    Washington Tavern

    I have also always heard that ruin to be Washington tavern.It's definitely Washington and it's the largest foundation there so i would presume it's the tavern.

    South Jersey Trailheads Map

    Many of the red trails they show on this map are driveable dirt roads.The cinder trail is named that because it's a road surfaced with slag. I had forgot about Pickle Pond Trail.They had just made that trail about the time I moved out of Belleplain.I walked it a few times,once to get to a really...

    PS park down at east Creek lake trailhead at the SW corner of the lak where the boat ramp is and you won't have to pay any fee to hike the trail.In summer you have to pay to get into Nummy.

    South Jersey Trailheads Map

    Geese

    Technically the hemlock I believe would be native, at least to North Jersey anyway but you'll never find one of those guys in the woods down here unless someones planted it.Now the Norway Spruce are definitely foreign :-) and when I see one of those in the woods I immediately look for a cellar...

    Geese

    South Jersey Trailheads Map

    There is a seven mile loop trail in Belleplain state forest that goes from lake Nummy to East Creek lake and back up the other side of savages Run.It's blazed white.You appear to have missed that one.Great map by the way.

    More Railroad shots

    If your married I"d suggest also to get Momma to give you a once over as soon as you get home.A shower will not get rid of most ticks.They hang right on and then their clean ticks but still ticks.

One brand name it goes by is Duranon,another is Permanone but there are several more.It can be bought at many Sporting Goods stores including Dicks also in the Walmart Camping section.Yopu spray it on your clothes and let...

    Observations of core area Pine Barrens water

    I know that on the Hartman maps as well as other old maps there are many areas listed as ponds and running streams that today are dry all year long. I Have found old wells that appear to be thirty feet deep and supposedly once held water but they are all dry now.I don't have the data to back it...

    Death of a Pine Snake

    The snake probably died from infection caused by the repeated incisions to keep replacing the implant so they could track it and they happened to find it on a road.I know of at least one instance of a pine snake dying from infection caused by an implant.

    Death of a Pine Snake

    You don't think this could in reality be about the evil of off-road vehicles or perhaps any vehicles in the Pine Barrens do you? I almost feel like I"ve been through a "reeducation class" now. I"m going to DMV to turn my license in now.I already feel better.
