Boyd - your Wharton map EXCELLENT! Must have taken hours/days to compile. Had occasion to determine ownership of parcel bordering our home and NJ Natural lands Trust to west. State txa/parcel map not up to date, piece bought from listed owner some years ago. Wonder how often state map...

I hope I'm wrong, but it could be they ran out of places to mow. Seems like the verge mowing habit has gotten way out of control. We lost a bunch of rare orchids at Ongs Hat Rd last year to that misplaced fervor.

Appreciate seeing great pix of neat things and places, tnx Bob!

Not to be a smart a--, but you touched on an item that was at the focal point of my 40 years professionally. “accurate” to 17.1 trillion gallons? Perhaps precise but highly doubtful it’s accurate. Precision is the degree of repeatability, accuracy is relative to truth. How dow we know that it’s...

Any time there's a move to water down restrictions on conflict of interest you can bet its an attempt to get things done that shouldn't be done. We called our representatives' and senator's office today and expressed our strong request for them to vote NO.

Thanks all for the responses and information.

While at Forsythe NWR on 24 Jun 2017 Ro took a picture of the clam factory ruins, with the fish factory ruins in the background. When did the clam factory stop operations? Why was it built on two joined barges and not on an island? Why was it built ut on the water - if on shore it would have...

CORRECTION! We drove by the sign yesterday and read it more carefully (and with my wife's better eyes). It really says: Draft site 43.14 The mystery of its meaning (and to whom?) deepens.....

I knew it! I knew people on ths site could and would quickly solve this kind of mystery, but didn't expect it so soon. THANKS!

Going west on 532, right at the north roadside, at a corner of an abandoned bog at 390 50’ 16.4”, 740 39’ 47.2”, there’s a small sign: “Grass Site 43.14” Anyone have information on this? P.S. While I'm at it, do these bogs have a nime?

For years my wife Rosanne had been tick bitten. For years she got hives and once anaphylactic shock and went to the hospital. Three years ago she read about this allergy in the Wall Street Journal, had our allergist test her for it - positive, She was lucky that she's allergic to beef alone...

Ro's son, his wife and son, Ro and I were sitting on our 10 foot back patio, facing a 70+ foot wide swale and deep, wet woods beyond that on Sunday afternoon. While we all were sitting on the patio, a chipmunk skittered across, right next to the house Moments later a Black Racer snake...

AMEN!!!

Teagate & PBX: right on. Hope they get the perps.

Brasenia schreberi to botanists. We've seen plants in Pine bogs but never have photographed it in bloom. Wikipedia says it blooms one day as a male flower, releasing pollen, goes back underwater overnight, emerges second day as female flower and recives pollen, goes back underwater that night...

Hey, they're on the fringe the Pines... Ro & I went down to Heislerville . We stopped for gas at the Rte 47/Mauricetown Rd WaWa. Attendant saw Ro’s big lens & camera, asked if we were down birding. We said “yes”. Attendant said he lived nearby; that “they” pit up temporary bleachers on the...

Whoever said this would be a tick year is right on the money. Yesterday Ro and I got them at the new trails off Patty Bowker Rd and today when we were driving home from Franklin Parker after visiting our botany test site we had 3 ticks on the outside of our blue Ford! Outside!! That's a new...

A P.S. to the posts here. Mark Szutarski kindlylent me his copy of Peter Kalm's "Journey into North America" used on his mid-1700's trips here. (The genus Kalmia - laurels - is named for him). In his book Kalm does not go into the Pines, but he has a lot to write about "White Cedar" - our...

Thanks 46er for the background answers. PBX - we didn't penetrate into it very far - wrong clothes (plan: dinner at Lucky Bones in Cape May - unpaid advertisement). campbell" we accessed by the dirt road per the WMA website. Some big potholes but OK when we were there. Piles of dirt/sand for...

Bob, right on target, If it was "renovated? in 1992, the other questions remain - who built it, when, what for? ... and how? BTW, really wild, big place, surrounded by housing developments. Glad it was saved.
