    any pickerel fishermen out there

    Hi Strom, The lake near paradise road is mostly surrounded by private property with houses. The Franklin Parker Preserve might own some land on the west shore, but would not be accessable by vehicle. I've never fished it there are several old bogs along Burrs mill branch south of 70. the...

    The Road to Howardsville

    Nice pics, Ben . very surreal. One thing I have come to assume about Howardsville is that the reservoir at the north end holds many secrets about it's history. Jeff

    Dicktown & Penbryn

    Interesting stuff. I faintly recall a mention in some historical document or another of a settlement NW of Dicktown. i believe it predated Dicktown by a couple decades. It was founded by one Joseph Booboski, an early polish immigrant. I believe it came to be known as Boobsville. Has anyone...

    How come there is no shadow? I see other shadows on the ground but not that of the bird.

    Suzuki Samurai = ultimate pines vehicle?

    Hmmm, what you are saying stands to reason...that lesser used trails/roads are less rutted up. However, as I reflect on that I am surprised that I have encountered some very deep water and mud fairly frequently on very remote, seldom used trails. I've been on trails with the motorcycle that...

    Suzuki Samurai = ultimate pines vehicle?

    Yeah, a higher center of gravity is not really the ideal situation off road. I agree entirely with your reasoning for wanting some lift as i stated before, but it occured to me that one of the big reasons I didn't mention before is keeping your engine out of the water. Them puddles get real...

    Suzuki Samurai = ultimate pines vehicle?

    I did rip up my brake lines once in the bronco when I took a "go around" at night and didn't see a stump. So, while we don't have rocks we do have the submerged ruts and stumps, Also, I am always leary of what might have been left in a deep mudhole....logs, cinder blocks etc. from a previous...

    Suzuki Samurai = ultimate pines vehicle?

    I've heard a lot of good things about the Samurai's off road capabilities. I considered getting one myself, but the lack of cargo room held me back. Jeff

    Another Ride

    I bought this jeep cherokee from my drummer. I still have my legendary bronco. The bronco is a battle proven veteran of the pines. It also has more lift and larger, more aggressive tires than the Jeep could ever have without an aftermarket lift. My plan is to replace the bronco with the...

    Caves of Burlington County

    very interesting, Al. I believe this is the link. go to page 15 and it describes the cave. One important difference in the text from what you mentioned and what is in the link is that it was during an excavation FOR a cellar, not OF a cellar. It was probably filled in so that the building...

    Trip report: Pilgrim Lake Campground and Bass River SF exploring

    I think we are pretty much in agreement here, but what I was saying was that weather created the whoops in the state that we often encounter them. Post-enduro event, the whoops are never as dramatic/deep or nearly as uniform. Also, they tend to occur in naturally soft sand more than solid...

    Northern brown snake?

    Found this little guy late last night as I was heading out for a bike ride. He was in front of my garage. For perspective, the circular thing in the bottom of the bucket is about the size of a nickle. I believe it is a northern brown snake, but perhaps some of the herp experts on the forum...

    This ticks me off...

    I was out that way yesterday and there was a lifted jeep stuck on the other side of the tracks. Another jeep was attempting to pull him out. It was very very wet in the woods. I was on the motorcycle and could circumvent the deep stuff. Still ended up very muddy. Here is a pic but the camera...
