On the traffic report they mentioned problems somewhere in Ocean County due to a brush fire (can't remember where, maybe Lacey?) Anybody know something about that? Couldn't find a story online.

Just stumbled across this on the EPA website while researching the former tenant of a building we're moving into. Pretty cool mapping application that displays all known EPA sites on your choice of street, topo or ariel photo maps: http://www.epa.gov/enviro/emef/ You can get coordinates...

I have gotten very fond of watching the NEXRAD radar from Ft Dix whenever a storm is coming, and often keep it open in a browser window as I work (I have a 2 monitor setup on my Mac). However I've noticed they've been having a lot of problems over the past few weeks and the radar is frequently...

Today I hiked around the Stafford Forge WMA for awhile. Beautiful day to be out. The effect of the fire was very evident there, it burned right up to the water. I've been to this area a number of times, and much of it has obviously burned before. There are large areas of little trees - not pygmy...

Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but you need to see this in person to really appreciate the the scale of the fire damage here. It looks like a black and white landscape: But there are some interesting contrasts to the unburned areas as well: Must be an impressive view...

As a sort of right of passage, I've taken all the new cameras I've gotten during the past 8 years to Spring Hill. So since it was so nice today, I decided to christen the D80 :) It was very warm and a bit muggy, but a nice breeze up on the hill made it quite enjoyable. Here you can see Bear...

With the talk about sand dunes in another thread, I felt the need to return to Island Beach. It's one of my favorite places for landscape photography; it has such a unique feeling... almost like being out in the desert. And in the middle of the week this time of year, you can have the whole...

Another cold night ahead... and I wonder how much SNOW I'll get down here? :)

New Google Maps features http://maps.google.com/help/maps/userguide/index.html They have added a lot of features, some of which will be helpful for posting maps here. But publishing maps for general consumption will create a lot of new issues, like the ones we've been discussing in another...

I just noticed this for the first time today. You'll now find a Traffic button on the upper righthand corner of a Google Map page. It can be combined with any of the other options, for example, try this link...

Spent awhile at the Tuckahoe Wildlife Management area today, which is near my home. It's beautiful - lots of wide open space and birds, but the wind was fierce today: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=39.336156,-74.729605&ie=UTF8&z=12&t=h&om=0 There'a about a 7 mile long loop road that...

I hope everyone got out long enough to see the beautiful crescent moon tonight! As soon as I saw it I felt compelled to play around with my telephoto lenses! :) For more photos see my gallery here: http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=483

Went out for awhile today, but the wind was so harsh that my fingers became numb very quickly! This place offers some impressive wide open vistas: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=39.238311,-75.095512&ie=UTF8&z=12&t=h&om=1&iwloc=addr Standing here I felt like the last man on earth (and...

I just watched the Spielberg movie AI again, and with some of the recent talk here about global warming I remembered something which bothered me about the details the first time I saw that movie. The film is evidently set somewhere near Haddonfield, where Spielberg lived for awhile when he...

I had to snicker just a little when I read this article in the Central Record: http://zwire.townnews.biz/site/news.cfm?notn=1&ncdr=1&newsid=17700141&BRD=2244&PAG=461&dept_id=453084&rfi=6 Remember this thread? Looks like widening the road may have brought some unexpected consequences...

Was just looking around at various sites and found this one which is pretty cool. This link displays personal weather stations around the pines on a Google map. Click on any of the numbers to see local conditions and forecasts...
