    Where is the Shrouds house??

    The "supposed" place is a cellar hole depression in the ground on private property. Depends on where you believe he was born.

    This Weekend at Stafford Forge

    Boy, that hawk is eyeing you up! What an ecclectic mix of beauty from every angle..... I think I'm drawn to the weightlessness of the dragonfly pic and the endless sea of stars at the end. It reminds me that I'll be camping for the meteor showers in August.... :) Thanks, turtle

    I love the stream in #3......the frog (leopard?) in #7....and most definately want to swat one of the 300 or so mosquitos on the box turtle in #10. Why are they all over it? It's almost disturbing but I still thank you for sharing! Do you mind if I ask where #1 was taken? You may just...

    Pleasant Mills excursion ?

    Guy, This man who is there now has not been there for that long. I will guess that he has been there approx. 10 years.....anyone who may know more, please share. He occasionally comes into my workplace and upon queries from other members of this site I decided to just ask him for an informal...

    Hi folks... There is an opportunity for a group of us to have a tour the Pleasant Mills Playhouse. The gentleman who lives there would be willing to share with us his knowledge of its history along with his experience as owner/caretaker. I have gratefully accepted his offer and booked the...

    Flower ID

    Plant enthusiasts..... Not being very familiar with orchids, is there a way to determine by just looking at a leaf - the variety of orchid in the absence of a flower? Are these photos orchid leaves? Any help will be dutifully retained for future reference. Thanks in advance! Also....the last...

    Paddle invite...

    WR Paddle results It began as a beautiful balmy (hot) day.... perfect for being on the water. At the time, there looked to be no threat of weather. Two of us left the dock at 4:08 .... One of my favorite reasons to paddle this portion is the total quiet, apparent lack of civilization and...

    Sunrise at 1/4 Mile Road

    The whole situation is more than depressing. IF, for some magical reason, it were all to end tomorrow at 1/4 mile.....I can think of several places where the depraving (?) havoc would most likely resume..... Few areas remain sacred/untouched any longer, even on private property. turtle

    Water, stone, plants and an orchid....

    You are correct Mr Thompson! NJ476W it is! I had my GPS with me but could not get it to "connect" in the thick tree canopy. Waited for quite awhile. Ended up paddling downstream and it connected much later. I based my missed marker data on the following GPS waypoints. I have many more...

    Paddle invite...

    Hi everyone! I am prepared and planning to paddle UP the Wading River tomorrow. It is a trip that is best done with the tide since I am doing the middle portion. It usually takes 1.5 - 2 hours to paddle to Beaver Branch with minimal exploring. I plan to leave the dock at Chips Folly...

    The Jemima Cyclone

    Boyd, I'm pretty sure that is damage from the June 24th storm. There were several areas within Wharton that received some serious damage. There was also a life saving rescue in that area 2 days after the storm....it required a Coast Guard helicopter to lift out the injured party....the guy...
