In the post about the Forked River Mountains Guy and Gerania mentioned camping and encountering people who may or may not have been unsavory characters. Has anyone ever had trouble with anyone else out there? Whenever I'm riding around out there and I see a car just sitting or a person milling...

I was walking through the yard and noticed a snake's tail sticking out from under the the deck. When I pulled some stuff away I saw this: We had put some netting under the deck to keep the leaves and small vermin out, but this guy got tangled in it somehow. When I got him cut away from...

Ya know those people that seem to crop up everywhere (work, school, the local bar, etc...) that just feel the need to tell extremely tall tales that have to "top it all?" The kind of people that everyone just sort of ignores because they don't want to be rude or argue? Today I just couldn't...

Hey everyone, I finally did it! Pretty soon I'll be moving back down to Mercer County because I'm all done up here. I'm the first in my family with my brother following close behind. Can't wait to do some exploring this summer...

http://www.nj.com/newslogs/starledger/index.ssf?/mtlogs/njo_ledgerupdate/archives/2006_05.html#139547 Poor guy wandered into the Irvington/South Orange area. Honestly I'm suprised he was shot by the police and not gang members...Now I'm a hunter and I believe in wildlife management via...

Murphy Farm, Hainesport, NJ Since I'm home from school for Easter break I went fishing with my friend Jon who works for an excavating company based out of Hammonton, NJ. The farm has a creek running through the property along with a spring fed pond. Yesterday we fished all afternoon. The...

I've always wanted to go check it out. My aunt used to barrel race there in the early '80s, but I've never been. Looks like a good time, so I was thinking of checking it out this summer.

I was reading the thread about people being afraid of the pines at night which turned into people talking about school trips to the pines and whatnot. Does anyone know of a documentary about the pines that may have been shot by NJN in say the late '70s early '80s? Reading that thread made me...

Once again I'm wasting time at work on Google Earth. I was just wondering, what exactly are the boundaries of Colliers Mills? When I was younger we used to only hunt the area south of West Veterans Highway. Is the area north of it part of the WMA too? Specifically the area bounded by Hawkin...

Just thought I'd post a few pics: Anyone planning on attending a good parade or two this weekend? Morristown does theirs a week early which is kinda nice because it gives you a chance to attend others the following week.

When using google earth at work (my laptop can't handle it :( ) I notice that a lot of the water features (lakes, rivers, creeks, etc...) show up very dark. However some show up as a brilliant sky blue-why is that? The ones that are very blue seem like they may be gravel pits or otherwise man...

Sounds like pheasant hunting at Collier's Mills when I was a kid. Cheney accidentally shoots hunting partner

So I've started my student teaching at a suburban high school here in North Jersey which shall remain unnamed. I decided to do an icebreaker activity that I learned a few years ago as a camp counselor to introduce myself and get the class talking. You pass around a roll of toilet paper...

I was poking around the Whitesbog site and saw the moonlight walking tours of the village and the bogs advertised. There's one coming up in February and I was thinking of going and taking the girlfriend. Has anyone been on one of these? Also, are there any working farms anyone knows of that...

So after showing up at 4:30 a.m. to plow the parking lot, clear sidewalks, etc...at work my boss (the owner of the ice rink) asks me when I'm leaving. I tell him that I'm scheduled til 12:30, that everything is pretty well taken care of, and that someone should spread ice melter on the...

I didn't believe it at first myself but it's definitely CNN's real website... Flaming mouse sets house on fire

Just wondering-I'll be graduating with a degree in secondary social studies education and I'll be sending out applications in the Central/Southern Jersey area...anyone teaching around there?

Hey guys, finally got around to posting these, but keep in mind that I'm no bruset! These were taken with an el cheapo CVS digital camera and the photos were all behind glass in the dim lighting of the Newark Public Library. Signed photo of Elizabeth White Barnegat Bay in the 1930s...

My Mom announced at Christmas that in light of the fact that I'm graduating from college in May we'll all be going to Turks and Caicos this June. I've been reading up on things to do and my priorities are as follows: Beaches Gambling Cigars I've heard that the best beaches are reached...

I'm convinced that North Jerseyans are boiling over with pent up rage at this point. I mean I guess it's understandable when you consider they spend 75% of their lives stuck in traffic and the other 25% smelling whatever awful odors come out of Elizabeth, but when it spills over onto me I get a...
