    Years Ago Today

    Also found these in my gallery backup - (literal) state of the art GPS from 2004, a Garmin StreetPilot 2620 with full US maps on an internal 2.5gb IBM MicroDrive, cost me about $1000! Also bought their US Topo and installed part of it. A little smaller than a brick but just as heavy, on a cold...

    Years Ago Today

    I found my old pictures from the NJPB gallery the other day after we discussed it in another thread. Here are my Brooksbrae pictures from August 2004!

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Forest isn't gonna be so dry when this is done! Apparently, that won't be anytime soon. Getting a lot of rain here now, but this is just the tail of a huge storm with the center in Greenville, NC. https://boydsmaps.com/nexrad/#6/39.6537/-74.5903 Only moving around 13 mph, track shows it...

    Townsend clay works Wheatland

    Very cool @18inchapes - welcome to the site! Just one request however, please reduce the size (pixel dimensions) of your photos before uploading them to the site. They are very large (~4000x5000 pixels and 10MB). We suggest keeping the maximum dimension to about 1000 pixels, that will allow you...

    What new things would you like to see here?

    The Xenforo search is pretty terrible. Just had a quick look and don't see any setting for what you want. One thing that sometimes helps is to use quotes when it complains about a word being "too common" but that won't help here. For your example, I'd forget about NJPB search and just go to...

    Halgas Scout Reservation

    Thanks. So, "SOLD P/L CREDIT" means that the development rights (PDC's) for this parcel were sold and used to develop another piece of land?

    Halgas Scout Reservation

    I'm not very familiar with that area, but looks like a nice chunk of land, it includes a Natural Heritage Priority Site. Note the cryptic "SOLD P/L CREDIT". Does that mean "sold for pinelands credits"? Is that a transaction where somebody preserves a piece of pinelands property in order to sell...

    What new things would you like to see here?

    Well, I like the site just the way it is. :) Only thing I'd like to see is the ability to choose a "dark" theme, but that might require a paid plug-in. I think the site design is fine. Over at MacRumors they use the same Xenforo software with a style that's very similar. They do have a nice...

    Red Lion Dinner

    I went to the Marlton Olga's pretty often during the period 1994-2006. Working late nights in center city Philadelphia and commuting to Medford, that big Olga's sign was hard to resist! :) According to the article I quoted above, nothing was necessary for them to use the Olga's name...

    Red Lion Dinner

    I don't get out that way very often these days, but noticed the new Olga's last time I passed through. Found a few interesting things in this article from 2018. I was wondering whether they needed a license to use the Olga's name... apparently not. "during the 1940s and 1950s, the very first...

    Hurricane Lee

    At this point, looks like Lee is headed for New England and Canada. But even so, with such a big storm I suppose it could have some effect here. Guess we'll know before long....

    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    HERE (the company that provides Garmin's City Navigator Map data, formerly known as NAVTEQ) making some changes to their policies. Their maps are very useful for general information, with some nice aerials and specialized things like a special appearance on mobile devices and realtime traffic...

    Red Lion Dinner

    I guess you might say that, but it's not really that simple. Here's the boundary. https://njogis-newjersey.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/NJPines::pinelands-national-reserve/explore

    Red Lion Dinner

    Have not really noticed a quality change in the Wawa subs I order. But what sets them aside is I can get a "shortie" sub that's plenty big for me, while even a half sub from the Mom and Pop shops are gigantic (and more expensive). There's a great local place in Mays Landing - Sugar Hill Subs -...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Just got caught in some very intense rain about 5 miles from home. Visibility suddenly dropped to almost nothing, the road was beginning to flood. No other cars on the road fortunately, made it home very slowly and all is well. According to that map above, I can take consolation that my area...
