You are FAR braver than me!

Ro and I were out at Whitesbog tonite to see what birds might still be around. As we left, we used the exit near Rte 70. Doing so, Ro noticed some trash dumped along the canal just before you exit onto 530. I called Terry to get the phone number for calling in trash dumpers - which she said...

Since this thread has gotten so strong on mushrooms I wanted to let Manumuskin know of a good mushroom book my botanist daughter gifted to me: "Mushrooms Demystified" by David Arora, 2d edition, 10 Speed Press, Berkeley, CA, ISBN 0-89815-169-4. Probably could get a copy on inter-library load...

I was hospitalized in 2006 with Erlichiosis and Babesiosis; my wife has mammal protein sensitivity (she can't eat beef without violent allergic reactions, others can't eat meat from any mammal) for last couple of years due to tick bites. Do NOT fool around with tick bites.......

Learned yesterday that a 79 year old friend I worked with for years has "Stage 3 Lyme". He cannot do anything, must be fed by someone, spends his days staring at the ceiling, but his brain is evidently functioning on a mental basis. He can speak, altho very slowly, recognizes people and...

Spung-Man: wouldn't you have the right to sue in state Superior Court or in District Federal Court? Seems to me that the Pinelands Commission counsel is entitled to his opinion but I can't believe he's "the end of the line". Maybe some other interested parties might want to join you?

Tnx Spung Man for the reply. Now we got two Iron Pipe Roads! I should have added that it's the road that begins at the intersection with Tuckerton Road in Washington and runs east to an intersection with Rte 563, marked on one of my maps as "Maxwell". This Iron Pipe Road continues on east but...

Wondering how this sand road got that name????

Saturday, 15 Aug 2015, Ro and I were wandering the Pines and going down Carranza Road saw the new gravel on Tuckerton Road leading to High Crossing. Having never been down that way (value our SUV too much), we drove in. Saw that a LOT of road work had been done, especially at High Crossing...

Thanks to all for treating me so kindly in my ignorance, and thoroughly straightening me out....

The airfield on the south side of NJ 72 east of Jersey Central RR overpass and west of NJ 539, that is used for for fire fighting aircraft.

Wilmer Stone mentions on page 66 of his 1910 report to the New Jersey State Museum that Mr. C. F. Saunders reports a trip through the Pines of 1899 in which they passed Munyon Field. I'd always thought Munyon Field was named for the airport now located there. Realized on reading Saunder's...

Many thanks Mike for all the information you added. johnny b

Damn, all I need is to lose 30 years......

Here's another article regarding stones, monuments, property lines, etc - an old New Hampshire law and practice. Earlier, different article on here someplace .... < http://www.wsj.com/articles/some-devoted-new-englanders-went-for-a-stroll-in-1651-and-havent-stopped-since-1432308932> johnny b

This is the snake whose transponder Ro and I have been funding the past few years.... She's remarkably tame, smooth as silk on the bottom (which we're told makes it difficult for her to cross paved roads but she can climb trees well) and surprisingly warm for a reptile. Hot-blooded female...

Wall Street "Journal" article <http://www.wsj.com/articles/some-devoted-new-englanders-went-for-a-stroll-in-1651-and-havent-stopped-since-1432308932> should interest you guys and others. Do some of the incidents sound familiar? Incidentally, the "property straddling different municipalities"...

P.S. to above post: great pix, Bob. If identification is right, it's in Lily family.

My guess: Pine Barrens Bellwort- Uvularia puberula - not in Boyd's, Newcomb's, or Peterson's field guides. I've only seen it one place (thanks, Mark Szutarski) and I don't think this is that place. Believe it's ranked S2 here in Jersey, not your common everyday plant.

This is such a little gem I had to post a picture of it, Ro and I ran across it while checking out botanical survey sites on Franklin Parker. Read about it in Boyd's " A Field Guide to the Pine Barrens of New Jersey" page 79. I'd never seen it in this stage before; it's very easy to overlook...
