    542 Detour Question

    My bet is on May completion (would love to be wrong). Another good idea would have been to re-pave the mile of Rt. 542 at the blueberry fields while the detour was up. Atlantic Co. will most likely wait for the bridge to be fixed and the road to open so they can close it again for paving.....

    542 Detour Question

    Scott, Yes you can make it to PM church if you are traveling east from Nesco. The Mullica River Bridge is closed just at the end of the cemetery. The parking lot at the church is accessible. PS - The contract to fix the roadway/bridge was awarded with the work to be done by end of February......

    Time For Wining in The Pines !

    Yes! With Scott's support (1-800-350-WINO) I managed to harvest a lovely tub of "Back Porch Red". Actually, a Pinot Noir that turned out quite good. I am considering a dry white as well this fall....that's how easy it was to produce. I may visit Valenzano on Sunday. Thanks for the reminder!

    Batsto Village seriously damaged by hurricane floodwater

    So far, the only portion of the upper village affected may be the gristmill... The mansion opened for tours yesterday and the village blacksmith is back beginning today (on weekends only)! For obvious reasons the lower village will be closed until further notice. I can only guess that after...

    Batsto Village seriously damaged by hurricane floodwater

    Severe damage as the Batsto and Mullica Rivers rose and met in the village. Adding to the headache is the washout of the roads at both bridges on Rt. 542, closing the road and creating a 12 mile detour coming in from the west...... some camps and many roadways in the forest remain inaccessible...

    Pine Barrens Fire Prevention

    In the past 2 weeks of severe storms (and a tornado!), I have seen dozens of trees with these marks. Most recently yesterday while kayaking on the Wading, Sunday hiking along the Mullica, Saturday on Ridge Rd.....etc. I picked up a curled piece of inner bark from a pine tree that had been...

    New Jersey Quail Project

    I think the writer meant invasive weeds. I hope their project is successful. We tried once to release quail on our property and were apparently unsuccessful, as we never saw them afterwards. The turkeys are having a field day of it here though!

    Razing of trees

    Guy, That property has been for sale for quite some time now. A few weeks ago, I noticed the surveyors in there with orange flagging tape. And then bam! ~ everything is bulldozed with the exception of a few alianthus trees and scrubby weeds. I can't fathom them taking everything down...
