know about this kind of thing, or how helpful such studies might be. However, you need to look at the 17 factors in that article which they used to create the list. As I understand, it's not just about how many people are mentally ill, but whether there are resources to help them...

I just caught a few seconds on the news where they were discussing this and assumed that it meant NJ ranked #3 for people with the most mental health issues. But... it's actually the other way around, we're #3 for the least mental health issues. "An overall ranking of 1-13 indicates lower...

If true, there may be a lot more to this story. Wow.... Malika Brittingham, who works for the U.S. Navy, wanted to prompt a police response that she expected to create closer ties with her coworkers, according to an affidavit filed with a criminal complaint. "Brittingham explained that she...
