I do extremely little exploring along the major rivers. I tend to explore cedar swamps along small streams, open bogs and seepage areas. And I find myself in thicket areas a lot.too. I have no guess. Someone must know where this is.

Second guess. Walkway over Middle Branch along the Barnegat Branch Trail. My last guess.

My only guess is that you were in Cape May Point State Park. I see one spot there that could be a more exact location.

Another rough day with Bob, but a very enjoyable one. Being in this type of habitat, I stayed mostly on the edges, watching my footings at all time. The seep Pitcher-Plant with five Rose Pogonias just starting to show in the background. Bob with pole Bob again with pole Early...

Thanks.

Same for the turkey beard that was nearby. Of all the times I been there at this time of the year, I never saw them in this area.

I was afraid you was going to post that. But more importantly, do you see the two Arethusa's in the photo. I wound up sitting on them.

Yesterday, Bob and I made a return trip back to the watershed, we call 'Dragon Valley', where we counted a large amount of Arethusa bulbosa (Dragon Mouth) orchids last year, to continue the count on several areas that we didn't have time. We hit two areas on this trip. Bob, chose an area along...

As for the turkey beard, I saw that same occurrence in the area of the Sykes Branch and Sooey Rd after the Spring Hill Fire. Being in that area several times, I never realize now many plants were present. Being small, they normally hid in the understory. In very short time, they started to come...

Bob. My guess that the small plants scattered all around isTurkey-beard.. I'm not as sure on the other one, but based on time of year, my guess is Sand Myrtle.

Jessica: I'm not sure how you can follow the Varnum Family tree if you are not a direct descendent going back to the 1600's. In the first 7 generations, my direct Great Grandfathers had 10 to 12 kids each. One had 15. You can see the family tree grew quite large, quite fast, and with different...

Jessica. Can you give me a little more info to your connection to Farnham, Farnam, or Varnum There are Ralphs in the first five genrrations, I split off at the fourth Ralph. It was the third Ralph (Farnum) who was involved with in the Salem Witch Trials (DOB: 6/1/1662 Andover MA,; DOD...

I found this on the Web. 'Historically this site was the home of the Pinewood Restaurant which close in the 1970's. Beginning in 1978 the site operated as Beau Rivage"

If I remember correctly, as I walked down that road with the two spungs, there were nice heavy duty wooden barriers in front of them. If the State wanted to close off that road in question, I would think a similar barrier would have been placed at the foot of that road.

I noticed that the sites for Times Herald and the Courier-Post has the same format. They are both owned by Gannett, as they own many other newspapers.
