Small feature request - this is pretty minor but it would make a nice quality of life improvement. Could we get the details fields on waypoints to wrap around? It'd be nice on desktop but especially useful in mobile mode. Without it it's basically impossible to read my notes out in the field...

There's a fire in progress on the YMCA Camp Ockanickon/Matollionequay property. I was able to get a pretty close look. Have not seen this reported anywhere else yet. This general area is burning. I'm not sure how extensive it is. They briefly had the Matollionequay entrance blocked off...

Morning fog has really been a boon over the last month.

Some photos from the festival at Batsto earlier today. Honestly one of the highlights was being able to finally try the NJ maple syrup that Stockton has been working on. Made from red maples on the university campus. It was delicious. They said they may be able to start selling it to the...

I drive by this a lot but always forget to look it up. Something reminded me of it this week. Driving west on 532, at a curve you can clearly see that there used to be a road that continued straight. A southern section of South Park Road that used to connect. There has been a large metal gate...

To close out the summer season, some discoveries from the previous few months. Bog asphodel - thanks to forum members here who helped me find a population of it. Golden-crest, or neverwet as I think it's colorfully described in John McPhee's book. Carnivorous things... Some other...

These are from a couple weeks ago, but I drove with a friend from Atsion all the way through to Batsto on the Fireline road through the burn area. There were almost no puddles to contend with because of how dry it's been, but it was still a pretty bumpy go even with a big 4x4 due to deep ruts...

Out driving around early this morning. Nobody around at Batsto. Saw one Forestry Service employee. Quick stop at Franklin Parker. Harassed by pine flies and the humidity is ridiculous, but worth it.

How's this for a hair-raiser: Of course, this guy was as dead as a doornail. Otherwise I'd never have got this close for a photo. When I arrived at Pakim this afternoon, Forestry Service guys were all gathered around looking at it. It had a crushed neck - seems like someone may have ran it...

A few landscape selections from the past few months... Some neat textures in a sand quarry. Technically just outside the borders of the Pinelands National Reserve, but a familiar view from the top of a nearby hill. Maybe the best looking lighthouse in the state at the moment, while Old...

I was out in the Speedwell side of the Parker Preserve early this morning, taking some pictures along the Wading. It was a great morning, the only detraction being clouds of mosquitoes and the green haze of pollen in the air. After that I made one more stop; I pulled into the parking lot at...

Local flora from the past few months out in the field... Had to do some research here - these are called swamp beacons, Mitrula elegans:

So, I've been building a small collection of Pinelands and other Jersey-related books. In the process I've been fortunate enough to find and buy several rare/out-of-print works, but there's one book I'm looking for right now which I can find no copies of for sale anywhere. The book is Sign...

Took a tranquil hike up the white trail along the lake to a scenic spot on the river this morning. The lighting was a bit too harsh when I got there and I didn't get anything earth-shattering as a result, but this is a great location and I'm sure I will be back. A sunrise hike out here would...

Hello - I'm new to the forums here, although not new to the pines :) I took a very enjoyable walk through the preserve over the weekend with a new camera. Cool temperatures but very sunny and pleasant out; saw plenty of fellow hikers. Just thought I would share some of the better shots I got -...
