    Mount Misery Brook

    Really not seeing anything that drastic down here in Atlantic/Cumberland Counties. But all the forecasts I've seen are calling for a wet winter due to El Nino, so hopefully things will improve. As I read it, this map suggests that precipitation over the past 365 days has been very close to...

    Batona Trail Mile Markers

    OK - sorry - please disregard the part about text files above. I was able to get .gpx file uploads working (needed to clear my browser cache after changing the forum settings). Here's the .gpx version, let me know if you have any problems with it. [edit]Sorry, download has been removed. See the...

    Batona Trail Mile Markers

    The trail is clearly shown as a a green dashed line on my 2020 topo, you can create waypoints by moving the map so the crosshairs are on the desired point, then clicking them. These can then be exported in GPX format as Garmin-compatible waypoints if desired. But that might not be what you have...

    Tar Kiln Locations?

    I think there are much more, am counting 8 or 9 scattered around here - maybe more (although it's easy to let your imagination mislead you, LOL) https://boydsmaps.com/terra/#39.709914/-74.606596/0/49651/0/0/0/0/1380/600/-901/45/5/2d/shader40/0/0/z17

    Egg Harbor Township to decide whether to accept 525 acres of land

    Thanks, will try that the next time somebody posts a link. But that's a site that just doesn't interest me otherwise.

    Egg Harbor Township to decide whether to accept 525 acres of land

    FWIW, here's the parcel with the wetlands. Interesting that the state has no ownership records in their database. But it's only about 36 acres, so obviously there's a lot more to the 525 acres being offered for protection. https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#16/39.394759/-74.575043/parcels07/0/0/...

    Batona Trail Dirt Road Widened?

    I think @Teegate can tell you more about that. Like I said, there may be another thread about it but I couldn't find it after a quick look. :)

    Batona Trail Dirt Road Widened?

    Sorry, I can't quite figure out the location you're talking about. But could it be related to the project Guy mentions here? There may be another thread about this somewhere else too. https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/stone-searching-fall-winter-2023-2024.14548/#post-176469 I have not...

    Another Puzzle

    That's an area with hundreds of little 0.06 acre parcels. Not sure if it's relevant, but I find these areas interesting. Geology is "upland gravel", so maybe that's what they were digging for? https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#17/39.684583/-74.336382/parcels07/0/0/

    Who here has a solar electric system?

    True, we discussed that awhile ago in fact! https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/nj-is-2-for-solar-power.5756/

    Who here has a solar electric system?

    That's pretty much the state of my own thinking. But it's not a decision I would take lightly, would need to do some real research, create spreadsheets, etc. Not gonna take the time to do any of those things right now, but would love to have some real-world "solar in the pines" reports to...

    Who here has a solar electric system?

    Certainly not going to do this soon, but have been wondering whether I should install one here. Curious how many (if any?) members here have a system. If so, when did you install? Is it meeting your expectations? How much of your electric needs does it meet? Installation cost? Do you also have...

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    My days of tinkering with cars and getting excited about the new models is long over, but since I only have one vehicle it needs to be reliable since nothing is within walking distance of my home. So I tend to drive pretty new cars. My days of bragging about beating the saleman into the best...

    Garmin eTrex Solar

    I guess the intended audience for that product is people going on multi-day hikes. Long run-times have always been a selling point of the eTrex series (and an excuse for their limited features and slow processors). But just about any GPS or phone should have sufficient battery life for an...

    Garmin eTrex Solar

    A basic, non-mapping eTrex with a twist... it charges in the sun. Interesting idea, but $250 seems pretty steep for a GPS that doesn't even have a map. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/869859 Didn't do a detailed comparsion, but I think it's pretty similar to the $110 eTrex 10, except for the...

    Raised trail?

    I think it's all water, but something is making it look darker inside the area that Bob has outlined.
