I stopped by Second Time Around Bookstore in Mt. Laurel this weekend to pick up the last two issues of Sojourn, partly motivated by the Calico article. We coincidentally visited the Burlington County Prison Museum in Mt Holly, mentioned above, while in the area. If you haven't been there, I...

Being led by the nose, in the field or on the road, by a phone or a GPS. Being driven by a self-driving car. Humans are quickly becoming irrelevant. I'll be back. :cool:

Ditto. Animal rights activists can be counted on to sacrifice the needs of an endangered species to those of a commonplace or even introduced one. Whatever the issue, I have far more interest in informed opinions, not emotional ones.

I think where the current laws do make a degree of sense is that chuck hunting is done on open ground, typically farmland in the case of centerfire rifles, where you are far less likely to put a bullet into someone else. Deer hunting, however, can occur in any habitat we have, including heavy...

I've been peppered with shot twice while hunting. One time was while duck hunting and the other while small game hunting. Considering how small our state is, and with our open space getting continually getting smaller, I'm very glad we do not have unrestricted rifle use. In states with plenty of...

Just a hair before me. I was '82 but I stayed a year longer after some slight curriculum tweaking. I do often miss the smell of pig in the morning. A hell of a lot better than that Squibb smell! :)

I got me one of them forestry degrees and I never heard it either! Or perhaps I forgot it after 35 years, never having had reason to use it. Speaking mostly to English-speaking people my whole career, I got by calling them "trees that held their leaves all winter" :D

It's funny you should say that. I was noting how few were left. There used to be far more freight, passenger cars and engines stored there. *Edit: I am talking about the vintage equipment stored on the SRNJ tracks. Perhaps you are talking about the hopper cars temporarily parked on the Beesely...

Sent you a PM about this.

Based on what I've encountered in the days since the storm, you may be dealing with trees blocking the river, as well as the roads. Liveries have cleared many of the rivers they serve in the past but it may be too soon after the storm for that..

I'd swear I saw that bridge once in an Indiana Jones movie but I think crocodiles were also involved. :)

I've heard of fruit flagging before. It was so long ago I'd forgotten about it until Al brought it up and I can't remember where I heard or read it. Like Bob, I'm both suspicious and open-minded about such things. While it does make sense, there are plenty of other woody shrubs and trees that...

It's not a new concept. When I was younger, many state parks had such concessions, including some of those listed. Many of the structures from which they operated still exist, such as the one at Bass River.

Bob, I was able to tour one of the cedar regeneration projects on the site and that indeed is their intention.

Haines has been implementing a forest management plan put together by a consulting forester. If you look at the uplands south of those fields you can also see where there has been major thinning as well. By having a combination of thinned, clearcut and undisturbed forest, a diversity of habitat...

In my opinion, letting only fishermen drive on the beach is a fair compromise, as opposed to letting nobody drive on it. Fishermen often haul much more gear (bait, tackle, ice chests, caught fish, etc.) than can be easily carried long distances. Few of the other user groups do so, and there is...

Does anyone know how this boat came to rest at this location? I've been paddling by it for a very long time and have been asked that question myself more than once. I remember when it was in much better shape and certainly didn't look like anything one would navigate that river in. It seemed to...

That photo looks like the Finnegar farm in Lacey. I've also pointed out those trees and their browse lines to others many times. I'm not fond of driving, baiting or even game cameras (when used for hunting), for that matter. At least driving is a traditional legal method in the barrens. I...

Needs bluebird boxes ;)
