    The Other Side of NJ

    Hi Sue!! They are skimmers and are a lot of fun to watch. They get up and fly like a murmuration when in large groups like this. They literally skim the surface with their lower mandible in the water, picking up fish, bugs, etc.

    The Other Side of NJ

    Thanks guys. Bob, we are always amazed by the birds every time we go to Forsythe. Every time there is something different. We saw pelicans a few weeks ago!!! (Batteries died in the camera and I did not get the shot lol. Tim, Grassy Sound is one of my favorite spots (all sides of it) The...

    The Other Side of NJ

    Work (and life) has been crazy busy and I have not had much time for riding in the pines. I am very thankful to have some beautiful scenery near me to take away the pain

    13,000 people watched a chair fall in New Jersey

    No lie there. There was a fire the other day at a local store and as we were walking up to the scene, I saw this "kid" putting on his turn out gear and I said to my husband, "How cute, he must be a cadet or junior"..as he walked past us and went in to fight the fire. I swear he looked to be...

    13,000 people watched a chair fall in New Jersey

    I actually joined this group and was appalled to see the amount of people that had no problem trespassing on private property to get a closeup with the "chair". Or had no problem stopping traffic while they illegally parked and crossed the highway. Crazy stuff!

    What new things would you like to see here?

    This site is pretty darn good without any changes!!! I love stopping in when I am looking for info. Most of the time I do not need to ask a question because all the info is already here! I do miss the image gallery and would love to see some form of that return if it is not too much trouble...

    Atsion Mansion Photos

    In the first picture the woman with blue shorts is Melisa (I think she was Mellie on here). If she was there at that time, I think I remember being there for this....

    Member "Frolickin" Has Passed Away

    I am sorry to hear this. I have not been geocaching much and a while back I decided to go for a FTF for the hell of it and ran into him there. We had some fun looking for the cache and catching up on the "old days". This is a shame.

    Tool?

    This is exactly what I was thinking. I have seen that exact socket on a bunch of poles in my grandmothers shed years ago. They were various tools such as brooms and mops.

    Shoreline Challenge

    Oh yeah. Not only is their home owners policy a lot they have to add flood insurance on top of that. It does not seem to be a big deal to them, but it is all relative. They buy a 10 year old home for 5 million, tear it down because it is not what they want and then spend another 5 million to...

    Shoreline Challenge

    This always amazes me. I did an insurance survey for several homes in LBI a couple weeks ago. Some of these homes sit 300-500 feet from both the ocean and the bay. And their elevation is 5 feet or less. Yet the houses I inspected were new constructions that were several million dollars each...

    MyCoast: New Jersey

    Hey Boyd! How have I not found this before? This is exactly what I need for work. HazardHub turned out to be a real pain in the neck and finding FEMA flood zones was starting to get to be pretty difficult. This is a HUGE help! Thank you!
