    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Just got back from Millville, sky got dark, not much wind and only very light rain, more like a "sprinkle". Back home, must have been about the same, ground isn't even completely wet. Radar shows that it is moving out now.

    Member "Frolickin" Has Passed Away

    I had to look him up, but now I remember some of his posts. Strange that he stopped posting here in 2010. Very sad to die so young, that article makes it sound rather mysterious. https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/members/frolickin.23/#recent-content

    boydsmaps on a phone without cell service

    One vote of "not interested" so far, LOL. No matter, I am moving ahead with this for my own use. :dance: I'm now running the full boydsmaps app, hosted with Simple HTTP Server Plus on my Android phone. It will need some tweaking, but it works and it's noticeably faster than accessing the site...

    Atco Dragway to permanently close after 63 years in NJ, all remaining events for 2023 canceled

    From what I've read, weed growing facilities are usually indoors, in a secure warehouse with a big electric service for the grow lights and HVAC. Seems like there would be other places that are a better fit for that.

    Piney Tribe @ Burlington County Farm Fair

    You mean like this? :D Got mine from her at Buzby's, that was a very memorable day. First of several trips exploring the pines with a special friend, a city girl who passed away in 2016. We had fun chatting with Marilyn, I think that's the only time I met her.

    Piney Tribe @ Burlington County Farm Fair

    OK, was looking in the wrong place, that article was about James Pullaro but he isn't the owner of Piney Tribe. I don't want to "out" him if he doesn't want to be, but the site owner is indeed a member here. You could probably figure it out if you look at the "about" page at pineytribe.com. :)

    Piney Tribe @ Burlington County Farm Fair

    I don't know anything about them, but this is from an article on the homepage of their website. :D https://pineytribe.com "There are so many sites in the Pines that have been forgotten. A lot of times I’m looking at old Mill sites by using maps from places like NJ Pine Barrens Forum (Boyds...

    boydsmaps on a phone without cell service

    This was just a quick test, not very impressive, but I have the Kobbe map running completely offline on my Android test phone - no internet connection or cell service needed. I used the Kobbe map for this test because it's the smallest one, but it should work with any map. This is just a simple...

    iPhone 16 ProMax might have a 300mm optical telephoto lens

    "The label of 'super' or 'ultra' telephoto is usually afforded to cameras with a focal length over 300mm, drastically magnifying and pulling in distant subjects. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro models' telephoto camera has a focal length of equivalent to 77mm..." Wow. If true, that would be...

    Atsion is one thing, but what really bothers me is the way people pronounce Mechescatauxin! :argh:Or is it Mechesactauxin? :D

    Well, I lived on Atsion Road for awhile and heard it pronounced various ways. Never bothered me one way or the other. :)

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    24-hour precipitation totals. This time the pattern was reversed and the Southern counties got the most rain, I got about and inch and a half here in Atlantic County.

    Working with Waypoints and Maps

    I feel the same way about the old topo maps, but scanning paper copies is just a little too "old school" for me. They're all available as TIFF files here, georeferenced and ready to download and use. :)...

    Working with Waypoints and Maps

    Sure, those are the new digital topo maps, USGS calls them "US Topo". They are a completely different animal. The only places where I used those are where no legacy topo exists, and all of those places are outside of New Jersey.
