I few weeks ago, I took the kiddos to watch the sheep get sheared at the Swan Bay Folk Art Center in Port Republic. The Gibersons are wonderful folks for letting the children of South Jersey invade their property. A few pictures: More pictures and some senseless rambling...

I also like Beck because he captures the imagination better than any other pine barrens writer. :)

Yes, but does he sing really high or really low?

Alright, so what is this ruin on the Washington Turnpike? Other than a picture taken on a digital camera in 2003 (man, my phone takes better pictures than this now... technology). First time I saw it was 1993 or 94 when I went on a Scout hike past it, and was told it was the remains of the...

Awesome! Thanks Boyd. I do have a Garmin, but it's been gathering dust. This is a good excuse to get it out and try to remember how to load maps onto it.

This one just totally made my list once the cold weather hits (kid had tick on him yesterday, so time to start avoiding heavy growth areas). The google map is really helpful, thanks!

I totally will, it's impossible to pass up on a place that used to be known as "Beer World".

Thanks bobpbx. He's plenty brave, just not much of a hiker yet :dance: My oldest son spoiled me, he was doing 4 1/2 miles by his 2nd birthday. I can have a dozen kids and never have another one like that... :confused:

Went to check out Tall Pines State Preserve in Sewell, Gloucester County, NJ last weekend. This is the site of the former Maple Ridge Golf Course, which was Ron Jaworski's Eagles Nest before that. Back in November, the state purposed it from a private developer, whose development plan fell...

Russell, love your map. You can directly import GPS files as layers onto Google maps. One of the users here had a full GPS track of the Batona and was kind enough to let me use it for my map...

Thanks Manumuskin! I haven't done many of the trails at Belleplain, I'll have to add the white trail to the to-do list...

Picked it up at Lines on the Pines, finally got a chance to really listen to it (currently on its on its fourth go around... all today). At first listen, I love the feel of the songs - the sadness, the creepiness, the longing. The instrumentation on the songs is perfectly matches Gabe's voice...

Echoing PineBarrens Advocate, water shouldn't be an issue. I swear by the Sawyer squeeze filters that they have now (cheap, easy, and the bag offers you a way to carry extra water for potential dry stretches), but I've done that stretch with just iodine and been fine. Its WAY better than it...

This above all us. :D

This is an almost impossible question, but I think I finally settled on Lake Oswego. There are more isolated, more historic, and more ecologically significant areas in the pines, but I have so many good memories of swimming, canoeing, and barbecuing with friends and family there that the...

Great event today! My camera is in the camera hospital, so I didn't get many decent pictures (stupid camera phone with low light levels), but the family and I had a great time. Kids loved the animals Cedar Run brought with (the little one was obsessed with the tiny owl, the bigger kid loved...

From Al Horner's blog: https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/23962835/posts/941605056 The article is about a group from California that hosts a massive jeep weekend each year in Wharton. If this is on the level, I'm with him on this one. Not sure how a California can get 70 jeepers to pay them...

Was out last Sunday checking out Amatol, they had just just burned Hammonton Creek WMA. Was neat to see some bits flare up once in a while.

Well said, as always.

Too early!!!!!!
