Ro took these pix this past week of our favorite rarity and it's even scarcer color variant.

For weeks near Vincentown we've been seeing 18 wheel tractor trailers with rock trailers carrying BIG boulders going south on US 206. Yesterday just north of Chatsworth on 563 we saw one going south. Anyone know where they're all going, what's being built?

Heard 'em singing out back in the NJ Natura Lands Retreat Preserve this evening, first time this season. Neat!

Thanks to all for the very interesting history and related stuff. Not only did this illuminate Hedger House but I had no idea that 563 was an early route to Tuckerton. What/Where did it originate? There was no 4 mile circle in the late 1700's.... A guess is that there was a hamlet called Four...

Checked the Forum for historical info about the Hedger House and didn't find any. How old is the present building? Was there an earlier version of the building on the present site? Were there any incidents of note (ignoring bar fights, inside or out)? What was the construction date of the...

Gorgeous day; Ro & I just came back from walking a trail in the new Preserve near junction Patty Bowker & Friendship Roads. Starts out pretty clean, turned to quad trail then into path and ends in shrubery about 1100 feet from entrance. Person we ran into said it's about 2,000 acre property...

Today Ro and I drove east on Rte 70 out of Red Lion circle, turned right onto graveled Friendship Road. We set the car odometer to 0.0 miles at this point. After passing houses on the west/right side, at 0.9 miles on the right side we saw survey tapes hanging from bushes and a wooden surveyors...

Howdy Tom: Bear Swamp Preserve is almost entirely on the west side of 206, this one is to the east, bordering Patty Bowker Road. Howdy Ed: We saw a couple of (animal?) "trails", but none like the Batona or marked. I guess Ro and I gotta go back there and tale better looks to get some better...

Yes Saw only one NJNL Trust sign, on a tree. New one. Towards north end of area with these markers.

Yep, the gravel portion. The NJ tax map on the internet shows a large diamond shaped property but has zip information about it - owner, size, tax valuations, etc. This property, a single lot, has a fair amount of frontage on Patty Bowker Rd. We saw many orange boundary stakes - wonder why.

Dunno how to do that (newbie) but coordinates are close to 39°52'24.29" N 74°42'29.99" W Hope that helps.

Ro & I drove the northern, unpaved section of Patty Bowker Rd today. There was a new NJ Natural Lands Trust sign and several orange boundary marker stakes along the west, wooded side of the road. The NJ Natural Lands Trust website does not list this property. There were old, yellow "Posted"...

I gave my auto/racing library to the International Motor Racing Research Center at Watkins Glen. Included was a book that listed all the auto racing tracks that have existed in each of the United States, with data on each including dates of operation. You might call the IMRRC, ask for Bill...

Please identify location. There must be a story behind those twisted rails. What happened and when?

Nice pix, We wandered around in the Pines in 2012 looking for this, found it for photographs in 2013 with Karl Anderson's guidance. Have only seen it in one location. Saw tons of related Zigadenus species out in a bog in Dolly Sods, WV later on. tnx for posting.

A retired NC Park Ranger-naturalist with whom we enjoyed several days of botanizing in his area some years back had this to say: " This one is for sure a racer. It does have more white on the chin than probably 95 percent of all the racers we see down here. The smooth scales as opposed to the...
