I was bushwacking near the Friendship Bogs this weekend and I noticed I had three deer ticks making a meal of my inner thigh. :( Should I ask the doctor for some antibiotics or should I wait and see if symptoms develop? BTW, my dog was diagnosed w/Lyme Disease antibodies in 2013 but the doctor...

I snapped this quick photo near Hawkin Bridge yesterday. Loads of mountain laurel in full bloom!

I'll be in AC next week for a convention so I'll check it out. Cabela's is extremely expensive so I expect this place to be a bit too out of my price range. Are there any coupons floating around?

Unless it's too hot out, my dog wears a blaze vest soaked in permethrin. Here it is https://www.dropbox.com/s/sd72fm0bqbp4me7/Photo Mar 22, 4 40 27 PM.jpg

Molly the Dog and I are looking forward to our first foray into the pines in several months and my first backpacking trip (gulp) since 1997 (my pooch's second trip). I'd like to park on Rt. 563, walk the Batona Trail through FPP to Batona Camp and walk back to my car the next day. Is there any...

I found these neat photos of cranberry harvesting at Whitesbog (and elsewhere) in the pines that were taken as part of some New Deal project. Enjoy!

I will be there with my family until our tongue and lips turn blue.

DISLIKE.

It appears that Maine has a 40-acre patch of pine barrens of its own, although this one appears to be man-made: http://gizmodo.com/how-forty-acres-of-desert-appeared-in-the-middle-of-mai-1582392512

I was at Hawkins Bridge on Sunday. Lots and lots of paddlers were out. River was pretty shallow...maybe 1.5'.

My son and I visited Friendship Bogs Saturday night and Sunday night to look for PB Tree Frogs and other herps. On Saturday, we walked in the rain as a thunderstorm was exiting the area. To our backs (east) thunder rolled and lighting lit up the sky. Ahead of us (west) was a sunset over the...

I hope you get to check out Buttermilk Falls. My son, dog and I hiked to the top last June and we stepped right over a timber rattlesnake!

Oops...you're right. I went downstream. I'm too lazy to paddle upstream ;-)

I love this herpetology thread! Outside of the pines, wood frogs are common in the Great Swamp NWS (as are spring peepers, green frogs, bullfrogs, Northern Water Snake, Garter Snake, Northern Brown Snake, Ribbon Snake, snapping turtles, spotted turtles and painted turtles). I encountered a...

I paddled this route in 2012. Put in is at the marked launch off of Route 206 just E of Atsion Lake. I paddled a canoe with my son and my wife paddled our kayak to the Mullica River Wilderness Campground. Water level was low and we were constantly getting stuck on submerged logs....it was very...

If you have kayaks, I recommend paddling from Atsion to Mullica River Wilderness campground and then on to Pleasant Mills the next day. If you leave early in the day, you can set up camp at Mullica River and then explore the area on foot. RednekF350's suggestion may also work too. Since vehicles...

I live 90 miles NE of Batsto Village. There is a haze in the air and the smell of smoke is strong. The smoke is being reported as far north as Greenwich Village in NYC!

Here's an article from Michigan... Suttons Bay flotilla aims to break Guinness world record From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130901/METRO06/309010026#ixzz2drjzx2TW I viewed the picture in the article... And thought "this photo looks like the Cedar Creek on a...

I've been with these Drexel students as we placed radio transmitters in the Pine Snakes in 2011. I hope to be out in the Pines with my son and some more herpetologists Friday in search of these snakes. I will report back...if we end up going.

NJ State Parks Facebook page just announced that the "Bass River swimming area is closed today and tomorrow due to poor water quality." I am guessing that runoff from heavy rains (and all of the seagulls that hang out there) contributed to this? I find Lake Absegami absolutely disgusting in...
