Is the huge beaver-lodge-ominium still there a little upstream of Lock's? That used to be one of the biggest around. I fished the hell out of the Lock's area over the years trying to catch one of those deep woods chain pickerel but never managed a big one. I got a 26" 4.5 lber mounted out of...

We used to call that road the "Water Road" back in the 80's. Starting at 206 and going out to Constable bridge there were uncountable slop holes and running water crossings especially about a mile east of the turn off for the bogs that you guys went to.There were a couple of 1/4 mile...

My wife and I and the dog just got back from a short walk off 206 and we got a load of chiggers that looked like something out of a horror movie. The dog is springer and all his white hair looked like it was moving without him! My wife and I sprayed our boots and pants but it didn't matter. We...

Guy: I still haven't had the opportunity to ask Frank Rusnak about the airstrip. If I had to guess, which I am doing now, it may have been set up for use by the Forest Fire Service . Rusnak's have always cooperated with those guys allowing them to park equipment on their property etc. when...

Guy I checked out the area at the beginning of Rockwood road today on the NJDEP imap 2002 digital aerials to refresh my memory.I haven't been back there in a long time. It looks like two houses on the left as you go in. These residents are part of the town of Hammonton.I know they're...

Guy Rockwood Road (leading to Rockwood) occasionally has a sign on it depending on the a-hole per square mile density and it is located about a mile north of Chew Road on Rte. 206. It is just past the active blueberry farms that you see on both sides of 206. Turn down Rockwood Rd. and you will...

I think it is union rules. Chiggers are demanding more time on the humans and we are seeing a shift change. I just got back from a walk back in Parkdale about an hour ago and me and my wife were crawling with chiggers. We stayed on sand roads the whole time except for climbing in and out of...

I always look at things stripped down to their most basic elements. I learned early on that the basic Republican credo is minimize government's involvement in the lives of the people and minimize the "programs" within the government that support those who can't seem or don't want to to support...

Gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, bleach or any nasty harmful substance will do. The only trick is to apply it while they are still walking around on you within an hour or two of being infested..I scrub and scrape like crazy with alcohol immediately after being exposed and then take a hot shower...

I noticed the same thing this year. The wild highbush blueberries didn't seem to produce this year at all. I too have a couple of good spots around Parkdale and they are sparse. Maybe it was the wet spring and summer? I did find a small area near my house where the lowbush are doing okay and I...

Well I spent an hour and half pitting those b stards one at a time but the finished product is looking real good. There has got to be a better way and a regular cherry pitter doesn't look it will handle the small wild ones. I used the link that Steve posted and used that recipe for cherry jam...

My wife and I just picked about 2 quarts of wild cherries in the woods near my house. It looks like a heavier year than normal.I left alot hanging. Instead of just sitting around eating them as a snack like we usually do, I wanted to try something different with them this time. Anybody know...

Fish Ladders Here is the NJDEP press release from this week about the proposed fish ladder at Batsto. There was also an article in the AC Press this week about the actual construction of the ladder having to match the rustic character of Batsto Village. The stages in the ladder are going to...

Reply to Guy; Yes Guy, that was Harry Torney. He moved to Pa. for awhile in the 80's with his parents but he is back in the area now. I saw him at a friends house about two years ago. I also was friendly with his brother Mike who was killed in a freak accident in an old Jeep Commando. Mike...

This post brings back a lot of good memories of an old 4x4 club that I used to hang with called the Mic-Mob in the Medford Lakes area circa 1982. Mic was short for Michelob which was the official club beer of choice. Occasional official meetings were at the Villa D on 206 (now Tabernacle Inn)...

I bought the magazine on Ebay after Teegate pointed it out. I was the only bidder at $5.00. I got it yesterday and its in new condition. Great pictures and article.

One of the most visible bloomers right now is Mountain Laurel. It is in full bloom this week in my neck of the woods. The hunter's lore is that this is when the whitetail deer start to drop their fawns. Sweet pepper is also flowering around the swamps right now as well. The bell shaped flowers...

The most common are the painted turtle and snapper around water and the box turtle on land. The painters are laying eggs in the sand roads around my house this week. I came across 3 egg burrows and one run-over painter in one stretch on Tuesday. NJ Fish and Wildlife publishes a field guide...

Barry If you haven't heard it yet get a copy of NJ Fish and Game's CD of frog calls. The sound quality is great and it covers all of our local species. The woman's voice that narrates the CD is mesmerizing as well. Here is the link to buy it...
