    Atsion Turntable

    I have, but it was for searching out plants. I was not paying attention to the rails or signs, etc. I'm certain Guy has, and some of my botanical friends.

    Atsion Turntable

    That's odd. I could believe it if a train full of steel was on the track for years through many fires.

    Music for the day

    Evoking strong memories. Not just of the song, but of the times. This is many years after he first recorded it.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Apparantly, it was never deep even when it was full to the brim. In that photo, if you in a canoe tipped over, those punji sticks would impale you.

    Forked River Mountain Hike

    The mountain is only clean because the Forked River Mountain Coalition cleans it each year. I myself was part of the crew last year, as was German, and Dawn Jennings, and a group of active teenagers. About 5 or so bags of cans and bottles were taken out. By the way, that is very nice looking...

    It never gets old. Have to listen to it every couple of years.

    I can't see a difference at all.

    Changes to Forked Rivers

    The south branch pipes have been out for several years now. Be careful, there is a metal angle iron underneath the water and sticking straight up. When (if) you drive through, make sure you look it over first. There had to be at least a small trestle at the South Branch. Long gone now.

    Howell Ruins

    I understand. I don't like people who trash places either. Like Pasadena, which is also very upsetting.

    Where is this?

    This is an interesting landmark I found tonight just flying around the aerials. Can anyone tell where it is and the history?

    Where is this?

    Interesting that the name on the map is Winfield Eldridge. Wonder if related to Norman. Cool first name.

    Where is this?

    That first spot with the wires looks like ore spung, and I think someone took a photo I'm in on the second one. But, my memory is fading, could be incorrect.

    Where is this?

    Back then, you'd have to drive home, grab the handset off the wall, and dial information and ask for the Forest Fire Warden. I forget what we had to do to get information. Ask the operator?

    PS: that sassafras close up. Almost looks like some kind of rock formation.

    Cape May County Explorations

    This is an interesting condition on this tree. I was lucky enough to see a branch of leaves that had fallen.

    Cape May County Explorations

    I like Chestnut Oak. I think of it as a very stable species, and a good-looking tree all the time. Another tree deserving respect is Willow Oak. While some white oak down there can get big and fat, Willow oak is always rigid, straight, big, and strong looking. They are quite numerous in the...

    Cape May County Explorations

    There was one sassafras tree about 40 yards away that was only 8" in diameter, but the leaves were comparitively huge. This mitten one is 8" by 4"

    And, within a few feet in the same grove, two of these, making comparison a snap.
