Sláinte! Here's to great days ahead filled with all your favorite things! Enjoy your journeys Tee!

I think the reason we are seeing all of the drone activity in New Jersey is to manipulate CONGRESS to pass H.R. 8610 (Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety and Reauthorization Act of 2024). The current FAA Act of 2018 expires on the 20th of this month. It doesn't take that much effort to get...

I am glad I could help out. For some reason or another, I remember looking at that blue flowered plant when I was looking for turtles in Cape May. The showy plants are what usual catch my eye.

Sea-lavender?

Bob, were you in a salty area when you found that last example pictured?

Years ago, just after this area was properly opened up I heard bobwhite. I doubt any birds are still left in the general area. It's still a good area to check out. Great for mushrooms too. https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.77625197460175&lng=-74.55565193298588&z=16&type=hybrid&gpx=

This is sad news. The historic Washington Crossing Bridge is set to be replaced. In my opinion, the narrow bridge keeps traffic down in the park area and a modern replacement could be built at the sight of the former Yardley-Wilburtha crossing that was never replaced after the '55 flood. This...

I wish Willie Watson would come back to OCMS. His voice, that scratchy 78s sound, was a perfect compliment to Secor's.

Have you considered what you saw may have been Chinese sky lanterns? These have fooled many a folk around here with their bright lights and graceful slow flight on the wind currents.

The detail on the newel is a Victorian or Italianate interpretation of a steam hammer from the time period?

I can't believe what has happen in central and northern New Jersey. It is sad and alarming how deadly heavy rains can become. I saw first hand some of the damage today and it was brutal to see the power of water.

I heard a public announcement on the radio several times in the last few days that was a surprise. The attorney general was stating that off road vehicles can only be ridden on private property. The message was quite clear that if any rider was caught on a public road, state property, park or...

So does everyone here have a solid program that they use to help prevent tick bites and insect bites in general? I guess here is as good as any place to have a discussion. I have used four products in the for years and have been successful at eliminating almost all bites. Keep in mind most of...

I saw it and was torn between those two locations. I will take a guess just for the fun of it. Near here? https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.743429423266356&lng=-74.39878264089667&z=17&type=hybrid&gpx=

Bob, I was at first thinking you were behind the FAA tower, heading towards the Oswego. Then I thought Stafford Forge near the airport. Now I have no idea.

I was in Parker and Wharton for most of today. It doesn't even look like any rain even fell through that region. The ground soaked everything up. There were only a few small puddles. Every stream was still lower than usual. The aquifer and water through the region must be more complex of a...

If that land was buildable, there would have been a super Wawa built by now. It is nice location for one of the cookie cutter corporations.

Red, one of the lightship masts was a eatery landmark for decades along side of Route 130 as it crosses through Yardville. I forgot about the Giovi's beacon until I saw the ship in your link. http://grovevillememories.blogspot.com/2008/07/beacon.html

Fair enough. I just think it is unusual behavior for a Timber and I don’t see the dark colored fade in the tail.

I am going to say that the snake in the video is a Northern Pine. If you look closely at the 1:54 mark, you can see the taper in the tail with no rattle. Pine snakes are incredible hunters. I have seen them swimming in a cranberry bog chasing after mice along the bank. I have also seen them...
