    High Crossing never disappoints

    Is that the puddle south of high crossing. I've been meaning to head out there since they "fixed" it but haven't had a chance. I can see some work had been done.

    Atsion: Old and Renewed

    Don, very nice job. Not only is it very accurate and detailed but the history on each building is great. BTW the red cedar frame looks great around it too.

    Atsion: Old and Renewed

    I do a lot of driving and whenever I'm using the GPS its much easier for me to keep where I m going at the top and follow the turns. But when I zoom out I have make north up to understand where I'm at in relation to everything else. If I don't zoom out and set north and look at the map I could...

    Lock's Bridge

    I've been following this thread also. Before I even found this forum this was one of my favorite places to go. I was even there this weekend and I've always wondered what was there. it reminds me of Goshen pond. And if you look at Google Earth it looks the same too. You can almost tell where...

    Aerial America

    Just watched the show on the Smithsonian Channel. Basically its all footage from drones but gives a lot of history of NJ. It includes the pine barrens and has footage of Batsto. I think it comes back on Tuesday. I'm going to set my DVR

    Penn Swamp Branch, a PBX Explore

    My first impression was sap but I'm thinking I'm wrong. Either way I'm thinking I missed out on great time judging by all the great pics.

    Where is this?

    Yes he learned a lesson that's for sure. Looking at the picture it looks like he was coming in fast and is sitting on the frame. I'm sure he did some more damage underneath if that's the case. He's lucky it's dry out that puddle could easily be over the hood and killed the engine too.

    Where is this?

    I've got a lifted jeep and went around that hole. I'm pretty sure those logs were already in there too

    Where is this?

    That's the good thing about spring time fires. The water is usually high enough to protect the swamps. Summer time is a different story. The exposed roots don't stand a chance and takes a lifetime to recover if it ever does at all

    Where is this?

    Doesn't look burnt there. Must have been wet enough to keep it out of the swamp

    Consuming pine pollen

    The pines stopped here about 2 weeks ago but untl the rain a couple of days ago every time I drive down my street I would kick up a cloud of dust and you could see my tire marks in the pollen on the street.

    My First Rattle Snake

    I was thinking the same thing. A snake that size would have a large rattle. A loud hissing sound would sound a lot like a rattle. I'm sure over years of evolution Pine snakes use that confusion to their advantage. If it looks like a rattle snake, acts like a rattlesnake and sounds like one then...

    Study: Fire suppression has killed Wisconsin's pine barrens

    I agree some what. Fire suppression is just one factor that kills the pine barrens. Urban sprawl is just as much to blame If not more. Large tracks are clear cut and developed whether it's commercial or residential. What's left is small parcels that are left to be "green acres" that can't...

    Where is this?

    Don't know the name of it but it looks like the one on Atsion Rd next to the fields.

    Forest Fire at Atsion

    Looks close to the surface so it should just grow out as it heals. The only ones I have that didn't involved deep cuts. I would still try to clean it out as unpleasant as it is.

    Eyes bigger than his stomach

    Wait, how was he caught? Was that the bait or was he still hungry?

    Where is this?

    I was thinking Rosedale in Waterford but I think you're right about Chatsworth. I know I've driven past it a million times just can't place it.
