How do you set one up?

It is possible in the winter and spring, but the water does get thin in the summer and fall. If you don't mind a little work, low water has it's advantages as Jeff's post pointed out. Low water exposed old bridge foundations. We allow 4 hours to Quaker Bridge. That's probably long but we are...

Tom, that's a good place to put in and paddle about. For a trip we put in here: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.78562836215127&lng=-74.65836524963379&z=17&type=k&gpx= And take out here, about 1 1/2 hours leisurly paddle, listening and observing, and sometimes continuing on to Quaker...

Then and now

I agree, otter. I've only seen them in the water. The videos helped alot. I would probably regurgitate fish scales also, but they make it through my dogs, somewhat unplesantly.

The little Jack is the boss.

It is an escape for me to another world, except for the intrusion of the noise of an occasional jet. Yes, a howl in the east and then one to the north. There are many wild canines out there, there identification is a matter of dispute, but some are certainly coyotes. I've seen some strange...

I see piles of fish scales everywhere around the bogs. I am assuming it is a result of their feeding. I have even been lucky enough to see them at times, beaver too.

Blazing Saddles comes to mind. :)

Monday morning we took a slow walk through my favorite place in the pines, spending as much time listening as looking. A cold but very still morning A stregically placed bridge A bog asleep, almost. The range of contrast was a challenge to the camera. An upwelling from an...

It did appear that whatever it was it was pulling itself across the ice on it's belly. I increased the contrast on the following pictures to highlight the trail.

The slide mark was about 8 to 10 inches wide, probably more on the 8 inch side. What first came to mind is how walruses move on land (or ice). I thought otter and beaver would walk and just leave a tail drag.

This strange trail over the ice went into an unfrozen upwelling from another bog. Beavers walk although they drag their tail, but the motion that created this looks different.

That lake is an abandoned bog at Friendship.

This was building up for quite some time but no one was watching the store.

Amazing, the economy the way it is and bankruptcies and nobody wants to deal. I'd buy an SUV too but the most GM will do is add $300 to my earnings. I think I'll just keep my money.

Were there any good deals? I'm looking for a 32" tv.

I forgot to mention, this morning they were hunting fox hounds near Friendship. I could hear them howling as I hiked the bogs. Quite an experience.

I'll have to check it out. I wonder how the gun club feels about it? I'm out that way almost every day hiking the bogs. It sure is wet. I've been trying to do the loop from the beaver pond (Sandy Ridge Road) to the gun club to Alloways rock and back through the berms on the old bogs but it is...
