If Bigfoot reads this forum, you're screwed! :D As of today I am tentatively planning a round trip hike from Carranza Road to Quaker Bridge on Saturday. I have to go fairly early because I have to be back home at 3pm for a Christmas party, but we may cross paths.

If you really need the coordinates, I might have them stored in my GPS, but it's pretty easy to find. Go to the circle where Rt 72 & Rt 70 meet (close by to Pemberton, NJ & Brendan Byrne State Park) Exit onto Magnolia Road. This will be your third exit if you entered the circle on Rt 72. You...

I didn't know methane could power a generator. Next time the electric goes out I'll just invite my dad over to keep the generator running. In fact, he could probably keep the whole neighborhood running. :D

"Captured methane gas 2.5%" You know, I thought my electric smelled a little funny last month. Now I feel bad, I was blaming it on the dog.

I'm more worried about getting shot at family reunions than I am by hunters in the pine barrens during deer week.

Excerpt from the article: "A gun may help as a signal, seldom for game." That was written in 1946. I envy the freedom of previous generations of Americans. In 1946 you could build a house without having to spend thousands of dollars to have some dumb ass barrier fence erected around the...

If I was filming it you would have heard some bathroom noises in that video.

Yep, just looked at the video again. They were bow hunting. At the very beginning of the video you can see arrows. They were smart to stay still and not run. While an arrow at close range is not nearly as effective as a 12 gauge, I still think I would have had one aimed at the bear's head or...

Finally, somebody has a credible video of Bigfoot trick or treating in a bear costume.:D Assuming those guys in the tree stand were armed, they allowed a bear displaying an aggressive posture to get a lot closer to them than I would have. Once that bear started up the tree, that would have...

Ahhh...you're going in June. Okay, that makes sense now. I was worried that you were some kind of sadistic scout master who makes the kids swim in November. :D As Karl already mentioned, Batona Camp has everything you're looking for, except for the swimming. The Batona Trail goes right through...

Okay, no more twinkies. But there's still plenty of good snacks available. http://www.hotlix.com/insect_candy/larvets.html

I'm late for a meeting, but I can pop in later and recommend some hikes for you...but surely you're jesting about the swimming part? The water temperature is in the 50's.

I hiked the Batona Trail on Friday near Batsto and Saturday in Bass River. A few downed trees here and there, but nothing too significant. I would expect conditions would be similar in Brendan Byrne. Before the storm hit I did see that Martha Furnace Bridge on the Batona Trail (wooden bridge...

Yeah, bass don't do so well in the pines because of the acidic water. I catch 'em at Lake Pemberton, but they're all small. It's just that when I drive by Chatsworth Lake and see all those tree trunks sticking up out of the water on the east side, I can't help but think, "What a great looking...

Sorry to hear that you suffered a near total loss. I know that saying, "Be thankful that nobody was hurt or killed," is an overused and maybe even annoying phrase you'll hear from people, but the older you get, the more you'll realize the truth of that statement. Possessions can always be...

I was just served a breakfast of french toast, poached eggs and sausage. We're having smoked salmon for lunch. I knew bugging out to a relatives was going to be tough, but damn, this is barbaric. :D You think asking for a massage would be too much?

Thanks for the good info, guys. Like most freshwater fisherman I always target bass first, but I still enjoy catching panfish and pickerel. What's nice about pickerel is that you can catch them year round and they'll hit anything that moves. I actually catch most of my pickerel on topwater bass...

I'm safe & sound 45 miles inland. The fire department picked up about 50 people at dead low tide this afternoon, myself included, and took us off the island. At dead low tide the water in Sea Isle City was knee deep to waist deep. I don't even want to fathom how high the water is going to be at...

Hopefully Boyd I'll get to meet you in person some day and show you that I'm actually disgustingly normal. :D I just went outside and boarded up my crawl space door in waist deep water after I saw some of my stuff floating in the bay. Tied myself with a safety rope to the deck and wore a life...

No, there's a foot of water in my first floor. I'm going to ask the police if they have a vehicle available to drive me to my truck at low tide. If not, then I'm riding it out.
