Felt like paddling today. Atsion Lake. Not really digging moving water lately. Out early, started off cool but heated up quickly. Save for a welcome breeze, the water was calm and peaceful. Banked twice to do a little trail walking. surprisingly little garbage to be picked up. I was pleased at...

I am pleased to say that today on my family canoe outing there was not a ton of litter. We did of course spy the elusive Mylar Balloon of course hung up in some weeds. I honestly think those things procreate somehow out in the Pines! We as always had the kids fill a plastic bag along our...

Took the whole crew out this afternoon on Batsto lake & upriver a bit. That's me, wife, and all three kids. Can't beat an old Grumman. Five souls and still drafts very little water. It was a full boat though. I was happy to see so many families out together and in so many craft of different...

Figured I'd start it. Jason is up and full of fire to rip & tear. Layne & Sam are sleeping in so keeping the littlin' at Bay is a trick. My wife Lynn is getting ready to go to church early to prepare for worship service/singing. Cold out eh'?. I hope all of you enjoy your Easter day, what it...

Anyone familiar with a fellow, Art from Tabernacle that frequents the Quaker Bridge Road? Drives a dark colored Subaru, parks and walks. Has a large wiry haired dog. Seems to be a very... spiritual fellow.

All, Saturday morning Scott (RednekF350 ), Dave ( Hinchman's Hill ), and I met at the Library if you will of Jerseyman. He was very kind in offering his many resources for study. A perfect gentleman and generous host, he answered any and all questions with patience and eerily was able to with...

My son Sam had a 2nd grade class trip today to Washington Twp. School (down here). They were putting on a play. We are in the Waterford Schools. My wife Lynn is a room Mom-Chaperone so is attending. (I am the room mom for my Daughter - 5th grade, it's fun) But not fun today. Again, the trip...

All, The Plunge for NJ special Olympics is up again and my 7th year in attendance is upon me. I am excited. I shall not solicite but I will say that I continue to feel very good about the cause that this bit of madness supports. Feb 24 I go in with hopefully a couple thousand other foolish...

All, Couple weeks back when I was off and tromping Goshen, I was on an errand earlier in the day with my Mother-inlaw along (Sweet woman). She always has her little cam along to grab a shot. I wanted to show her the Church at ATSION. She is not at all some Cemetary freak, I was just sure she...

I beg of you all, no one need respond if you do not want to. I am not reopening a topic. I would not disrespect Ben that way. But note to all. Ebsi, you spoke a terrible sentiment. "Perhaps some consider me to be a meddling old fogey" On topic or not, your years add to the whole, as their...

Yesterday, while riding about in the woods I had the radio on a bit and I heard a piece on news announcing approval of funds, or already work having been approved or begun/to begin on a bridge over the Mullica at mile marker 49? I was more concentrating on not cracking into a tree or truck in...

I am not a hiker. Like as not you will never see me on a 30 mile, 20 mile, or perhaps even a 10 mile hike. I applaud those here that do. I applaud their vigor and their stamina for that which is their passion. But I do like a good Walkabout. Fall... This is my time. I feel it not even...

Thanks to another member and his website I confirmed the Wharton cleanup date. I will not soapbox the issue in itself. It has appeared on countless threads and it is obvious that everyone here cares. I will soapbox the event though. I only ask this. Please come out. Last year I was only out...

I guess due to it's relation to water movement in the Pine's environment, I'll put this here. Ever since Scott & Guy tuned me on to the USGS site, which is cool for checking the stations that are all over out there, I've been looking at my local stream. It is now posted that this site will be...

Might sound foolish but I need help on this one. What is the proper agency & contact to report dead birds to? I suppose one would also have to supply a specimen to said agency? I have in my immediate area an unusual # of birds found dead. Mostly blackbirds but I find it kind of weird.

Made it a date for today to take my ten year old Layne out for first on river. Mullica of course. Nice & simple. My cousin went yakkin' along with us. He was pleased as he hasn't been out in a while. Moving water was very different for her from Lakes, ponds, bogs and such. She got to see as...

All, Took yesterday off for a canoe fix. Following a sudden and violent sickness Wednesday and feeling better, I decided what the heck. I put in at my uncle's in Sweetwater/Pleasant Mills right on the river around the bent creek section. Basically direct across from Indian Cabin road. Been a...

All, Got up early this morn' to put in at the bog behind me around 5:00 A.M. Did some Canoein'. A brisk 48 degrees by the thermometer on my travel clock. Very still though no wind. Super quiet. Saw one duck, and about 6 or 7 geese floating and griping at me. A large swan was very put off...

Being a creature of habit and liking walks on the Fleming pike, I was out yesterday to see what the flow of the Albertson looked like back through Iron Mill and the J/C bridge. Very nice,clean & good movement. Had a good amount of fallen trees though.Saw one duck.The walk gave me chance to toy...
