Thanks guys, Is it possible that I picked it up today and it fed to engorgement that fast, or is it likely that I picked it up a few days ago and missed it? Seems awfully fast for it to feed that much. My wife barely touched it with the tweezers and it fell right off. Thanks again for the...

Hey folks, After a day of rompin around the pines, I came home and asked my wife to check me. I had a small bruise, almost like someone hit me with a wet towel, and in the middle, a tick that was partly to fully engorged. I've seen my share of ticks, but this one is very tiny. I reversed my...

Adam, here is a page with lots of information on swamp pink: http://www.fws.gov/northeast/njfieldoffice/Endangered/swamppink.html

I visited Webbs Mill Bog some time ago, and would like to go again. Just one question-is it accessible from any other points beside parking a car right on 539? I'm always a little weary parking on that road.

Thanks Strom!

Chase, your work is incredible!

Those are the places I'm looking for! Those extensive cedar swamp areas!

I wonder how far along they are to developing a new vaccine for Lyme disease?

Man, I couldn't imagine putting my hands in front of those machines day in and day out without having nightmares once in a while.

I attended, my first time there. Loved it! I'm looking forward to going again next year. I attended the Black Bear talk, Turtles, Wilderness Survival, Earth Wind and Ice, and New Jersey's Biodiversity. I really enjoyed seeing you again Turtle and meeting Spung Man and Rayven. I feel fortunate to...

Hi GermanG, Thanks for your response. Hope you understand that I am still learning here, and that my questions aren't meant to be argumentative. I'm genuinely interested in discussing this to learn more about how the land is preserved. One or two things that I wanted to reply to/ask about...

Thank you Manumuskin!

This is something that I was wondering myself. I am by no means an expert on the ecology of the Pine Barrens, but the question posted by dragoncjo, and others similar to it, have crossed my mind several times while reading this thread. The UN designated the Pine Barrens as a globally...

Manumuskin, thanks for that tip! Regarding that 736-acre cedar swamp, are there any of the marked trails that will keep us going through a large part of that area? I'm ashamed to say that I have not yet visited Lebanon SF!

I love the smell of ozone after a thunderstorm as well. It's a heavy smell, not sweet or sour, but almost like a wet woody smell with some light muskiness thrown in.

Thanks, everyone, for your help! Belleplain is a definite on our list. We were going to save it for the fall because of the reputation for bugs, ticks and spectacular fall colors, but maybe we'll have to get down there sooner. I'm guessing that Brendan Byrne isn't our best bet for shady areas...

Hey Folks, My wife and I have been talking about our continued excursions as the summer approaches, and it brought me to consider that we'd probably be facing a lot of sun exposure as we hiked. I was wondering if anyone could recommend trails in the Pinelands that were predominantly cedar...

That is sad

Hey GermanG, No problem! Like I said in the other post, I really appreciate you taking the time to post that advisory. We had a great time, although, for some reason, I thought that they were burning a relatively small area. Imagine our surprise when we started hiking and we saw such a large...
