    Another Boat Dumped in the Woods

    The boat is still out there. I just saw it. I assume the owner has to remove it and just hasn't done it yet.

    I saw that too. I hope the fine is a substantial one.

    Turning cranberry bogs into developments

    Good point. I guess a cranberry bog would absorb all of that. But a highland crop or an orchard might be a better choice. Runoff would be less of an impact.

    Turning cranberry bogs into developments

    I can't help but think. If you built a few condos around a cranberry bog or any type of crop for that matter. How would it be zoned? It is an active farm. It could save a lot on taxes and instead of having community land that you have to pay association fees for it's up keep instead would be an...

    Fire breaks

    I agree. A lot of people feel that they can do anything to the pines and it will just bounce back. There are plenty of other fires that I was on where a new road was made but they never turned into anything like 1/4 mile. I have learned a lot just by cruising around this forum and listening...

    Fire breaks

    Ok, I feel like I have to chime in. First let me give you a quick review on my background. I was a very active member of the FFS for over 15 years until family and work commitments forced me to step back. I have fought fires not only in the pine barrens but in many other states as well. In...

    Blast from the past

    In the late 70's and early 80's my father used to take me surf fishing there all the time. The beach access used to be right there in the parking lot(which you can see in this picture) and the castle was the last building you would see before driving onto the beach.

    The NEW Beer Thread

    Flying Fish brewery gets a bigger home I know I am upset about this, their old brewery was right across the street from my shop. Every time that they had a batch going I could that was all I could smell. In the last month or so I haven't noticed it, I figured that they made the move.:(

    Burnt Mill Road

    Yes I already knew that but it sounds like you even more experience with it. I remember them building it when I was a kid. I used to see all the equipment on the bus ride to school in Waterford (the old one) and pretty much all of town was torn up for the sewer lines. In the 90's I was very...

    Burnt Mill Road

    Teegate, that's the place. Largo, My daughter is in her second year there so i am still on the small fields. Its funny right now the paved road is worse than the dirt road. I tried taking the dirt road home last year and couldn't. This spring, when it was dry I went down there and there was...

    Burnt Mill Road

    I just took my daughter to her first soccer practice at the end of Burnt Mill Road in Waterford Township last week. To my surprise I noticed a mound of gravel where it changes over to dirt. I decided to take this way home since it is shorter to cut through the woods than it is to loop around...

    Black Bear Alert Waterford Twp. (Jackson Rd. area)

    Yep, I think they realized that they over reacted. As far as I know they reversed 911 called everyone in the Atco area, locked down Thomas Richards school and called all the emergency #'s for students. My shop received a call from the school district saying the police confirmed a bear sighting...

    Friday Failed Frog Find

    I have a small retention pond right behind my house and listen to them when I go to bed, two nights ago I heard my first PBTF:cool: . When they start back up I can let you know, maybe they will be on the same schedule at Friendship Bogs. John

    Friday Failed Frog Find

    Yes, I think the cooler weather sent the frogs into hiding. Two nights ago when it was really humid at night they out in full force, but the last two nights they have been silent around my way too.

    Its a Frog Slog!

    Thanks Rednedck, that was interesting reading. I didn't realize that they were so many "hotspots" for PBTF. Some of them are in walking distance for me too. I have a retention pond right behind my house which has several species of frogs in it. I have been able to identify the spring peepers...

    Kindle users?

    I think it depends on what you plan to do with it. Both my wife and I have a Kindle. I have the Kindle Fire and she has a regular Kindle. I use the Fire for just about everything from surfing the web, reading books and storing my music. It is more of a replacement to my computer. The screen...
