I canoed/waded Springers brook from hampton Road to almost the Batsto River when i was 14 and bailed about half a mile before they connected.It was quite bad.There is no stone bridge and I remember no abutments.Possibly a wooden bridge at one time.I didn't know enough back then to recognize a...

Never have gotten ticks or chiggers after spraying with that stuff.Perhaps they've evolved resistance to it or maybe the resisitance was there all along and it's coming to the fore now? :-)

You'd think after 200,000,000 years they'd of evolved some sort of ballast system to keep em from flipping like that or at least a way of righting themselves.Wonder their not extinct.

I have been this close to several and I think this one picked a bad spot.His/her camo does not work well here.I almost stpped on one of the ones I encountered.In dappled sunlight they disappear. I saw it's ear flick as my boot was coming down on it.It was in an old fire break i was using as a...

I have peremethrin but had stupidly taken it out of the truck and put it in the house.When I got to the woods I intended to spray (I always forget to spray in advance like I"m supposed to) and then I realized I left it home. I have picked as much as 80 ticks off of me at one time.I do believe...

just picked 15 off of me and thats not counting my clothes which are outside trill tomorrows wash

Don you are definitely insane:-)....Cool!

This site looks like FORWARD only it does it on the aerials whereas after using FORWARD to get the coords I enter the coords into Topofusion to show me what I"m dealing with. Great site.I"ll try it next time I plot if I can just figure out how to get the flag to stay where I drop it.It keeps...

I was going to ask how long as a pole but it appears to be the same as a rod and I have used rods and know their 16.5 ft.Wonder where that originally came from and why is a chain 66 ft?

It is quite a purty area and poison ivy is actually a beautiful plant,especially in the fall but it'll blister me right up given the opportunity.I would do it again if I had gloves on but the mud was too thick to walk through,if I could of grabbed stuff for support it would have been better but...

Actually you may be right.Looking at the topo map and my tracks I never made it to the Wesickaman channel which appears to be west of the ridge which would be the swamp Guy and I crossed a year or so back.I was east of the Ridge which would technically be this Mynie Spring run.There was current...

http://binged.it/1ETzFEW Looks like what might be a purty vernal in the area Guy and I missed on our first trip out there.

I was here http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.756669608577134&lng=-74.73561722438814&z=17&type=nj2007&gpx= and the swamp is mostly maple with an occasional big cedar.all the trees are fairly large.

I like the names people give to places to try and make them desirable sound places to settle.The Barrens are not real "fruitful" excepting blueberries and cranberries much like when the Vikings named Greenland which is nothing but an ice covered waste except for a small strip on the southern...

Where I was I"m quite sure there was never a town there but I see that Fruitland is an old name for Atsion.I was west of 206 and more then a mile as the crow flies from the Ranger station. A poison ivy covered morass with surprisingly large trees for an area so close to an iron furnace.

You are doing very well on manual! Nice!

We didn't cross the main swamp,we crossed the western side and went as far as the middle ridge but themain swamp where the creek if you want to call it that runs through,we didn't cross that half.It's only about 600 ft from the stone on the swamps edge to the ridge but it's a mean 600 feet.I...

where is Fruitland? I know I"ve seen it on a map before but can't place it.

Guy have you ever crossed Wesickaman Swamp west of the stone? It was bad,I"ve been in harder but the ivy was on almost every available handhold and hummock.I haven't got it so I must have been very careful.A couple of times I leaned on trunks only to look up and see I was on a hairy vine and I...

Whats even more odd is my Buddy missed that shed as well.He collects them and has already found half a dozen this year. Were you down in the Wesickaman swamp proper? It's rough and full of Poison Ivy
