    Where to buy firewood

    There are a lot of places with firewood signs on Stage Road. When I camp there, I get it from a house just before the RV campground on the same side of the road. $10 a stack and it lasts a night or two. Just take a ride out stage road and keep your eyes open for the firewood signs.

    How far north?

    I have been working on a project that includes various pineland locations. I came across this shapefile from the DEP that outlines the pine barrens. Once I expand on the map with some labels and stuff, I will post that as well...

    Guess the location

    Why would they plant the trees and then cut them down again?

    Guess the location

    That's the general area that I was thinking of Boyd, however I thought it was on the other side of Allens Road between it and French Coal. Looking at the ortho, I am still not 100% sure...

    Guess the location

    Oooohh! I know! There is a road (French Coal, I think) that runs parallel between Allen and Dan Bridge Roads in Bass River SF. It goes through a white cedar swamp and is an absolutely gorgeous area. Is that right?

    Looks like Ole JD made it to Texas...

    Ah Al, boriqua??? My mother is Cuban but lived in P.R. for a long time after being a political refugee, hehe. When I was growing up I was often entertained by stories of El Chupacabra. Yes, "el". Even though the words are feminine in origin, the creature was always presumed to be male, thus...

    I had heard the DEP did this in the early 80's but I was skeptical. August 4th 1981

    That was going to be my question...where would they sleep? I know Bass River has signs and pamphlets warning about black bears, but I have never truly believed there were any around (even though I DO believe in cougars in the pines, oh, my). Being from upstate NY, I could not imagine bears...

    Looks like Ole JD made it to Texas...

    My mom came from Cuba and I grew up listening to stories of La Chupacabra. I move here to the pines many years ago and it's the Jersey Devil. Feels like home, hehe. Now it seems like La Chupa and Ole JD made hs way to Texas, lol...

    Need help picking a handheld GPS

    Everyone has their own preference for brands of handhelds. I personally prefer Garmin. Currently I own an Etrex Vista HCx. It has done me well. It is rugged and easy to use. The Vista was a little more expensive (around $300 when I got it) but you will find that there are cheaper versions...

    Forked River Mountain / East Mountain

    I have an iPhone and use AT&T (it was the only provider that uses iPhones). My reception is great all through Wharton until I get to the Batsto area. I still get reception, but only one-two bars down there. But then again if I move a foot or two I can pick it up better...

    Bats still dying in N.J.

    WNS in Europe is definitely there, some say it originated in Europe because they are not dying there as they are here. They coevolved with the disease. An interesting quote about the syndrome from the CDC: And some great sites with info and/or opinions.... http://www.fort.usgs.gov/wns/...
