Some of the brightest lightning I've ever seen last night. Unfortunately the rain ended too quickly, but it was great to see it coming down hard for a little while.

Skills :D Well, okay. Not really. It looked like something I'd seen before, and it was. How's this one - too easy?

Your clue put me in old Brotherton, but then I was second guessing myself because I knew it wasn't the large spillway at Indian Mills Lake. Stepped away and thought about it a bit longer and then I realized: duh, it is the spillway at the other body of water, the mill pond. Am I on a roll?

I thought about it some more and then I had an a-ha moment. Here, yes?

I saw - pulled over to get a quick shot of it. Eerie.

No, I actually don't. I have been to a few events there, though.

Good news - it looks like the state marker program has been revived with new funding: It would be good to join one of these and potentially suggest that the Pestletown marker (and any other markers those here know to be missing or in bad shape) should be replaced. I assume as part of the...

This is exciting. I'm glad you are looking at adding these. Anything that helps to fill the 50-year gap between the 1930s and 1980s aerials would be most welcome. As far as Ocean County goes, I am sure you have seen this page, which says that their layers include "Aerial Photography," but I do...

I have been up "Stony Mount" (to clarify, not the same thing as Berlin Peak) several times. I believe it's located on hole 8 on the blue course. Part of the pathway up: These guys are all over the place up there in the summertime, sunning themselves on the rocks: And here is a tree that...

We may not get much relief anytime soon... Predictions for this month: And through the end of January:

Thought I would mess around with this a bit, since I found the NJGIN data that Boyd linked interesting. You can actually open most of those landcover datasets in the online ArcGIS Map Viewer, and then use the Filter feature to only show cedar swamps, if you select the right values, which is...

It's possible, but I think more likely late 1977 or early 1978. It seems like the reason that it's out there was related to a project to extract about 120 acres' worth of dead cedar that partially burned in a July 1977 fire. I think I can just barely see the machine on Boyd's really nice...

Great photos, thank you for posting more of them. I had seen only a couple of these before. Incidentally it seems that most (all?) of the content that was hosted on "teegate.njpinebarrens.com" in years past is now gone, and largely was not publicly archived, which is unfortunate. Even photos...

Yes, although Guy has already done most of the legwork in previous posts in identifying it and giving some backstory, so I did not bother taking a lot of detailed pictures of serial numbers. You can read his post here. Some things still remain unanswered for me, though. I am not sure exactly...

One final look at the comet, taken during the WJAS event on Saturday night.

These extraordinarily dry conditions made for a good opportunity to make a trek out to a location that is normally quite difficult to get to. My brother and I entered at Rockwood yesterday in his well-equipped 4x4 and made it all the way to within a few tenths of a mile of our quarry, without...

Well this one is easy :)

Oh, they did? That's great. I must have been there too early in the day for it. I saw that they had the whole side of the mill opened up, which I haven't seen in a very long time, but while I was there the spillway was closed and it looked like the Park Service guys were showing Park Police...

Different from the Mary Ann Forge one? Is that still going?
