The annual Wharton Cleanup is scheduled for this Sunday 10-23-05. The meeting spot is the Atsion Ranger Station at 9:30 a.m. This is a heavy duty cleanup and you can haul in anything you can drag or carry with your truck. It is a good bunch of people with the bulk of the workers last year...

Declination, the difference between magnetic and true is constantly increasing. A USGS map indicates the declination for the year the map was prepared only. NOAA navigational charts indicate the declination at the time the map was prepared and give you the annual increase. Along our coast the...

Unfortunately I have to go to a wedding today. Guy, I will leave an adjustable height tripod on my porch this morning. I know I might be a little out of your way but if you need it come get it and drop it on the porch whenever you are around again. Scott

Guy I have been in saltwater fishing mode since May and haven't posted much but my wife and I still walk each week night down here in Wharton. I would like to proudly announce that we have our first batch of chiggers. A light batch but they are officially out there. The deer flies are...

Amen Steve. When I hunt in Pa. I go out of my way when talking to "locals" in the hunting camps and local bars to explain that I am from SOUTH Jersey, not the other Jersey. It is amazing how far the stigma of arrogance associated with New Jerseyites travels deep in to the Pa. deer woods. Of...

Sue Check my earlier post. I gave the exact season information and the Fish and Wildlife link to the season and bag limits. Scott

We still snapper down here and all you need is a fishing license, not a trapping license. You are allowed 3 snappers a day with no size limit. The season was from 1-1-05 to 4-30-05 and will reopen and run from 6-16-05 to 12-31-05. Bull and green frogs are in from 7-1-05 to 12-31-05 and you...

The Twp. woods cleanup scheduled for 4-30-05 out of Clementon gun Club in Atco has been cancelled again due to the threat of rain. I will post a new date as soon as I get one from the Env. Commission for anyone who was figuring on going. Scott

The best tide source I have found is www.saltwatertides.com It has tidal info for every state and at multiple locations along each body of water including rivers and streams. Scott

I grew up in Gibbsboro and hunted that landfill for deer and small game starting in 1968. It was owned by the Buzby Brothers. The deer have been there at least that long. My father dropped me off one night to bowhunt there with a friend of mine and we got stalked by a pack of dogs that used to...

As Guy knows, I am a licensed land surveyor and the term "native stone" to surveyors means the original stone, whatever the material. When the State surveyed Wharton and other tracts they would not remove or disturb native corners. If the state was to share a common coerner with private...

Bob, If you are familiar with NJDEP Imap, checkout the 2002 image versus the 1995 image at x coord 403426, y coord 321285. Scott

I am talking about the one on Chew Rd., not Wade Salvage on Jackson Rd.

Yes Bob, I am sure. I have a 1977 aerial of the site at home showing the farmhouse that is now boarded up and just a few scattered cars in the vicinity of Myers' current dwelling to the west. I figure he started in early to mid 1970's, so you can assume that vehicles that were being driven in...

I can tell you that the best time to explore is now or in the fall. The only place I have been to with a worse mosquitoe population is the Everglades. In broad daylight back in in the marshes they will drive you right out. I was down there in '86 on some of the Park System trails and it...

The Waterford Township Env. Commission Chairman advised me last night that the cleanup has been postponed until Saturday 4-30-05. He also told me that they will be able to take in all types of metal, recylclables and all types of general trash. He said they will have a 30 yd. dumpster. He...

Looking at the forecast, I think they are going to have to go for the rain date of 4-9. Typically this is a light duty girlyscout kind of cleanup with a lot of roadside trash getting picked up. It is still very beneficial. The W.T. Env. Commission was excited last year when they heard about...

I am posting an email I received from the Waterford Township Environmental Commission regarding their cleanup on Saturday 4-2-05.It is based at the Clementon Gun Club in Atco. Last year I participated in a large scale Wharton cleanup in November at Atsion . The cleanup was organized by the...

Guy and I share a similar interest in finding old survey markers. I enjoy it because I am a land surveyor and I love being in the woods as much as possible. I know Guy loves the woods as much as I do and he has accumulated a wealth of skills in finding these markers over the years.. Me and...
