National Parks bill for rescue services. Besides wondering what parent would allow their children on a river on the eve of a potential hurricane, just before dark, without lifejackets or flashlights......:rolleyes:...... If the State of NJ could fine folks for stupidity there would be no budget...

Hi, When you walk in the front door (as seen in the last photo of Pine Baron's), you are in the main room with 2 sets of bunk beds and a fireplace, wooden table and chairs. There is a small kitchen and a bathroom with toilet and sink in the right-hand portion of the cabin. Showers are down at...

Here is a photo of the Hope house/Voss homestead less than a week before it burned. And here it is a few days later...... ouch. turtle

Hi Stan, If you enjoy the pines and are looking to volunteer you will find plenty of opportunity to do so through this site. Lots of advance postings for get-togethers, clean-ups and trail work. We manage to wander the pines in various manners (foot-wheels-fins-etc.) Welcome and enjoy your...

oji, Yeah......please consider the purchase. Being on the water opens up a whole other world of exploring whatever it is that you enjoy looking for. Besides, unless you are on the upper Wading on a weekend you will never have the traffic of a roadway in NJ. I tend to stick to weekdays or...

Theressa, I was under the impression that the Fords lived a little further up the road N/NW in "Tylertown" area. There are still Fords and decendents on Bulltown Rd. Are you related? turtle

Yes Bob, that is it. I wonder why the photos don't come up? I've probably omitted another important step in the photo pasting process....this happens to me occasionally.:bang: So it must be a transitional plant, growing where truly brackish water is....not too much salinity/fresh? I'll...

Tom and Bob, Is this plant common? I recognized it as a cultivated plant that I recall as "sea holly". I do not remember seeing it previously on the Mullica.....but then I have never been to this spot at this time in the past. It is beautiful and different. and with the...

Hi PB Check out a recent report and perhaps contact MarkBNJ on this site. He was on the Mullica 8/16 and had no trouble with portages..... (Nature & Environment / "Noah" post #15) With the continuing rain it doesn't seem that you should have a problem. You may get some showers at...

I didn't paddle to the end. I was on this trip by myself and thought it best to save it for when I had company with me. The canal is deep at high tide. Like I mentioned in post 1, I have been to the canal on land...but it's been a few years. I will make the trip back before the season is...

Hi everyone.... I paddled up-river from Chips Folly to Beaver Branch this week. I came upon a canal that I had seen previously from land, but never from "sea". On topos the canal is across from Charcoal Landing. I believe the road closest to the canal (west of its end and inland) is the Old...

Hi, just a little background on the pic from post #3......Our garage is situated about 30' from the woods......a good mix of many environments. No obvious creeks or streams running through, but plenty of seasonally wet areas with swamp included. The garage is old, but sound. Many critters...

Clementon Gun Club ? ? ? !!! That answer won me some $$$ a few months back. Does it win here ? OK....I don't know the answer but I looked it up. I will leave it to the minds that operate effectively on Monday evenings to answer this one. turtle

We saw some on the upper Mullica a few weeks back. They were hovering over the lily pads I'm guessing they were feeding/watering. (times like those that I wish I had a better camera) It was interesting to follow their activities. Good shots! turtle

We call the velvet ants "cow killers"...they are nasty. I particularly love the colors already of the low bush blueberry - almost "Warhol-ish" when mixed with the leaf green colors. And there is no doubt that the second picture of the pbtf takes the cake. I have expected to see more herp...

My readings indicate that rivers flow into larger rivers, bays, oceans....."criks" flow into rivers or larger streams. My belief is that the name lies in the ultimate destination..... However, you are right on with the Batsto/Atsion thing. Perhaps scientifically there is no clear-cut...

I admire folks such as yourself who have the quick reference knowledge for the plant community. Your thread with oji and your travels with Guy along with my friends who enjoy paddling reminded me how much fun one can have in just a few hours time. There is a creek for every tide. I am sure...

This has been a fantastic week on the water. By blessing and chance I had the rare opportunity to spend time on 2 rivers and 4 creeks. Inspiration came by way of plant discussions all over this site and chance came unexpectedly all week long as I continually found myself with free...

#131 looks similar to wormwood / mugwort (Artemisia var. #132 is a mullein. They are biennial and in their second year send up a tall (4-6 ft.) stem filled with pale yellow flowers. The basal leaves also stay soft and fuzzy. It is reputed that the Native Americans used them to line their...
