Like seeing you branch out to some new areas. The southern barrens or barren like doesn’t get enough attention.

Well it’s not a great idea when species emerge from hibernation in slow state are sitting at surface and a fire rolls through. Box turtles are sitting usually in a small pile of leaves or needles right now but up from small burrows or forms. They will burn easily as they aren’t at water sources...

Is there currently a fire? It smells awfully Smokey in Shamong. Seems late for control burn unless they are trying to kill emerging wildlife like dopes!

Very helpful Boyd! I guess those strippings are cleared cut of cedars or are they rows of cedars cut. It’s hard to tell overall. He really has cut down a good portion on that swamp.

Guy happened to come across this post for various reasons. Any idea on those cedar clearings what they became? Is it just cedars regenerating or are those being turned into agriculture fields/bogs? I can’t tell from the aerials. Would guess it’s just regenerating cedars, or would at least hope.

Wow that is officially the most flooded I’ve seen it there. I drove sandy causeway yesterday. Woods looked totally different and there was tons of flooding. Was able to make it from Atsion to Chew but I’ve never seen it like that. More rain on the way this week!

Yeah ordinarily I would automatically assume joint base. But it was at like 10pm on a day it rained 3-4inches with winds blowing 20mph. Given that I assumed no way it was the base. Actually thought it was maybe drops in air pressure since temp went down fast. Great info, thanks.

Yes turns out it was the joint base, crazy how loud it was this time.

Anyone else hearing odd thunder sounds that almost feel like small tremors in Shamong area? Been going on for last 1.5 hours. Sounds like a bombing range. Very odd…

I remember 2010 and there was water flooded all along caranza road by the tracks. I had never it seen it like that before. I was down in cape may last week and it was the most flooded I’ve seen at a few spots in a very long time. Should be a good year for amphibian populations, turtles.

This is fantastic news, keep filling up the wetlands. With that said exploring the pines on my electric bike or wrangler may be a bit restricted this year.

Yeah I mean smell some smoke but nothing else. May take a ride now and see. The post seemed almost like a repeat of last year.

Huh I’m confused, this is a new wildfire?

I’m now satisfied with the amount of precip so I changed the title of the thread :).

Agree probably an honest mistake.
