Quote from Ro's Facebook page: Yesterday, was a great day for me…..and John too. Neither one of us had ever seen a Spotted Turtle before. This was a great find; the turtle is a species “of concern”. The turtle had just come out of the mud; it still had some on it. It was crossing from one bog...

Only other big concrete ruins I've seen are at Estell Manor. ... or are there such ruins at Amatol? We've only explored the old board track area there.....

Bob: Pasadena Tile Factory? (If so, where's the graffiti?)

Our naturalist friend in NC, Signa Williams, just posted some snake pix from Merchants Mill Pond State Park, where some of us botanized last year, that are so good that, despite not being from our Pines, I felt needed to be shared here. Top two: red bellied water snake, green tree frog, last...

Harrisville Lake on 679?

At 6+ pm tonite Philly Channel 3 had a short segment on $100 million Federal beach restoration program, aimed at restoring beaches destroyed by SANDY before this May to enable horseshoe crab egg burials and migrating bird feeding. Featured Kimbles Beach.

When was the Atsion-Atco RR line taken out of service?

I sure don't recognize the place, but the "hint" road is corduroy, I don't think those are RR ties.......

Very interesting and thought provoking. Thank you, Al.

Re previous posts about ring necked snake: I sent Karl Anderson the info about its being venomous, and he responded with some comments you may find interesting: Ringnecked isnt a snake I've seen very often. Nice little creature. At one time or other I've had I think seven spp. of snakes as...

Ro found this incredible clip about a frog species that is stone cold frozen in winter, with zero heartbeat, yet wakes up and lives come spring. She tells me species maps have it in Jersey. Please see...

Tom, that looks a lot like the place Mark introduced Ro and me to in looking for orchids: Turkey Buzzard Bridge Rd, east of Four Mile Road, south of New Lisbon. If not it, it's a cousin.....

These pictures are not from our Pine Barrens but from a Loblolly/Long Leaf Pine & mixed hardwood forest at Merchants Millpond State Park in NC. We were hosted by Floyd and Signa Williams, who are naturalists and retired rangers. We were in search of the rare Trillium pusillum , which they had...

Webb's Mill?

Pictures taken from the blocking gate on Moores Meadow Road. BTW, When was the section of this formerly public through road taken out of service? Many years ago we drove this way over to Carranza Rd. Also, note in second picture that the moisture in the smoke has risen high enough to condense...

Chased Prescribed Burn by Carranza yesterday - Ro's pix on Bread & Milk thread - we passed Friendship and were shocked at sight/site. Looks like there'd been a fire and a Cat had been used to push away all the trees & brush from the east and southeast into the big cellar hole at east rear. Bare...

Amen!

After reading these recent posts I've gotta go back to all the listed earlier ones. I've been an auto racing official since the early 50's, was a steward at all U.S. GP's from '70 to '91, was Chief Steward for CanAm II (5 litres), and for 17 years Chief Steward for Formula Atlantic. Been an...

I remember when they "paved" sand roads after levelling them by pouring heavy oil on them, not asphalt. Quick, easy, relatively cheap, and if the vehicles weren't too heavy, pretty effective. Far better than just sand. But vulnerable long term to weather. At that time Pennsylvania did a...

Knees can be H... in later years. Mightn't be a waste of time/money to have it checked if there's still pain in the morning.
