    Blue dotted line

    What LIDAR maps? What blue dotted lines? Do you mean something like this? https://boydsmaps.com/#16.00/39.772385/-74.451653/lidar2021hd/0.00/0.00 If so, then yes, those are features that the USGS classifies as "intermittent streams". If you switch to the USGS topo, you will see something...

    Cellphone outage

    Is it affecting you? Not much info about this yet, on the news they said Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T users were all reporting outages, with the majority from AT&T. A little later, T-Mobile and Verizon said they were not aware of any problems. AT&T says they're working on it. I have AT&T and no...

    An interesting prospect with likely pitfalls

    Within walking distance of the (alleged) cannabis dispensary! :dance:

    Snow coming next week?

    About two inches at my place, no big deal but looks pretty. With the temperature going up to around 40 and the warm ground below, it won't last long. But it could be slippery tomorrow morning after freezing overnight. My so-called driveway. Out on the road

    Snow coming next week?

    The heavy stuff seems to be moving out of here (for now)

    Snow coming next week?

    The odds are going up! Now there's a 1% chance that I'll get 2 inches of snow. :dance: But some parts of Ocean and Burlington counties have 15% or higher probabilities.

    Raised trail?

    At the edge of a gravel pit, might have been bulldozed into a line to form a barrier. Or perhaps it's the spoils dumped there after they extracted whatever they were digging for? Would take a lot of time and erosion to wear that feature down to anything near the size of the one in the OP. :)

    Raised trail?

    Are you talkiing about the raised "ridge" feature here? That is about 10 to 15 feet higher than the surrounding terrain, at the edge of a gravel pit. https://boydsmaps.com/#19.15/40.248287/-74.076207/mbx3dmidatl/12.00/72.00

    Snow coming next week?

    The snow line is moving Southeast. I checked the New York City forecast yesterday and it was zero to two inches of snow, but now they're forecasting six inches in the city - quite a change! Nothing that dramatic for us in the pines though. But they say there's a 0% chance of the Pines...

    Schmung road

    Kind of like calling Philadelphia "Full'elphia"? :D I was on the faculty at the State University of NY at Oswego for many years. Local people would often pronounce Oswego like "Sweego", dropping the "O" from the beginning. I believe there's a Swago Road in the Pines somewhere, and I wondered...

    Are E-bikes motorized vehicles?

    See this - there's actually quite a lot about bicycles here https://dep.nj.gov/wp-content/uploads/rules/rules/njac7_2.pdf 7:2-1.7 Definitions "Motor vehicle" means any vehicle propelled other than by muscular power, except motorized bicycles, motorized scooters, and vehicles that run only...

    Schmung road

    That was also quoted in my first post. :) Thinking about this, Chatsworth is literally Old Shamong. If you follow Old Schmung Road Northwest, it intersects with what is now Chatsworth Road (although un-named on the 1949 Topo). So, I'm gonna go with the idea that this is the old road to Shamong...

    Schmung road

    Good catch, I did not connect that before. So, Andrews Road is called "Old Schmung Road" on the 1949 map. "Old North Green Street Road" (quite mouth full!) is also on the 24k topo. This sort of makes me think that it's just a different spelling of "Shamong" and the current location of Shamong...

    Schmung road

    Just noticed this on the 1949 topo yesterday (funny how I can still find new things on this old map). https://boydsmaps.com/#14.00/39.685469/-74.411793/pines1949/0.00/0.00 That name doesn't appear on any other map I've seen. First thought was just a mis-spelling of "Shamong", but this is in...

    Snow coming next week?

    8 to 12 inches is forecast for the Poconos and North Jersey - quite a contrast!
