    Hampton Ramble

    Glo, Beautiful photos. The plant you ask about is ground pine....or Lycopodium obscurum. It forms a very attractive woodland carpet once it becomes established. Hard to propogate. Glad to see you had a blessed day in the woods. I am due for one soon.....but have been busy.....PLUS my...

    Fox hounds

    Ed, At the recommendation of a friend I just picked up a book on Amazon called Chaseworld, Foxhunting and Storytelling in New Jersey's Pine Barrens. I have not yet read it but seems like I may have some time to do so this week. I see some of these guys with their dogs occasionally in our neck...

    Fog

    Glo.....the sand does not glimmer in the fog........BUT it has a mellow crunch that echoes in the stillness. It's also getting upon the time of the year, just before the first froggies sing....that you smell the earth "thaw". Does anyone get my drift on that? It's a fresh, earthy, cold...

    fern-grass- moss

    Mosses not my specialty, but looked in my field guide and have to agree with bob's previous assessment. Commonly known as fox tail club moss. Grows in swampy, edge of swamp/ponds, and generally damp areas.

    favorite spot to stargaze in the pines

    Oh Jim, There's some around here that refer to that place as "Scott's Pit". Mrs. Ellen Scott (first introduced in Beck's Jersey Genesis-pg. 91) was murdered in the late 40s/early 50s by her nephew. He dumped her body there and the only reason that she was found was that persons searching for...

    Nahhhh.....it just makes you lucky that you aren't "ecampbell" from the "Scat I.D." thread! :rofl: Looking forward to another wonderful Lines event! See you there!

    Scat identification

    Those pesky foxes....my dog prefers the "foxy doo-doo cologne".....applied heavily behind the ears and liberally on the neck. Seriously though....don't owls regurgitate something similar to this after chowing down on some unsuspecting critter? I remember reading that the white color is an...

    Batona Trail Guide?

    Hey, Log onto www.njparksandforests.org You can then contact either Brendan T.Byrne, Wharton, or Bass River offices and they will take care of making reservations for you. I recommend calling during the week as BTB and BR offices are closed on weekends during the winter.

    Why is every road

    On July 22, 1977, four volunteer firefighters from the Eagleswood Fire Company were killed when their engine was burned over on a fire several miles from this memorial, and in 1982 a plaque was added for them. Another memorial stone was placed in front of the Forest Office. One of those lost...

    favorite spot to stargaze in the pines

    Yikes, I responded......where did it go? Try in a kayak on the Wading River by Chips Folly OR in a comfy lawnchair in the middle of Bodine Field in August for the meteor show. Piney Mike, try buying one of those cheap rafts with the lounging backs and put that in the bed of your truck.....I've...

    Jerseyman......I am so sorry.....the Valentine has " X X ", not a " I I ". I hope you still find it interesting. Woodbridge also seems to be written on the front as well. Thank you for letting me share and thanks again for your short course on NJ brick!

    Vandalized Trestle

    Friends of mine were headed out that way today for a ride. I asked them to drag out a piece of plywood, hammer, and nails for a temporary fix. I hope they or someone else gets to it before someone innocent gets hurt.

    Brick ID

    I just found a "Valentine II" in my back yard pile and I feel like I hit paydirt! Now I hid it in the garage......why? Because it's part of my huge and neverending collection of pine things, story sharers, and whimsy. My garage is getting full.........I am a pack rat of sorts. Fun.

    900 homes to be built

    I take offense to the developers insinuating that new ratables equate to lower taxes. I have never witnessed a development built that affected the taxes of a community to decrease. In the early 80's we lived in Galloway and fought the (pre-approved :ninja:) development of the Hovnanian...
