I've rented a cabin at Bass River in the past and they do go fast at all the state parks. I suggest that you book as early in January as possible.

An article about the Pine Barrens and infiltration by sea water will be published in the Star Ledger tomorrow. Here is a brief description of the article: THE GHOST FOREST Parts of the state’s storied Pine Barrens is becoming a ghost forest. The Pine Barrens stretches across seven counties and...

The launch was postponed due to cloud cover at the observation site and rescheduled for tomorrow night, Tuesday June 13, at approximately the same time, between 9pm and 9:15pm.

Thanks. I proof read it several times and my eyes (and brain) just rolled right past the June date. Thanks for the heads up. I made the edit.

Today, May 6, 2017, is the 80th anniversary of the crash if the Hindenburg at Lakehurst. In an unusual move, the Navy will open the gates to the public at 5 pm today for those who want to attend the memorial ceremony. The usual preregistration to enter the base, which can take up to two weeks to...

This photograph from 1926 was never published until John Toland discovered it and published it in the late 1950's in his book, "Ships In The Sky". As the Los Angeles was being prepared for a flight at Lakehurst, a cool breeze blew in from the Atlantic and lifted the ship by the tail until it was...

Right you are. I didn't watch that far into the video the first time. I should have watched the whole thing before commenting.

Cool video but I don't think it was a drone mounted camera. Instead, It appears to be a gyro steadying device mounted to a person much like a Steadicam.

This is from the link that 46er provided above: Natural gas supply lines on barrier islands are completely destroyed, sustaining an estimated $97 million in damage.

Apparently, many of the gas mains were either ruptured or badly damaged along the coast and gas was turned off en masse for weeks if not months after the storm leaving whole towns without gas. That is why the big push for this "backup" pipeline.

The attached photos were taken Wednesday, March 29, 2017 In Chesterfield, NJ showing workers, heavy equipment and protesters all arriving for the beginning of excavation for the much anticipated, debated and protested Southern Reliability Link Pipeline. The 28 mile pipeline project will extend...

Very interesting reading. Thank goodness this project never materialized.

This article is featured in today's NJ Spotlight and is quite disconcerting. http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/17/03/21/water-borne-chemicals-near-military-base-exceed-epa-health-guidelines/

Is this something that ground penetrating radar could be used for, to determine where remains are located? I doubt that new graves would be dug until the location of the sacred Indian site is confirmed.

That is a very cool lamp!

What fantastic websites. I'll read every word. Thanks.

The description of this photo reads: Ex-Queen moves out for new Sky Ruler. It continues in part, "Lakehurst, NJ... The Los Angeles (foreground) now out of service), is moored to a mast as the new giant of the air, "Hindenburg" noses down to make connection to another mooring mast. The new ship...

Here's the view of the fire from my back yard in Cream Ridge. No, the farm isn't mine (I wish) but is my neighbors. I do get to enjoy the view of the farm though without having to do any of the work.

This is from the same series of Hindenburg photos as the previous post. The distortion on the lower left of the ship is just a reflection from when I took a photo of the photo.
