We got about 1 inch of rain in May and typically get 5-6. It’s once again drying up ponds, canals, etc. Woods is quite quiet, grey tree frogs barely calling because it’s so cool at night.

Bob, atv are a real problem there along with trucks. They come from the sanctuary and off the dirt jackson section. There are a lot of pbtf that breed along that cut and historically timber and pine snakes have crossed there. Every kid in sanctuary has a quad and rips thru the woods there. The...

Also trying to figure out why the Gloucester county fire was called the box turtle fire, not a fan of that name.

At some point the area from Jackson road dirt road, to Jackson road by atco raceway to Atsion will burn and will be a monster fire. It’s beyond thick back there and a real issue. There is tremendous amount of beautful wetlands there but there is plenty of thick woods as well.

Winds are pushing it towards Jackson road though so should be ok.

If this fire was on the other side of that cut, it could potentially burn all the way to Atco raceway and up to a Atsion Road but it’s pretty contained where it is because it’s not gonna jump that cut and it’s not gonna jump Jackson Road. I can see the smoke pretty good an hour ago from my...

Was actually cutts cranberries guy sitting in his truck blocking road. Was at intersection of cutts and calico.

I drove martha road and some of cutts. Was turned back though. Not much smoke at all. 679 was back fired otherwise didn’t see much signs.

Another 1000 acres of sustained pine barrens for a few decades!

Cooper branch?

Bob, you can’t miss spadefoots, big cat eyes, play dead when you pick them up and ball up. They wait years for rains like that, breed in huge numbers then disappear like nothing happened. Even with all this rain the ponds near my house soaked it up and are not holding water.

Drove around by my house and there was 100s of spadefoots out on roads and in ponds.

Coming down heavy here. Would think another 1.5-2 inches more of rain. Finally hearing frogs calling and migrating to ponds now with some minimal water in them.

Got 3 inches here, I agree we got a lot of rain overnight. This should do a good job of getting some wetlands filled up a bit. Still need 2-3 more of these.

Lots of rain on the 10 day forecast, we will see if any of it actually materializes.

This to me is the most unique and special place in all the barrens. Pygmy plains are close second.

Al, didn’t realize I typed that in but you read my mind! We stopped at that spot last Saturday and nothing was calling but it was during the day. There was enough water there though which was good.

Al are the pbtf still at People find them in core barrens but I typically see them on periphery. They are in my yard in Shamong and locally around here. Seems the peepers are picking up now, Saturdays rains got them going.

I was down in Cumberland county but it seemed like we got quite a lot of rain in Shamong.

I think southern counties have gotten hit by some more storms than up this way. I know the storms last Thursday hit more down that way.
