I think you took a pic of one of my old camping spots. I have not been there in twenty years. Nice pics

Old Rag is a great hike,and the fall colors are just hitting peak.If you do it make it a weekday or you can stand in line for a long time waiting for the crowds to clear some of the rock scrambles.It is not the place to go for solitude. Let me know when, I am always ready for a hike.

Just admiring your pics again Bob, I have decided that a trip to the Adirondaks is going to have to happen next summer. Thanks again

Jersey has some great food, lotsa great folks, and The pine barrens. most of what I love most in this world is in Jersey. I just can't stand the mommy Government.

I agree.I am thinking of all the reports on this site of rangers going through tents, coolers, vehicles, and any other private property which has surrendered that status by being at a public campsite in the state of NJ. I also hate being rousted. In the eyes of the rangers everyone is in...

Hard to tell from the photos, lots of displacement. About the same displacement as a running human track but 4 foot pattern. Almost all 4 footed animals leave a Y shaped pattern when running full blast. The tracks in the photos make me think bear because I see 2 small and two large(hind) prints...

No pics. I am sure they are still there, they were cutting across the pond south to north just about in the middle. We tracked up the place pretty bad, but we followed the bear string without stepping on them. They were old tracks and were made at a time when the mud was sticky and sort of...

I have also been spending alot more time working out in the last year. I hiked Old Rag mountain Friday with a 19 year old, we spent nearly 4 hours at the top climbing boulders. I did a few things that I could not have done a year ago. It is a great feeling and I am really motivated to train...

Anything better out there in the $250-$300 price range? http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1395 http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1361 I want something I can take outdoors with me alot and I tend to be a bit of a klutz when it comes to...

WOW! Thanks for sharing. I ran into a guy at REI in marlton lst week who was telling me about his canoe trips to the Adirondacks. It sounds like an incredible place. It is a great feeling to reap the rewards of all that hard work at the gym. Keeps you motivated.

I agree. Take a canoe trip, the colors reflecting in the black water is sureal. Try to get a sunny weekday when you can just about have the place to yourself. Quaker bridge to Batsto would be great.

They will only hassle you if they see you. I mean after all it is New Jersey, what can you do and not risk being hassled by the law? I figure if I get caught and have to pay a fine after enjoying many peaceful, and quite wilderness trips then it is worth the price. I also leave no trace and I...

you mean to say that something I read on the internet was not correct! Now I have no hope at all..........so whats wrong with 69 trillon, its just paper and ink

I got one crueler. I worked at the shipyard with a guy from buffalo NY, he was a real serious fisherman. He said to catch the monster pike in the big water nothing worked better than kittens.

Did anyone get the email that went around called "the burke bailout"? The point was that if we took the $700,billon and gave it to the 200 millon working taxpayers in this country it worked out like $345,000 each. That kind of puts it in perspective for me. If $600 per person in Bush's...

Amen brother. Lets not forget that the Lord's first miracle was to save a jewish wedding that had run out of wine. 60 gallons of the best stuff they had ever tasted. Wine is a gift of God,and he wants us to enjoy it, but we are warned to use it with common sense........I think I will put the...

Took my son and nephew on a camp out last saturday. We parked at Atsion and hiked back to a spot not far from lower forge. The weather was perfect, sunny, cool ,and no bugs at all. I was really suprised at how dry it was. We spent some time out by Mannis duck pond and it was almost dry. I have...

Took my son and nephew on an overnight camping trip back in wharton yesterday. On the hike in we met three folks with buckets full of mushrooms. They were from Poland. On the way out this morning we ran into another group also from Poland who were picking mushrooms. I talked with the man for a...

I had a rottwieler named Gus who I lost to cancer. It had to do with his lymph nodes. It went real fast. We made the decision to put him to sleep and it was hard to see him go but he was really hurting. He was always with me, and he loved the pines. I buried him at a camping spot we used alot on...

I sorry to hijack your thread, but on the mushroom subject...I try t get a backpack trip in every year about the first week in November. About 4 years ago I ran into a russian immigrant who was walking the railroad tracks stuffing a bag full of every kind of mushroom he came across. I asked him...
