1980 vs 2020 https://boydsmaps.com/sync/#17/39.703818/-74.277899/pines1980/0/0/pines2020a/17/0/0

Kind of a sad "then and now" comparison.... https://boydsmaps.com/sync/#15/39.703768/-74.277996/pines2023/0/0/legacy24k/15/0/0

Interesting, the NWS forecast says rain is probable (70% Saturday night, 50% Sunday) with temperatures above freezing. It does call for snow in parts of PA and northern NJ however.

"The past year saw the lowest level of beer consumed in the U.S. in a generation, according to industry group Beer Marketer's Insights, as consumers shifted away from traditional favorites to other forms of alcohol — and in a growing number of cases, avoiding alcoholic beverages altogether."...

Now you're getting close to my backyard - have driven past countless times, but never got out to explore! The Cook map puts it here, but LIDAR doesn't show much evidence https://boydsmaps.com/sync/#17/39.307230/-74.811745/midatlidar/0/0/cook/15/0/0 Somehow, I got the idea it was actually...

I lied... :D Added a local version of the 2020 aerials to round out the set. As I've said, not so crazy about the quality, but wanted something newer in the collection of fast-loading locally hosted maps. These aerials have a very greenish tint. Not quite sure how I feel about that - this is...

I was never in the cabin at the top, but went there frequently when I lived in Medford. Most of the time, you could hang out as long as you wanted and have the whole place to yourself. I went up there when I first got a digital camera and took about 50 pictures. This was the view almost 25 years...

If you enjoy this kind of event, go for it! Sitting in traffic and then standing in line with a bunch of tourists for a 1-minute (or even 6-minute) peek at the pines from a firetower is my idea of pure hell! :clint:

Isn't the event on January 1? The NWS forecast doesn't look too bad... New Year's Day Mostly cloudy, with a high near 47. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph.

An article about Bob's favorite animal... :D "For the first time in four centuries, it’s good to be a beaver. Long persecuted for their pelts and reviled as pests, the dam-building rodents are today hailed by scientists as ecological saviors. Their ponds and wetlands store water in the face of...

How many tube-type TV sets are we each allowed to bring? :D

Here's today's batch of new maps... and I think that will be it for awhile! For starters, here's a comparison of the two sets of coastal imagery, with 1971-72 imagery of Shell Pile on the left and 1977-78 on the right...

Haha... my son in law was recently hired as personal assistant to an international billionaire while he's in the US at his penthouse overlooking Central Park and home(s) on Long Island. That's a world I will (happily) never know! Based purely on square footage, I'd say it takes at least 13...

This map is now ready. Like I said, it's an oddity. I took the 1970's coastal aerials, supplemented them with the 1977 coastals and then filled the interior with the 1980's aerials. These are the same wetlands/tidelands aerials available at NJGIN, but those always bother me because so much is...

I've finished the process of migrating to the new account at HERE in anticipation of their December 31 deadline. Even though there are changes to the API, they claim existing code will still work. Seems to be OK, but let me know if you have trouble accessing the HERE maps. Note: the following...

"People have always filled empty parts of maps with their imaginations and debated over information gaps. The difference this time is that the explorers are amateurs on their home computers. For the most part, they’re having fun along the way."...

Well, if I had $37 million in "mad money", I'd rather spend it on 145 acres of woods. That pretentious house in Avalon is the last place I'd want to live and you guys would just trash it at the big house warming party anyway. :D

Actually, we were at that point almost 5 years ago with my old site which used the Leaflet API and a heirarchical menu plug-in. https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/welcome-to-the-new-boyds-maps-forum.13009/#post-155923 When I re-wrote all the code from scratch and switched to the MapTalks...

Fixed that link, thanks. That's an oldie, from before the site was using SSL. Think we were on phpBB back then? :)

No need to use the wayback machine, that article is still here on the site. :) (or is something different about the old version?) https://www.njpinebarrens.com/lower-forge-un-bridge-revisited/
