    Bass River Fire

    Definitely more smoke today, but I wouldn't consider it that bad. The pollen has been much more of a problem for me, and it was very bad until about two days ago when it let up noticeably. Tried a fun little experiment around 8:30 this morning. This was the view looking Southeast from here in...

    Bass River Fire

    Yesterday really wasn't bad here, I was out wandering in the woods for a few hours. There was a refreshing wind and I think the smoke was at a higher altitude because it made the sun orange-ish but there wasn't a lot of haze. Then, around 7:30PM the wind stopped and temperature fell and I...

    Poison Ivy and Indian Mills

    I lived about a mile from there back in 1996-1997, on Stokes Rd near the Three Bridge intersection (in a home we rented from Steve Abrams, who must be related to our own @M1 Abrams , but I'm not sure how!) :D

    Bass River Fire

    Yes, apparently that has been a major source of the smoke for the past week or so. Saw a report that New York had the worst air quality of any major city in the world for awhile last night and it was #2 this morning (normally it would be way down the list). No so bad down here in Atlantic County...

    Where is this?

    I can split this part out into a separate thread if you like, but which post should it start with?

    The answer was right under my nose, but I didn't realize until now! :D https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#17/39.600509/-74.575812/midatlidar/0/0/

    GM is phasing out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    CarPlay isn't the only thing that's being phased out. When I commuted to Philadelphia, I listened to KYW frequently for traffic and news updates. Can't really remember the last time Iistened to an AM station however. "Automakers, such as BMW, Volkswagen, Mazda and Tesla, are removing AM radios...

    Streams in Suburbia

    If I'm following this properly, then no. The one that Bob has circled does not show a name in the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) but you can see Stone Bridge Branch to the North and Slab Bridge Branch to the South. This also matches the map that Bob attached...

    Quite a hill

    Looks like a big sand pile on the 1980's aerials! https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#17/39.295614/-74.911608/njgin1980/0/0/

    Quite a hill

    Not much of a "trip", but this seems like the best place to post it... Driving down Hunters Mill Rd near Halberton recently, I noticed what looked like a sheer "cliff" barely visible through the heavy tree cover on the North side of the road. I figured it was just more of the spoils from nearby...

    The Nature Conservancy Finalizes Land Donation to Ocean County

    I'm still confused about ownership in that area. When I made my 2020 topo, I went through the articles about the new public land, identified the parcels and marked them as openspace. When I built the new PinesXT site last month, I used the newest NJDEP openspace dataset and was surprised to see...

    Welcome to lidar.boydsmaps.com!

    Looks like it may use integer math, each of those "steps" is like an elevation contour on a topo map, but in one-foot increments. They become more noticeable as you increase vertical exaggeration. There may be some different rendering options that affect this with the 3js API, have been meaning...

    Welcome to lidar.boydsmaps.com!

    Well, at boydsmaps.com, it ain't over until it's over. The LIDAR site is returning (in a sense).... I liked playing with the lighting to bring out details on this old site, but it only covered a small area and required lots of work to make the maps. The other day I had a flash of inspiration...
