Another place that just popped up that neither I or my friend who are both native Millbillies have heard of is North Newark.You'd think any place part of Millville would be South Newark but Wikipedia says North Newark is in Millville. Any one out there know where such place is?

Black Gum do whats known as fruit flagging.Their leaves turn early,usually maroon or purple.They turn early to alert the birds that their drupes are ripe and ready for eating so the birds can squirt them out else where and make more Black Gum.Sassafrass is also a fruit flgger.

When i used to hang out there roughly 78 to 82 the dam was not broken,there was a lake there though i see by the aerials the dam is out now.They apparently upped their equipment when i out ran their golf cart,they went to pickup trucks.Sorry about that Zach.probably my earlier shenanigans that...

Hey Guy.Those monster trees in the Bear swamp that You,Bob and I visited years back were Black Gum as well.Estimated at any where from 400 to 600 years old.They are a very slow growing tree.The trip i had to cancel recently went to even bigger Tulip Poplar but their estimated at only 250 to 300...

Spung I used to virtually live in those woods! My uncle used to live in the last house on Sherman heading away from mays landing rd on the right.My aunt still lives there but he's gone now.I used to head to the Colony from his house.Got caught in the screen house climbing around in the rafters...

Been on about eight years now.I hate it at times.Still can't figure out how some of it works.Like you i like the groups and the fact I have gotten in touch with folks i haven't seen since i was a kid.If anything will lock up my computer though it's facebook.The way they have all the videos...

Most all of it is now state.has been since I think the early 90"s.The woods/swamp on both sides of Union between Dante and the next road nort I think Piacenzia? are all state.You can also head south on Union and turn on the 45 degree left where the speed limit drops and that will turn into a...

I did the Egg harbor from new Brooklyn lake to mays landing back in 85,86 in five different sections.The first section was intended to be from new Brooklyn to Piney Hollow rd but it was so bad down to Winslow Williamstown rd that we ditched the boat there and walked back to the lake to get the...

Now I would have made the state fish the Chain Pickerel.Always pictured trout as more of a fast water mountain fish excepting lake trout but I believe even they like cold water and our deepest lakes aren't very deep at all so cold water in August is hard to find in South Jersey. Maybe I"ll take...

Were they stocked? never knew that to be a native species???

Looks like some potential stones on those corners.If I could find one there is enough info on there to find more.Looks like the whole area is now state.Kinda takes the fun out of it,well maybe not.Too old to run and too big to sneak now,nice to stay legal when i can:-)

Okay Spung Man, I found it on the Hartmans Map and I have been all over that area and never knew i was in a Thick Hole.Most of that area is state land now,of course I was in there before it was. When I was there much of it had been cut over recently.If I remember right late 80's maybe early...

Is the Oasis the same as the Thick Hole? South River,Blue Anchor and Hance Bridge are quite some distance apart???? I know where there are a mess of spungs at the Manumuskin headwaters in this area...

I Just received an email from a botanist friend of mine and the file below was included.He was asking if I knew of a place called Thick Hole which I do not.It seems to be a hold out for the rare Fringetree.We have both encountered the tree along the Manumuskin upstream from Cumberland Pond and...

I had to read the article.I was about to stomp my feet and proclaim "Ghosts don't leave no tracks"!

Looks like some kind of sandstone conglomerate.I have seen rock like that around here and think it may be native but have never seen beds of it.Were you on top of a ridge?

I remember being in the Barrens with Him once and He took Me to a memorial He had made in the woods to a friend of his who had recently died.I got the impression it was an old girl friend.I forget her name and what killed her but I remember the circle of bricks.I cannot remember where it was,I"m...

By the way the small rock He found was so camo in lichen that He wasn't sure if it was rock or stump so he leaned down and scratched a small section of lichen off to check.This was 12 years ago.That scratch mark he made in the lichen is still there to this day.

He was a big Allman Brothers fan. He searched all day with me along manumuskin Creek about 12 years ago looking for the famous Preacher Stone.He found a small sandstone after hours of looking in thick scrub and avoding massive ant hills.We though that was it and He was ery happy,so was I.Then I...
