No rain...how'd it go?

Wish I could go! If you ever want to do this earlier in the day Terry, please let me know!!!!

From what I can tell the area is the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center Long Range Radar Site. It IS a radome.

What nice pics, Joyce!!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!

Fire in Fort Dix was contained at 400 acres. Added on to the 1000+ acres that burned a few days ago. The cause is still unknown but it is believed to be caused by human activity. The Warren Grove fire a couple of weeks back was caused by a lightning strike. NJFFS has bumped up their...

Yep. There was a fire out that way. The Joint Base firefighters at Fort Dix just requested NJFFS help as well, looks like it may be 1000 acres out that way....

Campfire restrictions were bumped up a notch and according the the NJFFS group that I am a moderator on patrols were bumped up to a stage 3 which means that every truck doing a patrol must have a driver and a firefighter on board. It is really dry out there, so please take extra precaution...

More than welcome to join us Karl!

I am holding an event at the Pic on Saturday..starting time between 11am and noon. All of you guys are welcome to come for the wings and such. There is going to be a buffet with all you can eat wings, a couple of salads, a vegetarian dish and either pork or beef with rolls and butter, There...

I would love to be able to meet you guys. I am setting up my classes for Geospatial Certification and I have a lot to do (plus a get together at the Pic on Saturday). Not sure if can give you a definite for Monday but would love to attend. Jerseyman, if you are OK with a tagalong , I should...

Guy, No, I googled them to see what they looked like. I took a couple of photos of the tree frog with my phone, but it was too dark (almost midnight) and the flashlight shining on them made them less than optimum. I will be out there again with my camera.

Thanks Al!!!! They sure made a lot of noise for such little creatures! Correct pics? Northern Grey Tree Frog Fowlers Toad This was my first time searching for and trying to identify the sounds of the pines. I am so glad I recorded it. Am thinking it would make a cool ringtone, hehe....

Thanks Guy! I think it is a different sound than the file you sent me, but I can not be sure. Let me know what you think. I sent you the file...

Seems like I am having quite a bit of trouble uploading a sound file. Help? Please?

I was out in Wharton last night in the Hampton Rd area and heard some great sounds coming from the a small area near the intersection of Stokes and Hampton Rds. I recognized a tree frog and a bull frog, but there was a third sound (dubbed the "screechy thing", hehe) that I could not identify...

That is a pretty good thought Sue. If Joe has some more info, I would definitely be interested in hearing it. And yes...that chair is STILL there. Along with the tricycle....

Yes, that seems right. Sometime today I will post a map with the interesting things that I have found plotted out. I plan on trying to compare it with some of the old maps of the area if I get a chance. I'll keep you updated...

Boyd, I have 70-80% of the area mapped out on my GPSr. Just haven't overlayed it with the old maps, topos and aerials yet. It is a learning process for me. I believe that the area you are showing is where the old pouring and cooling buildings are. I don't think those buildings are the ones...

The thing that really confused me was this "trench". I had it marked from my last visit. A couple of feet deep and maybe 2 ft wide (if that), I had noticed a "pit". The indentation in the ground measured about a 3-4 ft diameter. Just a depression in the earth, but if you look closely there...

My second stop took me to what I believe to be the "pouring and cooling" buildings. These buildings are pretty intact ruins. There is an angle of about 15-25 degrees of the outer walls pointing inward which made me believe that they are the P&C buildings. There were three of them in a row...
