    Oswego Lake Road

    There's a bridge closure/repair on the road south from Dukes Bridge/Chatsworth to the area just northwest of Lake Oswego - think part was called Tuckerton Rd. It's been closed since last summer at the 1st cedar swamp going south from Dukes Bridge. In the '60's we used it to access Oswego Lake...

    Lichens Presentation by Natalie Howe

    This presentation is available at: <http://www.nj.gov/pinelands/about/events/Howe_PSC_LichenEcology_14Mar2015_3.pdf> It's suitable for the general public visiting the Pines; it's explaining the lichens they may see. Thus I thought it appropriate for this Forum. BTW, Ro and I met Natalie in...

    Pinelands firebreaks permit requirement sparks concern

    1000's of fire breaks? Anyone got an idea what effect that might have on wildlife? The Pinelands require fire to continue its historical processes. This sounds like "Smokey Bear Squared" to me. And we know what that misguided practice resulted in out west. And 30 day permit process is...

    Jackson Road Closed

    Redneck 350: That's yhr spot. Many thanks for the explanation. I wondered if the road had been "dedicated", and if so, by whom? That should settle "who's in charge" arguments, if there were no later arrangements. We were coming back from Vineland and travel service said to turn off 73 onto...

    Jackson Road Closed

    Ro & I went for a drive down Jackson Rd from route 541/Stokes Rd. We were shocked to see signs "Road Closed" and found concrete barriers across the road at the north edge of a lake at about the Camden/Burlington county line. Thought this was a public road? Who gave authority to block it? Why?

    Russ Anderson Road runs north off 532/Chatsworth-Tabernacle Rd west of Chatsworth Lake. Who was Russ Anderson? Why is this piece of the road named for him?

    3 States Stone

    Bob, I've no idea how "they" situated the stone. For that matter, one could wonder how accurate the survey was done and when. Let me tell you one time about "where is Bermuda?" - a true story of location something on the earth's surface. From my days helping build the most precise (and...

    3 States Stone

    My daughter Ann says Colorado is written on two sides; she, too, wondered why it's not triangular. Maybe Colorado paid for it? or they have largest chunk of adjoining territory? or they were 1st to put the stone in?

    3 States Stone

    imkms: Good question - I'll see if Kat or Ann noticed that. PBX: Rotate that diamond on your diagram 180 degrees and I think it would work fine.

    3 States Stone

    it's not the Pines, but I just had to post this to show Teagate easy stone hunting out west. Picture of my granddaughter Kat on a trek with her mom, Ann, at Black Mesa, OK (highest point). Stone marks junction NM, OK, and Co - but has 4 sides, 2 for Co. Why not triangular???

    Lotus flowers

    There's a pond full of Nelumbo (American lotus) north of Hammonton on the west side of U.S.30 right next to the road. Ro made a beautiful picture of one in bloom. BUT, I think they're through for this year.

    Retreat

    Bob, I remembered the original PBX report post, mentioned the long-gone cotton mill but sadly I'd forgotten Jerseyman's wonderful account. We came here from 8 acres w/ 3/4 acre pond holding 7.5 lb bigmouth "Bugga" and abt 4,000 square foot wood stove heated log home we built bordering old...

    Retreat

    Anyone know the source/s of the name of this settlement in Southampton Twp at Retreat and Big Hill Roads? Learned from report here of a PBX that it long ago had a cotton mill, now bordered by Leisuretown. We found a big, abandoned concrete dam and spillway in woods nearby.
