That is why I'm shooting during the new moon :-)

Yes, that is the major limiting factor. With theses shots I've found that the foreground interest is important. So I was trying to think of bogs/water that has access on the eastern side so that I could face south west.

Hey all, I've been planning on doing a shot of the Milky Way this weekend during the new moon. I use an app call PhotoPills which you can set the time and date and it will show which way the Milky Way will be oriented, overlayed on a satellite map. I've rented a 24mm, f1.4 lens, that if I...

Hi all, Now that the heat of summer is breaking, Open Trails NJ is planning to get back out to Jemima Mount to complete the project we started there. We will finish filling the trenches with deadfall to prevent further erosion. We will also be extending one of the railings to prevent go...

Wow! This is an incredible recovery. I was just there early this summer and walked the whole meadow, admiring it. This seems like a perfect case of what can be done with some physical protections. It is totally protected, yet totally accessible from the adjacent road.

So Jason, you never did post those pins so we could talk about these specific locations so let's talk more generally. You see there is a recurring theme about the need for additional funding to properly enforce the rules already in place. So would the PPA be wiling to direct its followers to a...

Thanks Mike! I have to give full credit to @ecampbell for the Lidar idea, I got it from his past post on the trail. (I asked him if it was ok first :-) ). Also, thanks for the correction.

Jason, let's not speak rhetorically. Please drop pins for each of the 3 locations above so we can talk about potential solutions. Regarding Jemima, I'm talking to the state about extending the gate. It is true that at least one person went around once, however, the traffic is probably down...

So my garlic is out and my basil bolted so I have quite a bit of real estate opened up. What should I plant? Also where do you all get plants this time of year? In the spring they seem to be at every garden store, later summer/fall not so much....

They are also working on Burnt Mill by Beaver Dam lake.

This am had a 3 egg omelet with some fresh tomatoes, jalapeños and my first cherry pepper of the season. This evening had a couple Rutgers 250's (the new retro Rutgers variety) and my first Brandywine of the season with some oil, salt and balsamic.

Ok, she is concerned about the lack of funding and wants to make it a National Park when the the National Park Service has a maintenance backlog of $12M.....and then the pines will be competing with the likes of Yosemite and the Grand Canyon for the same $$. Ok, got it...

Interesting. Is this some sort of instinctive strategy they have evolved to learn? Kill the tree, wait a couple years for it to fall and then use it? Less risk and less overall work?

This topic turned one year old this week. It has been quite the wild ride. I don't think we have solved this problem by any stretch, but I think we are in a much better place than we were on July 18th, 2015. I think there is a lot more attention on the issues in Wharton, there are a lot of...

Ah ok, one of my favorite spots. I guess I didn't recognize the vantage point. Incidently just a smidge north of there is where I took the photo that is my avatar.

Awesome! Where was this taken on the Mullica?

Got mine in the mail this week. Thanks, Guy.

I'll be there around 5:00.

Was out for a little stroll this evening and came across a pretty large Pine Snake. Really nice coloring. I stayed and watched him for a bit but didn't want to stress him out so I moved on.

We parked here: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.71992331214768&lng=-74.63266867797853&z=15&type=terrain&gpx= Plenty of room to park out of the way of the roads and not have to be into the brush. I don't think, technically, you are allowed to park anywhere. My rule of thumb has just been...
