I once tracked a red fox in the snow near the Tuckahoe Etna Furnace. As soon as I felt like I was close, the fox came running up behind me, made sure I saw him, and ran away. They really are jokesters. I've never seen a flying squirrel, but when I was in the NW corner of Connecticut this...

Here are two I came across maybe a month ago.

Took this back in late April.

I'm from Vineland and we called them sandwashes too (more like sand waRshes). Always knew not to swim in them, so when I saw all these shoobies swimming in the washes by the Manumuskin one summer day I was surprised. There's an eerie history to those Menantico ponds, including devil...

and I'll still call them by their cumberland county name of "jiggers!"

The Daily Journal out of Vineland does most of the area news, but they’ve been cutting back on content and buy outsourced articles. If I’m not mistaken I believe they are up for sale.

I always felt some type of way every time I would launch from Fowser rd., never felt comfortable knowing there was treated number two coming out those pipes.

So after reading this thread, my girlfriend and I decided to do some off-trail hiking at Beaver Swamp. I was last there years ago, but only walked along the earthen dam. This time we chose to follow Beaver Dam Rd. to its conclusion, then went east following a corduroy road that essentially...

One of my favorites parts of the hike

Had a great time and it's always a pleasure seeing the pbx crew again. Highlights for me: the stream(s) crossing, amazing how deep some spots were; all the cedar swamps we hiked through, especially the first stretch; the wild cranberries I kept picking at along the way; Chris' venison bites and...

I think we're past the point of writing letters and eating pizza. If letters from four former governors and the architect of the CMP doesn't affect change then something else needs to be done. I am not saying I have the answer and I certainly applaud any action at this point, but it is...

Heard some peepers in the recess pond by shop rite in Vineland off Lincoln and Landis; earliest by far I remember hearing them.

Yea I've come across these particular swans while kayaking at Parvins. Its best to steer clear and if they make an attempt to come towards me I usually bang my paddle against the kayak and leave. That water does get cold right now, but it's been real busy over at Parvins I'm sure someone saw...

I went to look for the junction of Cumberland, Gloucester, and Atlantic Counties today as I was driving down Wheat Rd in Vineland. It happens to be in the parking lot of Wheat Road Golf. Al, I think the marker you placed is actually the boundary of Monroe Township. I'm going to go back...

hey al, i think we need to stick to calling them "jiggers" like the other old folk in cumberland county to differentiate them from those northern pine chiggers

one of my favorite stops on the hike

It was certainly a great hike in an area I had not yet explored. The cedar swamp was amazing and finding that corduroy road out there was definitely a highlight. I must say though that meeting such a great bunch of welcoming, friendly people was the best part of the day for me. Thanks again...

The southern pipeline is supposed to run underneath Cumberland Pond, not sure what that will look / what the effects will be when they lay down the pipe, if anything ruptures, and if they need to do repairs.

had a great view from my back deck on gandys beach, at one point it looked like it was coming right for us, then disappeared into the inky firmament.
