Here's my garlic haul this year. One of my garden favorites.

Given your username, I was wondering if you might chime in here :) I'm a newbie to the ADK's but my friend who I'm going with is a veteran and gave me a few options: Wright Algonquin Iroqois, Colden, Marcy Haystack, Gothics Armstrong, Cascade Porter, Dix, Whiteface. Any thoughts on any of...

Anyone have any experience with PLBs or Satellite Messengers which allow you to call for help in an emergency? I'm going on a multi day backpacking trip this summer in the Adirondacks and was thinking of picking one up. Given how often I'm out in the pines out of cell range alone, I was...

Here are a couple I got. When I first got there, they were also closed, but I wasted some time and came back and they were open.

Will do Guy, and vice versa if you are heading out there.

Then I headed up to the location that Don Catts has previously identifed as the Lower Forge hunting club: Nothing there remaining however, I did just find a new lunch spot for kayaking on the Batsto. :-) I noted this square on the township border. I wasn't sure if that meant if there was...

After the thread on Mannis Duck Pond, I remembered I wanted to hike the area north of Lower Forge, specifically, this little dog leg off of the main trail: The trail was nearly completely reclaimed in places, but fairly open in others. Sometimes it was hard to even find: I came across...

I think you are talking about this area? This is Mannis duck pond road in 2014, in November. You can't see the leaves on the bushes, obviously, but you could still see the char at the bottom of the trees at that time.

And don't forget they would have had to redirect the water flow to keep the forms dry until the concrete set. That is some deep woods piney engineering!

I've always been interested in Mannis Duck pond. I even made a very similar observation about the challenges of building that dam. https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/where-is-this.9838/page-43 Great Jon/John's think alike, I guess. :-) Don Catts added some really interesting info...

These high winds we are getting right now are not helping any....

Looks like a great time! How far did you have to drag your boat?

I might be doing this this weekend. I've been wanting to do this trail for a while. I hiked part of it last summer but have been wanting to bike it.

Thanks for the info, all. Sounds like I'm in for quite a challenge. I'll save this one for when I'm bored and need something challenging to do. :-)

I was looking to do some paddling on the Nescochague at some point this summer. Does anyone know if you will get any problems if you put in at the dam? In my book Paddling the Jersey Pine Barrens, it recommends asking permission, but that was written when the camp was in operation. I haven't...

Looking over pics of one, I think you're right. I was able to see it a lot better in person than that pic shows and it looks like the pics I saw online.

Thanks everyone. Beavers it is, it seems. I really can't figure out why they would do it, perhaps it is to make it easier to get out of the water as pinelandpaddler suggests. Anyway, the junior explorer had to try out daddy's boots when I got home. And yes, her shirt says "I'm Difficult" and...

I have Jersey Genesis, but I just didn't get into it. Maybe I'll have to try the others. So many books, so little time!

Excellent book! I rank this one number 3 after The Pine Barrens (McPhee) and Barbara Solem's book.

I was out exploring the Friendship bogs this AM. A little wet, but a beautiful morning none the less. Was out testing my new Tamron 28-300mm lens. Obligatory bog pic Some sort of lily? Martin? Everywhere I went, I saw these piles that were dregdged out of the bogs. Anyone have an...
