You have be careful here. I know you are talking about a sign and not actually putting a camera there but the suggestion could set a bad precedent if they ever decided to let Big Brother into the woods. The woods are where we go to get away from that sort of thing. We're talking about the...

Another thing, and the snake guys here can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the western diamond back is significantly more aggressive than our timber rattlers here in PB. Two friends are out hiking/camping when one of them gets bitten by a rattle snake that had crawled into his sleeping...

I'm not stating this as fact, but I suspect it that the bite part of the video (the beginning) might have been staged after the fact. A re-enactment. Seemed a little fake compared to the rest of the video. Jeff

Welcome to the forum Mike. When DeMarco owned that "quarry" it was not public access and was not used by the public. I had been back there when DeMarco owned it and I didn't recall seeing any evidence of people hanging out back there. When the NJCF bought it a few years back they made the...

Glad you enjoyed the reports, Bill. Scott was telling us about you, and speaking very highly of you on this past hike. Jeff

I have some in my yard. I will have to see if they have blossomed.

:mrgreen:That was the funniest scene in that movie. Do you all realize that there has never been a disscusion of beaver on this forum that hasn't had a joke in it at least once. Don't get me wrong, I'm guilty too and it is funny. I think our sense of humor is fully mature by 8th grade and we...

Dave, those are probably orb weavers. They get real big. I've walked into a few webs, ended up them on me and have not been bit...shocked a little maybe. They are not deadly. Jeff

What was great about this hike, in my opinion, was the mix we witnessed of human impact on the pines and very wild "virgin" woods. There was a large section that is very well protected by a river, and private land along the outskirts. The result was an old cedar swamp with almost no signs of...

I'd like to see that book as well. There was a very large disscussion about this canal. I led a PBX hike that inclueded a large portion of this canal as well. Ben and I traced it to Junction road once. The amount of work involved.. such an undertaking for what would seem to be such an...

I heard a pine snake do a very conviencing rattle against some leaves once, made me second guess it. I have also heard a rattlesnake rattle, so I have some comparison. Not the same of course but enough to make you hesitate.

I meant a sign to warn motorists of the oncoming danger more that a sign to keep people from making it worse. Jeff

True, but in this case there was a specific inncident that has advanced it's slow errosion way beyond what it was. I remember it always being bad, even 10 to fifteen years ago, but now it is seriously dangerous. I can appreciate the state not having the funds at the moment. Maybe we could...

:siren: I was on Tuckerton road going from Carranza to high crossing. Shortly before arriving at High Crossing there is a sudden descent that is typically subject to errossion. Unfortuntely it is one of those deals where you don't see it till you are on top of it. Many of you must know where...

Very Nice. Set up the booth. It's that good!

How are you making out Mike? do you still need help?

Nice report Guy. Glad your car seems to be runnning well now. Like Scott, I really like that pic of the deer. You might recall that I mentioned I had been to that structure in the past, a few years back. I recall that there was something to be seen along the right side in the back just...

Welcome to the forum! Great paragraph. It is true, as Bob was eluding to, that the interior of the pines is a world apart from the communities on the fringes. The communities within the pines are very much as you describe. The true pineys are native blood and the term has been adopted with...

Great report JM. As you might be aware, I have searched that area quite a bit. Thanks for posting the 1849 map. I had never seen that map before and it confirms areas where I (and others) have located ruin remains. They are little more than subtle depressions now. I would be very curious to...
