    Apple Pie Fire Tower - Fence/Gate being installed?

    It seems as if when it comes to a dollar or a nice night sky the dollar wins every time,even if it's only worth a quarter any more.They could actually save money and get better lighting with sodium vapor lights but I guess their not as pretty as the eye burning bright lights used in most parking...

    Pine Barren Flora

    Unfortunately Hognoses often do their act too well. I have heard many a story by ignorant people of how they dispatched a spitting cobra or the fearsome death adder when I could tell by the description it was a Hognose. Their act might scare a bird or maybe a coyote but it appears fear just...

    Apple Pie Fire Tower - Fence/Gate being installed?

    over this way at Moores Beach and Thompsons beach is nice except for the Prison to the north which messes up that horizon.Turkey point is great but you can see Fortescue in one direction and Bivalve in the other but neither one of those places puts out a tremendous amount of light. My favorite...

    Winslow glassworks

My Dad worked the chainsaw and for years we lived off of trees that had been dropped along the local power lines.The folks who ran the power lines went on a widening program and we reaped the benefits.Me...

    Apple Pie Fire Tower - Fence/Gate being installed?

    I would disagree with the statement about no light pollution.The pines may not put out a lot of pollution but between Philly and the NJ suburban sprawl that surrounds it and the NJ shore towns,Atlantic City,Toms River etc.the light pollution is quite bad.The best area I have seen in NJ for low...

    brookbrae question?

    You are not that far from a house at the ruins.If you walk behind the ruins and look through the woods to the left you can make out a field that has a house at the far left side of it.if you heard noise coming from the south it may have been at this house.

    We have a rooster here in Laurel lake that also starts obnoxiously early but he's a half mile down the road and I can't hear him till I actually go outside.far enough away not to bother me but I wonder how the next door neighbors put up with it.

    Report: Missing Franklin girl found by hunter

    I would assume if she had been in the woods for ten days and wasn't a survival expert she'd be in pretty rough condition.You'd of thought the chiggers would have taken the best of her by now.
