I am glad you are enjoying the CD Bill. What did you have in mind with music to complement the bog sounds? Did you actually want a boogie? Or something more ambient? What did you have in mind? Jeff

Thanks for sharing your thoughts MP. I think your perspective on the situation is accurate and I agree that education is key in reducing future conflicts. I think reducing conflict is a worthy goal, I don't think there will ever be total harmony. But a little tolerance on everybody's part goes...

I saw a spring peeper tonight. I really like your recordings Bill, I don't know if I told you that before. So, I really like them. Jeff

There has been some controversy over whether these holes are pine snake or fox. I would agree with Scott that it is most likely fox. Pine snakes do remove a surprising amount of dirt from their dens from what I understand. Welcome to the site. Jeff

Yesterday (Monday) I noticed a great deal of smoke coming from west of 206 in the Medford area (approx.) and tonight I noticed that Medford/Jackson road was closed off. Did anyone hear of a fire in that area? Jeff

I posted Sunday. It is inexcusable that no one commented within 24 hours!!:mrgreen: Yes, Guy, you are correct! First guess gets it! It is sandy Ridge Here are some additional photos: The saw mill A disrespected cellar hole: Jeff

No guesses? At all? Come on now. I know some of my PBX brothers have been here.

I'm sorry Guy, I am having a little trouble understanding the question. Are you saying that you agree that savannas (as we know them) were created by altering natural savannas with dynamite for cranberry production? Jeff

I can honestly say that the idea of being decapitated while riding my motorcycle (completely legally) is terrifying. No, I will not stop visting the pines because of it but I am alot more cautious. I think the traps are designed to punish people for using motorized vehicles on public lands and...

She just leased out the front for the cafe. She moved her gift shop to the back. The cafe is doing very well she tells me. Jeff

I got out for a bit yesterday to investigate a bog on the Ore Spring branch. I vistited this spot a few weeks back at night in my bronco and had a bit of a mishap. My bronco slid off the side of a dike and got wedged against some pines. It pulled itself out but suffered some body damage. oh...

No, go down 206 south, just about any of the roads on the eastern side of 206 will get you into the swamp just south of atsion all the way down to 613. Guy just did a trip report on the great swamp with photos and maps. Jeff

Hey Bob, I suffered a serious RSI injury to both my hands a few years back (work related). It was real bad. Tendonitis and CPS. I went to four specialists before I found one that got me on successful therpy. I am now completely functional, although I still have to practice routine...

Real Nice photos Guy! It is funny, in photographs savannas look like they would be easy to walk through. Of course, you and I know better:mrgreen: You definitely covered some hard miles there. But isn't the Great Swamp, well, great? In an area known for swamps...to have an area called the...

Wow, cool! I'll have to get down that way. What main body of woods supports the wildlife in that area?

Great info Jerseyman, and terrific photos!

There is a healthy coyote population but that doesn't mean they were shipped in.

Well, there is little argument that wild fires are advantagous to the forest. The pine barrens as we know it are dependant on it. What would be cool is if the forest fire service could prepare ahead of time for a massive forest fire (particularly in the plains where the ecology is most fire...

Just, While I know Ben was told by a ranger that roads that appear on topo maps are legal to drive on, this is more of a rule of thumb than law. I am not 100% certain but I believe the law is "on designated roads" however, the roads are not designated except in some cases that prohibit...

Thanks for posting this link. The "history of fire" was particularly interesting with lots of historical photos within the film. The summery at the end did ignore the postive ecological benefits of wild fires. I wonder if the forest fire service public relations dept. tries to keep this fact...
