    Sweetwater Run

    I have to agree with you Bob. Whenever we drove past my kids always wanted to get out and drink that water. One time I let them collect some using a water purifier. They used it to make some freeze dried food when we stopped Blacks Bridge. A shame to see people treat it like that. What's strange...

    Preachers Hill

    Took a ride out to Preachers Hill in Lacey today. I was hoping the trails wouldn’t be so dusty after the rain we had this week. When I turned after the entrance to Forked River Mountain to go towards the Factory Branch, I was quite surprised. It was completely dried up! No water was going...

    Egg Harbor River Kayak Trip

    Bob, you are spot on with the red flower but the purple flower was more like an orchid? It was the only flower in with other green stalked plants without flowers and it was on a very tiny grassy island or they may have been growing out of the steam bed itself. Its color and its soft looking...

    Egg Harbor River Kayak Trip

    RJG When we first came down the river we saw the shape of some kind of bird. As we got closer we thought it was even fake because it did not move at all. My son paddled by and was only 5 feet away. At that point it had not moved until we just about past it and then it opened its beak but still...

    Egg Harbor River Kayak Trip

    Looked at the weather for today and realized it was going to be the warmest day of the week. Did not have another driver to go with me and my 2 kids for a trip on the Mullica or Batsto. So I decided to try Palace Outfitters and do the 2-3 hour kayak trip. The flow and level were perfect. The...

    Sea King mast gone

    That's crazy! I was just at Barnegat Light Today around 7PM and was wondering why I could not locate the mast. Last time I was there in the early spring it was out in the water and pretty far from the beach. I can remember when it was way up the beach with vegetation growing around it.

    I liked his quote "We have to get away from this idea that preserving the forest means not touching it"

    N.J. will give residents at least $100 credit to help pay for soaring electric bill bills, Murphy says

    Ridiculous!!! Why don't they work on fixing the issues instead of just throwing money at it? A onetime rebate will not help people in the long run.
