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

I was at Piney Saturday earlier in the morning but there was really not much going on. It was rather disappointing. They should have hired the music act on-and-off for the whole day instead of having them start at 1PM.

Totally gorgeous images as always, Jon.

I guess I am about a week late on this, but since nobody has posted an update - Buzby's is now open. I stopped in yesterday during the Cranberry Festival and said hello to the new owners. Glad it's back. Haven't tried the food yet, though.

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...

You all know this is fake, right? It's a whole channel of fake free energy devices.

Some local stream gages:

It is actually really funny that it seems to depend on the particular driver at the time they're doing Street View photography. In 2009 they were down for it. But every time after that they were like...nah. It may also depend on the particular vehicle they happen to be driving. Sometimes Street...

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...

I am conflicted on how to approach the survey. Leaning towards not using the mapping tool at all and providing my grievances with the plan in the free text submission, although it really does seem like you can draw a polygon over the entire forest, which makes a statement: I guess there is a...

Probably too optimistic. Once the system is implemented, continued problems just present future opportunities to increase the permit fees.

Not much to see. No public comments on the decision-making taken. Simply a demonstration of the survey and mapping tool, which opens tomorrow morning at 9AM and will be open for 30 days. Public comment on the idea of an access plan, permitting system, etc will supposedly be addressed at an...

Actually, I just realized, near the bottom of the article you linked, there is a picture of Carranza's tomb (not the memorial, the tomb in Mexico City) - it looks like there is an error on it. Full resolution photo here Thelmadatter, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons It says MURIO EN MOUNT...

I had read the background on Emilio Carranza himself many times, but I did not realize until recently the significant place of the Carranza family in Mexican history - namely Venustiano Carranza, Emilio's great uncle. Venustiano was Governor of Coahuila and later the 44th President of Mexico...

A few more, all pretty common sights. Prickly pear, of course: Some three-way sedge, this is all over the place: Rose pogonia, when they were just popping: ...and a bit further along, with asphodel: Wax myrtle/bayberry: Pokeweed. Correct me if I got anything wrong...

Ah, you are right - I had confused golden crest and golden club. Thank you for the identifications!

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...

Okay, you got me - I don't go back that far!

Ah, Aerohaven. This one I'm quite familiar with; I've been going back there for a long time. You can find some more info and a lot of historic aerial photos here - and I'm sure also on Boydsmaps. The southern end, where the aircraft hangars used to be, is, or was, a Superfund site. Apparently...

Thanks for the plain links. The email I got directly from Parks & Forestry contained obfuscated links on the domain "lnks.gd" which was being automatically blocked by my DNS sinkhole.
