Bobpbx, that's exactly when it got crazy at Oswego last night too. Peaceful quiet for hours; then out of nowhere BOOM! Blinding pollen storm

Guy, I was wondering the same thing haha. Boyd, last night the pollen was crazy once the wind picked up. I never saw anything like it. Felt like I was breathing in fire smoke. Weird thing is I felt amazing when I woke up this morning. Surprised I never heard of it being an extremely healthy...

Has anyone on these forums ever heard of harvesting pine pollen for consumption? Apparently it is extremely healthy for humans with an endless list of benefits. I never knew about this until yesterday. Only reason I found out is due researching pine pollen after being stuck in a blinding pollen...

I have had Lyme disease since I was around 7 years old. I am very cautious when hiking in the pines or anywhere outdoors

Finally found some time to get the telescope out a few nights ago. However, I forgot to check the moon phase and my observing session was cut short due to it washing out the sky. It was still nice just to get out to the pines for a few hours. Just curious what types of telescopes members here on...

And would that be the bombing range road in barnegat or tuckerton? Thanks

Gibby, does the bombing range road pit provide darker skies than the Oswego lake area? I have never been to bombing range road and was thinking of checking it out since you suggested it.

46er, since you are looking at a beginner type of scope the ex90 should be a solid fit. Especially if you are looking for one that would be easier to transport then a dobsonian. It's focal length is at 1250 mm which will give you views of many many deep space objects especially in the dark sky's...

I am surprised there hasn't been any more forum user input on this thread topic

Did you find both stones? There were 2 within 10 yards of eachother. I still can't believe that you and guy though we were talking about seeing a different stone that NONE of us had visited, when it turned out to be 2 stones all 4 of us never knew were there!! I still want to get out and snag...

Thank you for the info Al. Have you gotten out to Bass River to check out the coords I sent you and guy a while back? Boyd, I usually do see the light pollution from Ac out there. It's a shame; the pine barrens darkness is ruined from outside influence.

Thank you for the great info gibby! I will be sure to check them out. I forgot to mention I have also tried carranza field, but it is not dark enough when compared to the others. At the other places mentioned I have been able to see the Milky way and m44 (beehive cluster) has appeared as a small...

Hi to all. I have always been interested in the history of the pine barrens. I have even spent some years discussing the history with some individuals on this very site. My explorations have included countless hours searching the pine barrens, often resulting in great finds. However, I have...

The WS9 and T_ stone: Notice part of the T is missing along with the other letter, if there even was another letter

Yes sir

Lol the avatar; al seemed confused that I was not the same guy when he saw me Sunday. He said he was expecting a guy of a similar age to him. The avatar is a picture of Tom delonge. He is the guitarist / vocalist in the band blink-182. The picture is from a music video they did called first...

Are u planning on attacking th NN tract again soon? Any info to coincide with the ws9 or T_ stone yet? I remember when we got to the location where the dated NN stone was supposed to be. I was so determined to find it I almost lost you guys because I was poking around everywhere lol

Yeah I have to admit, that was some tough terrain. We got lucky though; the briars could have been much much worse

Shortly after departing from stone searching with Guy and Al, Wolfspider (Don) and i headed for Bass River where we found the WS9 stone followed by the T_ stone. The other letter was not visible on the T _ stone due to the stone being broken on a sharp angle. Overall it was an amazing day for...
