SPYPOINT have a nice rechargeable option which I have on my cameras. They actually last a long time in the field without needing to recharge. Again the reception will be an issue. Maybe I’ll try mine out in pines again and see.

I have SPYPOINT cellular cameras. They send still photos when the camera detects to my cell phone. The photos aren’t great and work well to just identify the type of animal. There is likely no chance they get reception to send a photo to a cell phone. I’ve tried mine at corn and pine dens and I...

Was down in cape may yesterday at some spots and there was actually a lot of water at ponds. I went in expecting to see very low levels and was surprised it was the opposite. They must have gotten far more from some of the winter snows then we did up here in burlco. Think Boyd mentioned this and...

Wasn’t too much lightning in area. Was off the cut but within the woods and not on a trail or road, at least I don’t think. Maybe more fireworks??

Looks like the source of the fire was 50 yards or so off the powerline cut. At least that is what they had flagged off in a square.

Yes basically, in much of the area I saw it just looked like a spring controlled burn. Around the raritan/old atsion area was cooked pretty good. But for most part I didn’t see signs of an extremely hot burn.

I went in there yesterday. Just like many of these fires the listed acreage is backfire. Everything for most part I saw was backfire. I got to the road that connects old atsion to raritan and to west it was burnt good. I had to turn around as raritan was blocked by forest fire service (who...

It’s just so dry, last rain helped but heading in there wasn’t much water anywhere. I think we are in for another very active fire year unless we get rain dumped on us.

1750 acres now, 50% contained.

Just went for a quick drive. Back fire after plastic bridge along sandy causeway. Back fired along old Jackson starting by the road that goes the goshen pond campground. Was in my Honda so didn’t look further.

Guessing containment and size of fire will be bound by old atsion to raritan up the sandy causeway down atsion to along old Jackson road. Forms a nice rectangle. Unless it jumped raritan then it could get a bit bigger.

Very windy out right now in Shamong. That fire will spread pretty quick but it has burned last year in some of that area.

This to me is a few loud voices with a lot of power. I’m pretty confident this isn’t a large group of people who pushed this through.

This is just beyond messed up. The people that make these decisions are just so out of touch with things. If people can’t access area that taxpayers pay for then the whole area will be forgotten. I love the barrens and it’s the only thing that keeps me living in nj. After this if I can’t enjoy...

Now that road goes nowhere but it’s still annoying to see and concerning there will be a lot more.
