    Raised trail?

    I made the terrain viewer just to answer questions like that! :) Hold the right mouse button down and move the mouse from left to right to rotate the 3d view. Now try running the vertical exaggeration slider from left to right to stretch everything vertically. You can easily see what is raised...

    Raised trail?

    This appears to be the location of your screenshot https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.911414/-74.278587/lidar2022hd/0.00/0.00 But from your description, I think you're referring to the trail running (more or less) from North to South here, which is actually a bit East of the crosshairs in the...

    Campground closing, applaud the owner

    FWIW, here's the location, see the list of parcels below. Some of them appear to be privately owned while others are owned by Cedar Creek Campground, Inc (according to my parcel database). It borders on William J. Dudley Park. https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#17/39.874083/-74.169206/parcels07/0/0/...

    Best Buy to stop selling DVD's

    When I moved to my present home in 2006, there was no cable TV or broadband. So, I started accumulating DVD's when they were on sale. I bought a fair number from those big bins! But you had to be willing to spend some time and dig down deep, LOL. Over the course of several years, I ripped about...

    Best Buy to stop selling DVD's

    Best Buy confirmed Friday that it is ending sales of DVDs. “To state the obvious, the way we watch movies and TV shows is much different today than it was decades ago” [...] Best Buy’s exit from the market will leave Walmart, Amazon and Target as the top retailers in the U.S. stocking DVDs and...

    Whispering Pines

    I bought a home back in the woods on Atsion Road in 2003 (and sold it a few years later). Never met the previous owners, but they sent me a nice note about the things they loved there. One of them was sitting on the deck and "watching the flying squirrels". I always thought that was odd, because...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/19/us/noaa-winter-weather-outlook-climate/index.html The mid-Atlantic and far southern New England are also likely to see more precipitation than normal this winter. El Niño typically favors a less-active, west-to-east storm track across the northern US, but the...

    I've never heard of it either. The reviews posted here suggest it may only be about a year old...

    Ruins in south side of Allaire State Park

    You might also enjoy playing with the LIDAR terrain viewer, the realtime controls can bring out details that may not be obvious on a regular map. But you need to use a computer because phones don't have enough processing power. (side note: has anyone gotten the terrain viewer to work on a phone...

    Ruins in south side of Allaire State Park

    OK... I see, thanks. That is farther South than I was looking. The cement slab(s) do show on the LIDAR https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/40.155891/-74.147875/midatlidar/0.00/0.00 And the buildings show nicely on the 1980's aerials...

    Ruins in south side of Allaire State Park

    Can't quite find that spot on the map and not personally familiar with the area. Apparently, it's somewhere around here? https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/40.162263/-74.148752/mbxhybrid/0.00/0.00 Looking in that general area on LIDAR, I don't see the "large concrete footprint" (I'm probably...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Intermittent sprinkles started around 10:30 here, ground is barely wet so far, looks like it will be awhile before any heavy rain arrives. I was able to get out for an hour-long walk before it started. :)

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Forecast looks a little better now with rain arriving later and a bit lower totals. The NWS has a map with more information, the little thumbnail shows under "weather story" on the Mount Holly site. But it's not there when you click on it, hopefully they'll fix it later. Saturday: Rain, mainly...
