There was a full size 2WD motorcycle - maybe called Rotox? Friend of mine in racing - John Timanus (RIP) - was engineer on their tests at U.S. Army Tropical Test Ground in Panama. I remember one being stacked on the sidewalk outside a m/c shop in Lambertville, NJ, many years ago....

Ben, many, MANY thanks for the time and effort you put into this site. Couldn't access the site the last two days (thought:"Thank you, Comcast.com") but all OK this morning.

Carex striata? Environment is right for it.....

I sent this article out to my daughter Ann in Oklahoma, who is quite active in backpacking in the wilderness. Here's her reply: *** I just got home from outings leader training. Most were 30-35. Sierra club requires outings leaders to go through training, first aid and wilderness first aid and...

The trail is on the north side of Mill Street, just west of the Rancocas Creek bridge and the intersection with Main St. There's a parking lot and signboard at the entrance. The trail follows a big loop in the creek; perhaps the coral reef outcrop is in the depressed area - that'd be the NW...

Last eveining Ro & I went to see what this park trail was like, and were very pleasantly surprised. Much longer than expected (maybe a mile+ in the loop), lotsa really BIG and tall Sycamore, Oak, Walnut, etc. trees. Easy walking. Downside is a lot of non-native invasives, especially at...

Ro says "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" to JohnD and NJChileHead. I'll add my thanks, and especially for the diagnostic aid.

Ro took a picture of the little critter below last week on our front sidewalk here on the edge of the Pines. We can't identify it from our books or on-line sources. Any comments/suggestions?

This keeps up we won't have any native trees: chestnuts, elms, hemlocks.....

Bob: Thanks for the fascinating crystal cave article - I'd heard about it but not with a 1st person account. Race car drivers have "cool" suits that have flex tubing on the inner liner that hooks up to an external source of circulating cool water. Maybe a backpack with battery, pump and...

Al: Yeah, but at least they got small feet and plant them pretty far apart. But their nibbling/gobbling orchids is something else......

`On the way home from NJMP this evening there were notices in Hammonton that route 54 thru town from US 30 to the RR tracks downtown will be closed Sunday, 29 Jun 2014, for the Hammonton Blueberry Festival. That was the first I'd heard of it...

Thank you Mike for a very well reported tour and great pictures. As a kid in The Bronx I saw the Hindenburg on its way to Lakehurst (where my father served in the Chemical Corps, USA in WW1) on its last trip. Your report makes me sure Ro & I gotta take the tour......

Jerseyman: Many, MANY thanks for the detailed history of Bayside/Caviar and the railroads involvement there. It sure puts a historical perspective on today's view of an open marsh, wide bay, mostly hidden railroad tracks at a lonely road and 100's of old pier stumps sticking out of the bay...

A number of years ago Ro & I were there and a group were tromping all over the area and on many of the fragile little gems. Upset, we told them what they were doing was terrible; their leader said he was an instructor and for us to get lost. That's when we realized there are no signs that say...

Where - generally? Heard of a site in South Jersey but believe plants now gone. Sites in North Jersey Highlands have plants this year.

CORRECTION From a college trained naturalist with 40 years field experience - Floyd Williams in NC: "The critter is a Gray Treefrog. The white mark below the eye and the orange on the underside of the hind leg are diagnostic. They can be confusing when they are green instead of gray. Your frog...

Last night Ro went out to photograph moths on our house in Leisuretown. She found a Barking Tree Frog - Hyla gratiosa - on the front garage door frame, and a Spring Peeper - Hyla crucifer - on the back outside wall, facing a wet grassy swale and Pine Barrens woods 100 feet to the rear. Across...

It isn't Pine Barrens but it's close, I noticed it on my home from NJMP today so it's absence is noted as a trip report. The red, canvas covered driver's position, ancient hook and ladder fire engine that rested in the field southeast of the interesection of U.S. 40 and NJ 54 in Buena, is gone...
