Wow! I was out paddling with a friend on Makepeace Lake today and could not believe the water level! What is normally and 6-8 foot deep lake, at its deepest point today wasn't more than a foot and a half deep. Stumps sticking out everywhere, paddles covered in alga and a good 50 ft of...

Every year, I make some pickled peppers (all kinds) and pickled eggs. I usually sell jars, but I noticed that this year outside of my usual orders I have some jars left over.... So, if anyone one from the PB forums would like a jar of extremely hot pickled peppers or real spicy pickled...

So this idea was thrown out there about a year ago by a friend and kind of went by the wayside. Now, as I am taking this certification course at the college, it is bringing up whole new possibilities. I have been looking at a project to do and this was brought to my attention again...

There was talk about this before and it kind of fell by the wayside. How's about we do an outdoors get together, maybe at Crowley's Landing or somewhere similar within the next couple of weeks.... Maybe on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon...... Hmm???? Whatcha think?

Campfire restrictions were bumped up a notch and according the the NJFFS group that I am a moderator on patrols were bumped up to a stage 3 which means that every truck doing a patrol must have a driver and a firefighter on board. It is really dry out there, so please take extra precaution...

I was out in Wharton last night in the Hampton Rd area and heard some great sounds coming from the a small area near the intersection of Stokes and Hampton Rds. I recognized a tree frog and a bull frog, but there was a third sound (dubbed the "screechy thing", hehe) that I could not identify...

As I have said on the other thread about Amatol, one of my pet projects has been exploring and trying to map out the area. I started this in November or early December with my friend Pete, who was shortly thereafter deployed overseas to Qatar/Iraq. We originally went out there after a new...

I was looking to get together a CITO event (geocaching cleanup) around Earth Day. I was going to have it the 22nd and called Batsto and spoke to Gil Mika who told me that they were having their big cleanup/Earth Day celebraton on the 17th. SO... A bunch of us are meeting at Batsto at 9:30am...

Just out of curiosity.. There was a tradition in the South Jersey farm communities in the 1800's called "Moving Day". I believe it took place near the Vernal Equinox (March 25th, maybe?). Does anyone have more info about it?

I am going to put this out here and see what kind of response I can get. I was thinking of organizing a cleanup in Wharton (maybe the Atco area), the weekend after Earth Day. (The 24th). If enough people are willing to participate, I will contact some people and get us a truck and stuff...

A couple of months back, I took a trip to Kentucky to do some climbing and caving. I figured I would share them here to give you guys an idea of what I do when I am not cruising the pines.... I first met some friends up at a place called Half Moon rock where we set up ropes to practice...

A friend and I have been looking at maps of Amatol and have spent a lot of time pouting over maps and stuff. After receiving a response from Kevinhooa with a great map link, we set out today to find some of the buildings. We are on semi-limited time, as he is going away for four months and...

A few weeks ago, I spent a couple of days exploring a WMA off of Columbia Rd in Mullica Township. There are a few entrance roads. It looks like there is private property between the two sections of the WMA. I tried a google search and the only info I could find was a press release stating...

I am so upset and disappointed. My friend Chuck and I were meeting on Quaker Bridge Rd. today. As I pulled onto Penn Swamp Rd. he called me and asked me if there was a controlled burn in the area. I knew there were supposed to be and asked him why he asked. He told me that there was a ton of...

There was a body found off of Carranza Rd. today. Not too many details yet, but I will keep you posted...

I have driven down Quaker Bridge quite often the past week and I have to say it is worse than I have ever seen it. The ruts are super deep! Does anyone know how often they grade it?

Election is coming on Tuesday and it is a historic one. I never registered so many voters in my life. And everyone I have talked to says the same and agrees that the number of young people registering is at an all time high. Also the numbers of seniors registering that have never voted in...
