    A Walk On The Wild Side: Four Days In The Pine Barrens

    Sounds like they crossed over Quaker Bridge and followed the green blazed trail to the yellow blazed trail where Mullica Camp is located. No wonder it took them four days to hike the Batona trail. lol

    If you eat a wild mushroom, contacting me might prove difficult. :( And not posting your whereabouts on a public forum is good advise. One time I posted where I would be hiking the following day. About two miles down the trail, Teegate and Ben popped out from behind a tree and beat the crap...

    McRib to be brought back in December

    I think the taste of the actual McRib sandwich is just so-so, but the cardboard box it's served in tastes great! :D

    LMAO! There are two things I don't do when I'm out in the woods. One is handle venomous snakes, the other is eat wild mushrooms. I don't care how much of a "mushroom expert" a person claims to be. I'm not eating the mushrooms they picked in the wild. If I want mushrooms I can buy them at the...

    I can't locate the memory stick they're on, but I think I may have downloaded them onto my spare laptop. I'll have to read the tutorial on how to post pictures here. :D

    I agree, but the perplexing thing is that not only did these orbs show up in the photographs, I saw them floating around with my naked eye while I wasn't looking through the camera lens. I tend to think it was probably condensation reacting with the camera flash. But it is a weird coincidence...

    batona trail hike

    The two things you need to be mindful of when hiking at night is that you don't trip over an exposed tree root or walk your face into a tree branch.

    batona trail hike

    Yes! :D You ever hear that old wives tale that it's good luck if an animal sh%#$ on you? Well if that was true I would have won the lottery like eight times by now. Oh well, I guess I should count my blessings. At least nobody rides an elephant on the Batona Trail. Night time is one of the...

    I know someone who steps in horse manure when he's hiking at night in the pines...AND IT'S ME!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!! :eek::D There are horse riding trails that start just slightly west of the Carranza Memorial, though I do wish they would stay off the Batona Trail, like they're supposed to...

    batona trail hike

    Pineywoman, offhand I can't think of any section of the Batona Trail that doesn't have some areas of soft sand. But more of a concern than soft sand is chiggers, which are at their worst in September on the Batona Trail. Brush up against the wrong weed, bush or grass, and you and your infant...

    Beach plum time

    Thanks for the info, 46er! I did make it to the Plumb Festival and you are correct, they did not sell any raw Beach plumbs. They did have plants for sale though. I have discovered the hard way that if you have ave any kind of fruit trees/bushes, you really need cover them in bird netting if...

    Beach plum time

    I have always wanted to make jam from Beach plumbs, but I can't ever find anybody who sells the raw fruit. Does anybody know if they sell raw Beach plumbs at this festival at Island Beach State Park?

    Here comes the hot weather

    Geese, I have been a life member of the NRA for over 20 years and I did not know that. :oops: Good for your wife. I think everybody who owns a gun should be properly trained on how to use it, how to clean it, and how to safely store it. And they should understand the laws concerning the use of...

    Here comes the hot weather

    It was raining pretty good this morning at 6am as I was heading west towards Millville from the shore. All I know is that I'm sick of the heat and I am especially sick of the humidity. If we have to go through hell to get some cooler temperatures and drier air, I say, "Bring it on!" :dance:

    Any idea if leaving those coins on the monument is part of a religious tradition? I know there are some religious traditions where they will tape money to a venerated statue, but that money gets donated to a church or a charity. Surely they must know that when they leave coins in a secluded spot...

    I saw something strange at the Carranza Memorial a few years back. The entire apron of the monument was covered in coins. Lots of coins! There had to be at least $30 in change laying there. I assumed those coins were part of some type of religious ceremony and didn't touch them, but I bet...

    Hi Mike, We may have met a few weeks ago when I was fishing off the small bridge on Lake Oswego and a guy in an SUV stopped and asked me if I was familiar with the area you're inquiring about. Let me say right up front that I don't believe in the Jersey Devil or Bigfoot, and I am a strong...
