I’ve poked around Webb’s Mill a few times as well, looking for evidence of past use, but haven’t found much. But I’ve also come to realize that several regulars on this site seem to have better noses for that sort of thing than I do so maybe someone else will chime in. I did speak to a pair of...

Tomorrow (10/13) at Wells Mills County Park, Rt 532, Waretown. Live music all day provided by Albert Hall, environmental organizations and various vendors, antique tractors and engines, tree climbing demos, railroad history presentations and food (courtsey of Lucille's Country cooking, among...

If I were helping the student I’d also try to find out how specific his answers needed to be, if he even knows. If a tree list by genus alone would suffice, then answers of Pine, Oak and Cedar would be fine (aside from the fact that neither Atlantic white or Eastern red are true cedars)...

That's always been my motto, with exceptions for bullets and arsenic

I've seen hunters there in the past and the park's website indicates it is allowed, in the northern section only. Every county sets its own rules regarding hunting, so I'm not surprised it's allowed in a county park, but a bit so that it is in this one. Although I'm a hunter myself, I'd think...

Well that's another reason for flyfishermen like myself to look down on worm-dunkers.

I have to admit that I'm not even familiar with the species or the problems it's causing elsewhere. I'll have to read up on that. Most of my work involves environmental education and outdoor recreation programs and if a problem isn't immediately effecting or threatening our properties I do not...

I've heard many statements to that effect in the past myself, but without the explanation you included as a reason why. It seems to make sense and I'd be curious to get a more definitive explanation myself.

Ocean County Parks is in the process of forming a partnership with the strike team. Their efforts so far have focused mainly on the central and northern parts of the state due to the limited resources available to them. They are trying to deal less with widespread invasive species that already...

I'll be at a meeting with our decoy show committee next week. There will be several older local guys at the meeting that might know something if nothing is brought to light before then.

Is that a second go-around to the far left? It looks like Mr. Magoo went four wheelin! (or maybe my son :rolleyes: )

My early off-road explorations were done with a 69 Buick Electra, passed down to me by my father during the oil embargos when he bought a more sensible vehicle for commuting. Like you, I never considered a car a limitation. I enjoy exploring on foot more anyway and a car got me as far off-road...

I live a few hundred yards from Seven Bridges but spend little time there outside my truck during the time the greenheads rule, other than to occasionally launch my boat at the first bridge. I have more than ample opportunity to explore the thorofares and criks with my kayak the rest of the...

All conjecture aside, I think this is one of those cases where we are not going to know until we know, unless someone out there really does know, but then again, who knows? :D One possibility not mentioned is routine maintenance required due to the status of the line. While I’m not aware of the...

While no line pleases everyone, back in the day I found the 201/609 area code division as good a line as any. But they shot that idea to heck with the new area codes.

Nice shots and a nice truck. But I can't help but cringe, imagining the future screeching of the scrub oak scraping against the sides. :( You may try to avoid it, but when the bug bites you, you will push the limit and head down those narrower roads. :)

I dabbled in model trains for a while and that industry has changed as well. Most buyers call various dealers from magazine advertisements, or shop online. They find the lowest price, often without shipping charges. The small brick and mortar hobby shops that the Lionel trains of our youth came...

A crashed flying saucer! Have you notified the Air Force Guy?

There was a Little Beach Life Saving Station. It was Station #24 (later Coast Guard Station #120) It was abandoned by the CG in 1945. There were two additional stations to the south on Brigantine island. If you go to the live map section on this site, then the historic topo maps, you can see all...

The park is now closed to the public, for the duration of construction. A new visitor center will be built, intended to closely resemble the old farmhouse, as well as a maintenance garage, a separate public restroom and more defined parking. No more fishing the porta potty out of the bog on...
