    Atco Dragway’s Closure Has Drawn More Interest In Woodland Roadway Known For Illegal Street Racing, Says Resident In Asking For Enforcement

    Seems like an absurd amount of money for that property. Don’t blame the owner for suddenly closing now.

    Meet Wharton State Forest Superintendent Chris Ford (Video)

    I live on Atsion and have since 2013. Grew up in Barrington. I always say At see in. I was made fun of by some locals to the point I now try to say At si on but I always slip up. It is def the way to tell people who grew up in area vs people who moved here.

    NJ Silica Sand Co

    Al, certain spots do look core barrens ish still like behind menatico ponds, along 55 near Sherman ave and a few other spots. Just always wonder if sections of Cumberland at one time looked no different than areas in Chatsworth for example. Saw an old photo of belle plain and it looked like the...

    NJ Silica Sand Co

    This photo is very cool having walked those tracks many times. Assuming this is all the ruins by the osprey nests about 1-2 down from port Elizabeth road. South jersey always looks so much more piney in any old photos, especially in Deep South jersey.

    Today

    When I was out in the barrens 2-3x a week I would see probably 12-24Timbers a season and neonates would take that number up several dozen more. Timbers like deep thick woods so they are seldomly actually seen. You will see pregnant females in more open areas however. Seeing them in a savannah...

    Atco Dragway to permanently close after 63 years in NJ, all remaining events for 2023 canceled

    Probably just rumor but I’m hearing from a long time atco/West Berlin resident that it’s going to be weed growing facility. I don’t like the sounds of this.

    Atco Dragway to permanently close after 63 years in NJ, all remaining events for 2023 canceled

    Scott, great info, thanks for that. I agree a bunch of autos that close to headwaters of Mullica seems odd.

    Atco Dragway to permanently close after 63 years in NJ, all remaining events for 2023 canceled

    I enjoy hearing the raceway. Found it irritating when I first moved here but like it now. I also don’t understand because it did always seem busy.

    Poking Around

    Bob, this year because of the dryness turtles are making large migrations to find water. I’m guessing maybe that is what that turtle was doing. Otherwise it may have been an animal carrying it there.

    Around Wharton Today

    Yes quite a lot of them in the core barrens. They make an unusual growl sound, which for longest time I didn’t know where it was coming from. If you come across their nest they run off pretending to have an injured wing to distract from the nest. The babies are so well camouflaged that they are...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    In Shamong we didn’t seem to get the amount that other areas did. When driving to Sweetwater river deck last night the flooding was intense around pleasent mills, I can believe they got 7 inches.

    Around Wharton Today

    Guy I wonder if we flushed the same night hawk off its nest. I was at the spot we both check, I didn’t see anything though. I’ve been seeing a ton of nighthawks on eggs, I’ve scared about 1/2 dozen off nests today. I never recalling seeing any on the ground prior.

    Burned Area Visit

    Unfortunately a different one. But if you only saw 1 I suppose the rest found relief.

    Bass River Fire

    On Saturday I walked thru the bass river fire area entering at Allen Road. Quite a hot burn, already saw signs of life coming back in, but also saw the effects of fire. Will be exploring much more there over the coming months. Did see three cooked box turtles that were about 20 feet from a water...

    Bass River Fire

    Frogs are happy in the backyard, spades, fowlers and tree frogs all going. Little under a half inch but every little bit counts right now.

    Out And About Today

    Guy did you notice the weird burned areas on edge of road near the memorial? Almost seems like they were doing backfire practice. Just little 50 foot wide sections. Someone did a number on that bridge on both sides of it. Must have happened Friday night.

    Poison Ivy and Indian Mills

    Lots of Abrams in this area, or at least a lot of signs with the name on them! Bob, this is my neck of the woods, I never knew much of the area (Indian mills) growing up but we love the area. I consider it the pines but more of the agg side. Pretty sure that road is private. I’ve driven by...
