I think by Carranza road you are referring to route 563 which is called carranza road on MSN maps for some reason. We refer to Carranza road as the one that runs from Tabernacle to speedwell/friendship road. Pleasant Mills road is most often referred to as 542. That is a long stretch and is...

That was good of you to do that and, echoing Guy's comment, they really did luck out to find you there. So they drove all the way from NY. Wow! That is pretty cool, and pretty cool of his parents. Jeff

I got out this morning to do some fishing and to investigate the large bog just north west of the lake. I only spent a small amount of time in Chatsworth lake as I needed to allocate plenty of time of the bog. However, the fish were biting in a big way. I had approx. 12 catches, mostly small...

I see Bob remembers our conversation at the start of the last PBX hike. Yes, Alder. So everyone understands, I kept seeing catkins on scrub oak and saying "look, there's alder", however, I should point out that catkins exist on Alder also and I was fresh from seeing a bunch near friendship and...

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I hope I'm not the only one who used to practice saying that as a kid? Jeff

Great photos. I have a screened/glassed in sunroom off of the upper level of my house and I have a bunch of bird feeders out there. Most every morning I hang out with my son and identify birds with the aid of a bird book. Really great photos, and the landscape photos were very nice as well, I...

I noticed that Pinebarrens canoe rental had a sign directing traffic toward Micks. I didn't realize they were bought out. The reasons might be personal rather than strickly economics. For example maybe the Pinebarrens owner was getting ready to retire or is a family member of the Micks. Who...

Those are red belly turtles. Probably the most common turtle in the pinebarrens. Large and aquatic. Jeff

I assume you recovered okay and were in fact negitive. I am surprised the doctor did not prescribe anti-biotics. My experience has been that anti-biotics are prescribed often, even for precautionary reasons (I am currently on antibiotics due to sore throat type symptoms). When i was a little...

I agree the oswego should be runnning well. We have had alot of rain. Perhaps Bob's theory is correct. there are guidelines for water levels that can be seen from various dams/bridges but the easy way is just to call the liveries, like Micks, and ask "how's the water levels in the Oswego...

Nice report Guy. very interesting area. It is funny, on the last PBX hike Paul was telling me he used to have lady slippers growing in his yard. I thought that was odd becuase I have only seen them in the deep woods. Well, sure enough, my son and I were walking around my property saying...

Yes, as a matter of fact, now that you mention it, Guy turned to me and said "what is that?" and then immeditely assumed it was sugar sand through the trees. I agreed with him, but now looking back it must have been the camper. Jeff

Yesterday I got out for a bit and took some photos. Right near India Sink bog mentioned in the pbx thread was this We must have turned just before seeing this on the hike. Given it's close proximity to Paradise Lakes campground, it is easy to make assumptions abouts it's origin. It...

It probably was Lee that told me of the musky in Mirror lake, but then again, maybe not. Lee is always pushing Lebanon lake and PL as they are closer to his shop. Yeah, I know the photo. That is a nice one. I think that Pittman is related to Ace Pittman of snake hunting fame. but there is...

I don't get it either. Is there something in those bags that is illegal to throw away in the trash? weird

Al, that was going to be my first candidate for the title but I got too tired to post it last night. Jeff

Mirror lake in Browns Mills was rumored to have musky, and I think the DEP confirmed it. I never caught one there or saw anybody catch one.

Okay, this might be fun, or this might just be tedious. Who can identify the largest contiguous cedar swamp in the pinebarrens? the rules: 1) It may be fragmented by savannas or bodies of water or dirt roads/highways but not development or pine forest or maple/gum forests. 2)the pine...
