    Forked River Mountain Hike

    I used to go there frequently from around 1994-2014. It was never easy to get there. Remember one time when I had a pretty new VW Rabbit and passed a guy in a beat-up jeep. He said "You brought that new car out here????" and just laughed. :D Never got stuck, but it was always dicey. Sounds like...

    Comcast hack may affect over 35 million users

    A big problem with this sort of thing is that lots of people use the same names and passwords on multiple sites. So, it's possible that this can cause a lot of collateral damage across the web and even affect users on sites like NJPB. :argh: This might help, although it's really intended to...

    This sounds like bad news.... "Xfinity says it's informing customers of the incident via its website, email and by other means. It's urging them to change their passwords, to make sure they don't use the same passwords on different accounts and to enable two-factor or multi-factor...

    After all the rain we just had, might be a good idea to wait awhile. :)

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Test Pits on the top of hills..?

    Found this at the top of page 309 of "South Jersey Towns, History and Legend" by William McMahon. Guessing it's a different Alligator though.... "On October 25, 1782, about a mile South of Barnegat Inlet, a crew under command of Captain Andrew Steelman of the privateer Alligator unloaded goods...
