To 46er. When we went to Newfoundland in '07 they had just opened the road in Labrador from Labrador City to Baie Comeau on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, from which there are paved roads to the U.S. Back then it was an overnight ferry in Labrador from Cartwright to Goose Bay. That...

In 2007 Ro and I were in Newfoundland when "they" announced that the Appalachian Mountains chain ended in the eastern end of "TheRock" - Newfie for Newfoundland. We ran across a young guy who was gonna hike it's considerable length across Newfoundland, bushwhacking all the way. We were doing...

Boyd, many thanks for posting this map - didn't know LIDAR maps existed, find it fascinating. Again, many thanks.

Michael: I'm a beginner in botany; haven't spent years at it. Have seen the Isotria at only one spot: roadside, in Burlington County, population in proximity to large Kalmia angustifolia/Sheep Laurel plants. Oji or Old Town Hunter much better qualified than me to answer your question.

Hey, I really got them posted! Here's some Listera australis (tiny little devil!) pix Ro took here in Burlington County a couple of weeks ago that I now know how to post..... johnny b

Here's Isotria verticillata (sic?) pix my wife Ro took a couple of days ago.

From a 23 year Zoning Board member (Springfield Twp Burlco) and past activist in trying to keep that community agricultural and rural: pass local resolutions/ordinances that ban public water supply and sewer systems. Once sewers/water systems are in place it's "welcome development, goodbye...

We checked site yesterday, not an Isotria verticillata to be seen, plants haven't emerged as yet.

My wife Ro took these pictures of Listera australis (Lindley)/Southern Twayblade, then discovered mosquito - pollinator?

Sorry, Ben. Didn't know Taboo. Won't happen again (on my watch).

Ro & I were at junction of Four Mile and Deep Hollow Roads this morning. Found these two dead beavers dumped on the east shoulder of Four Mile Road. Wonder what the story behind this is......

Yesterday (20 apr 2013) Ro and I went up to the InfoAge Science History Learning Center, just west of Shark River inlet. Dropped off another donation - 450 ohm transmission line, pile of manuals, articles, etc. This is "... an interactive museum focused on the information age technologies at...

Oops! Prior commitment elsewhere. Sorry johnny b P.S. Really want to see inside Mansion; next time, I guess......

Ro & I were out today on short jaunts: Everts trail (chicken wire on wooden boardwalks a great anti-skid idea), Magnolia Road firebreak/bike trail (Listera australis in bud), and Turkey Buzzard Bridge Road (lower end getting deep sand, NJ State Police sergeant and a park policewoman apprehended...

Ro and I plan to attend - never been inside the Mansion. johnny b

Many pebbles found in the Pines are colored when removed from in the ground, but when left on the surface bleach to a chalky white. When sharply struck together in the dark, they briefly glow. I’ve heard that when struck, some of the electrons in the outer rings of the atoms of the stone’s...

John D: ur pix are great! When we saw the site there was a huge pile of fist size gravel just a few feet towards the tracks from the bank of the cut. My fear is that someone unaware of what a treasure is there would just barge over them. Since you live nearby do you happen to know who owns the...

Tnx Gibby. Yes. I've volunteered thru PPA to write a letter, supporting legislation for plant protection, to local publication, haven't been tapped yet, but ready 'n willing.... I. rubra also known as Standing Cypress and according to Gleason & Cronquist has scientific name Gilia rubra...

Allegedly the only place Ipomopsis rubra appears in NJ is in Cumberland County. The railroad roadbed and road crossings have been newly rebuilt. A gravel pile is threateningly close; wonder if the RR is aware?
