We paddled the mullica yesterday off Quaker bridge to lockes. Water level quite low, lowest I’ve seen in a few years.

That road was the most crispy we saw out there, scorched earth.

That pine snake if you notice isn’t burnt at all. The water snake was crispy. The pine snake was using a stump that we thought was much deeper. Turns out it was shallow and she was in shed and gravid and very vulnerable. It was sad to see a site that guy and I have gotten many species and sheds...

Think Senecas graduation was the night before and lots of kids party on caranza. Wondering if that was the cause.

Seems almost impossible this will happen. Black run is so beloved by people in Marlton and this would really impact it. Also kettle run isn’t designed for that amount of traffic with Tomlinson mill being a horrible light and Braddock out to 73 not much better. Samost already destroyed a...

Yes tuckerton road at intersection with caranza. Beyond that it was closed. Guessing it burned down to bulldozed road. I think they did burn around Costello but didn’t drive back there. It was burned from Hampton/glossy spung up to where it branches off to tuckerton. The smoke was moving...

Just drove out that way. Tuckerton was a pretty hot burn. Hampton road was back fired and not to bad. The smoke was blowing towards batsto fireline and on that side of 206. Surprised how big it got with minimal winds, green vegetation and somewhat wet forest. But that area hasn’t burned in a...

Was just out they were burning at glossy spung road. I’m guessing it’s glossy spung/hampton to caranza/tuckerton. Then down tuckerton to bulldozed road over to lower forge road and up Hay road/riders switch. If I had to guess that is the containment area.

Yeah saw trucks scrambling around caranza and parked at memorial and Costello school. Seemed to just be developing at 8am.

Yeah guy who told me is an alarmist. I agree I’d be shocked if there wasn’t some large announcement. There is a large amount of pine and corn snakes there as well.

Anyone know if this development is proceeding. A friend I know claims they have begun clearing the land but i can’t find anything indicating that.

Another fake rainstorm in Shamong. Weather guys just can’t figure things out.

Bob, tell me more about the dead box turtles. Were they near or approaching wetlands? When I walked the bass river fire I found a half dozen box turtle shells as the turtles were fleeing to a cedar lowland but didn’t quite make it there. When I explored the Wharton/batsto fire I found dozens of...

Need a lot more than this. First time since I’ve lived in my house in Shamong that peepers didn’t call from my ponds. Very quiet spring from frogs. Although toads and tree frogs started this week which is relieving.

Pine barrens for another generation :)
