Took this on Tuesday a little after sunset in the biting wind on my nightly walk. The bog wasn't quite ready to give up the last of the open water. Scott http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=281&pos=31

My wife and I and the dog hit Mannis Duck Pond, north of Quaker Bridge, today for a beautiful winter hike. We parked a little northeast of Lower Forge and walked the rest of the way in. The pond was awesome with its winter ice coat and you can't beat a winter sky for photos. The dam makes a...

My wife and I and the dog hiked a few miles along the east bank of the Batsto on Sunday. It was one of the quitest days I can remember in the pines. It was cold and gray with absolutely no wind and there was a lot of moisture in the air deadening the sounds. The skies were gray and it felt...

Not being a sports fan and finding parade watching to be a certain cause of suicide for normal males, I headed out in the rain this afternoon to take the muzzleloader for a walk. I headed down West Mill Road from 206 with my buddy Jack. Jack is a lifelong hunter and woodsman and his dad was...

Figured I would be first to start the thread. Merry Christmas to all of you and your families. :) Scott, Dottie and the boys.

http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061214/NEWS01/612140398/1006 The two layered effect of removing the number of Pinelands Development Credits (PDC's) assigned to the land is an interesting perspective. I do a lot of Pinelands related development work and the...

A very powerful man. Strange combination of cranberry farmer and political powerhouse. http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061212/NEWS01/612120362

Beautiful day in the pines and the woods is saying thank you! (2) 30 yard dumpsters are full and a hundred or so tires are out of the woods I got to meet PBX Bob and what an admirable man he is. He worked his butt off with his truck in an area of the pines he really doesn't frequent. He...

While out along Albertson's Branch tonight just before dark I came across a heavy, weathered cast iron hook lying in the edge of a dike road. I am going to try and link the photo here: http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=0 If that doesn't work, try...

For those who are interested the Pine Barrens Jamboree at Wells Mill Park is this weekend. Here is a link to more info: http://www.pineypower.com/jamboree.html

For those who sometimes seem shocked or dismayed when they encounter gun-toting or bow-toting people in the pines, this Saturday marks the opening of fall bow for deer and firearm for squirrel. A few zones opened for bow the first Saturday in September but bow will be open statewide this...

I am a licensed land surveyor and I receive several professional journals throughout the year including a monthly called American Surveyor. This month's edition has an article about early meridian stones in Nantucket that were used as a reference for true north and as a means of measuring...

Went fishing on East Creek Pond in Belleplain yesterday and as usual, the bald eagles were working the lake. So were the ospreys. We watched an eagle perched in a dead tree for about 20 minutes. We tried to drift in closer for a look-see when an osprey cruised in screeching like a banshee...

Yesterday I took my nightly walk in Wharton, a chunk of which is located across the street from my house. I live near a series of abandoned bogs. My wife and I see deer and an occassional fox fairly regularly when we walk. Last night it was just me and my dog and I decided to walk one of the...

I read Ben's post of 3-10-06 under the Rules section regarding posting of photos posing with carcasses and I could only think of one guy to whom that may pertain. That would be me. Ben said he doesn't have a problem with hunters or hunting but finds photos of people posing with carcasses...

Last minute outing today 3-5-06. Headed out to Friendship Bogs to do come caching with the wife and dog. We'll be there by 1:00 p.m. If you see a Red F-350 flag me down, or if you see two people and a springer walking, run us over. :) I will try and post some photos later. Scott

As a licensed surveyor I receive a journal known as "The American Surveyor". In this Jan/Feb edition there is an advertisement for historic map collections. They will print historical maps on archival paper using archival inks. I checked their inventory and they have a 1777 map of East and...

Here is a NJDEP news release I got today at work via the DEP email list. Pretty impressive that we have 304,000 acres of WMA's. Interesting too how we exceed NY state and the other mentioned New England States. Add in the State Forests and you'd swear there weren't any people living here...
