Jelly Balls! Sandcast, As I previously mentioned, a friend of mine looked into these jelly ball things in Batsto Lake and obtained this information from Stockton: Fresh water Bryozoans - specifically Pectinatella magnifica. Often referred to as Moss Animals they are an ancient member of...

A couple years ago a friend of mine found the jelly like substance in the water near Batsto also. I can't recall what her findings were. When I look it up in my notes, I'll let you know unless someone else tags it first.

Clean-up pics Wow! No way to adequately describe the high, the fun, the laughter that 300+ of us shared this weekend...during and after the clean up. Gipsie gets it right when she states that it is so incredibly rewarding to volunteer and accomplish good deeds to boot! This group of...

Hi all.... We have maps and marked sites, bags and dumpsters and everything else we need. Remember, that aside from large items it is perfectly acceptable for your group to take a section of trashed road, or a party spot in the woods and fill up smaller bags with bottles and cans. These...

Wherever Whenever Whomever I'm in! Someone make the call. I do like the 4th or 5th so Gloria can join us. turtle

Hmmmm.... Wings ~ yeungs! Mugs ~ hugs! Hollow legs! I hate to miss the fun.... but will be out of town. I'll raise one to the forum from a Blue Ridge mountain top. See you all Nov. 1. turtle

Yes ? :)

Bob, Next time you wander "southeast of Atsion" head south on Rt. 206 about 4 miles to Glossy Fruit.....across from the Red Barn. White peaches and corn. :) ***Tasting fluffy,wet cotton - yuck. Reminds me of hateful dental work, nothing sweet about that either. :mrgreen: turtle

Oh Ed.... If you are considering white peaches from Glossy Fruit again you should definately think about it this year (if they still have any!) The white peaches were like heavenly honey this year. I canned up about 20 qts to savor during winter snow storms :) I think we ate about 2 cases...

I'm on it! Per your fine recommendation I purchased supplies for myself and a friend for her birthday this spring.....we will be off to Ginos this week as well. Me for a white, she for a red. Thanks for the heads up. When the cranberries come in we can get even "more stupider". turtle

Not to upset any bird lovers....but a few years ago my friend asked why the preying mantis would always be perched on her screen next to the hummingbird feeder. This was her answer a few days later. I quickly made sure that my hummer feeders were elevated way above the hedges in the garden...

I thank each of you for your kindness. There is a great big beautiful world out there and each of us interprets its glory in our own ways. This forum is a perfect testament to that fact. All of you selflessly share with the universe your words, your adventures, the breathtaking photographs...

I do. PM me with your address and I will mail it to you. turtle

Come into the Batsto or Atsion office, Sunday thru Thursday. Ask the people working where the fewest campers are. They are more than happy to tell you. There will almost never be "another person" on a weekend. There is never an absolute guarantee even on weekdays either......sorry turtle

Ed, I had a rhino liner in my old pick up for 11 years and really liked it. I only had one chip on the tailgate as a result of not being careful as we unloaded a stump grinder. I gave my truck a pretty good work out and used it as a "work" truck. Otherwise it served me well and I would get...

I am packed and ready to head out for a couple of days. Hope to set my tent up between "showers".... I will be watching as well, from a remote pines location. Lovely! turtle

I would love to see the place and experience its unique nature.....I will most likely get there earlier (8-ish).....I have obligations the following morning. Hope to see you there. turtle

Bear ! ! ! Guy, Al, Jeffrey, 46er...... :) At the Lower Bank Clamhouse on June 4, 2005. I took the first two. The third photo was taken by my friend and published in the Burl. Co. times a few days later with an article. Someone saw it swim across the river to the Atlantic Co. side where it...

Wonderful trip!..... albeit the rattlesnake encounter :( I was once walking with my dog and saw her do the same dance, not realizing that she had come upon a Northen Water Snake.....and she was on a leash to boot. We saw the snake after her jump. She developed an infection from the undetected...

Lovely vistas! You get the feeling like you're the only one out there for miles and miles. Nice lake reflections too. Bass River has a varied nature program and they provide many programs for the public. Since there has been official documentation of bear in this area (past/present), the NJ...
