I haven't been following this thread for a while, however I just noticed the subject got changed to Dupuytren's contracture. I had this problem on both hands. I was told it could be heredity, but I'm not aware of anyone in my family having it, and I don't have northern Euro heritage. Sorry...

Buzbys store was reduced by $75,000 on 4/9/19. The asking price now is $275,000. The original asking price was $545,000 back in 2014.

Today, I retraced my steps from the day I did the "Oak Bottom" Post back in February. This time it was much warmer; and after the major forest fire that took placed a couple weeks ago. This area suffered a direct hit. The most intriguing observation between the two visits was the valley that...

I was there at the pit last Thursday. Looking at the marked up picture, the circle on the left are three good pallets; the circle on the right is the only fire pit I noticed, and the arrow notes a marked enduro course. In the photo of the fire pit, note the yellow horizontal line in the...

Not a good photo, but here's the Before Picture.

They say that the fire has spread to 10,000 acres. That's 15.625 square miles. From Spring Hill to RT 72 at Coyle Field is about 4 miles. From Red Rd to Shoal Branch is about 4 miles. Not knowing the true direction the fire is spreading, it could be west of Shoal Branch to Bailey Rd. We...

The Bear Swamp Hill tower would have been the best to spot that fire. Are we short on towers?

Jeresy Girl; Could you be referring to Hazel in 1954. Millville had gust up to 86 mph. The other one I recalled, was Diane in 1955. I was 9 and 10 yrs old at the time. I believe they are the two I was referring.

I was in the Pines yesterday where I did some minimal bushwhacking without the use of Permethrin protection. Being March, I never gave any thought about using it. Well, I found a tick on me when I got home. It didn't take me too long in getting one of those babies. I'm going to the store...

Mark, I grew up in the 1950's-60's just a block away from the cemetery. All the kids in the neighborhood played on that parcel of land. It is basically rectangular in shape with the grave markers in one corner of the property. The rest was open with old growth trees. Sadly, a good number of...

When I got home for military service back in 1971, just in time for the Fall striper run at Island Beach SP, I passed through that intersection many of times. I believe only a 7-Eleven was on the corner at the time. It always seem I had to stop for the traffic light here, waiting for one or no...

Drainage improvement is scheduled along RT 70 btw RT 530 and RT 539 from 3/22 thru 3/23 during night time hours, alternate lanes closed intermittently.

Guy, I will take a guess that it is the very old bog within the recent land acquisition at the intersection of Patty Bowker Rd and Rt 532. If it's not that I don't have a clue.

Guy; Do you think it may just to keep to out vehicles and The Land Trust now has the key to the gate. That post must of had hundreds of Keep Out signs ticked to it over the years How I don't see any.

I know. I only live two blocks away from the bridge. There was an active eagles nest in the neighborhood last year near the river. I'll have to check it out the next time I'm out for a run.

Photos from Cuthbert Road Bridge at Cooper River, Camden County Park, just off RT 70 this morning. Standing there with all the high tech photographers and me with my 40X pocket camera.

Bob. I thought, maybe, being a kid in Presidential Lakes, you hiked over to where Silas worked, hanging around being a nuisance asking so many questions. That's where you got your start in the area you enjoy so much. Yes, that is a nice cover, very basic. I'll have to read the two articles...

Bob; did you know Silas Little? https://njforests.org/silas-little/

Al; here's my take on why some much taller trees are found in the pygmy pine plains. (Some of this info came from the attached article.) It took many centuries of frequents fires to establish these stunted pitch pine trees in the pine plains. Ground fires in the Barrens become crown fires in...

That photo of the "Lonesome Pine" was taken in the Little Plains. It wasn't too lonesome. Others were spotted here and there. Right behind me where I took the photo of the two pine trees below, is a ridge with a grove of tall trees. Also in these one area, there were more new growth trees...
