    I'm sure it once was, but this slide is also reversed.

    Don't forget Lois Morris. Together, they made up the female Three Musketeers of the Pine Barrens.:)

    "Hidden Lakes" in NJ Pine Barrens???

    I agree. Whether off-road or on, I feel like I am more one with my truck and have a better feel for the road and conditions when I am tightly strapped in.

    Tundra Swans This Year

    Saw a bunch at Whitesbog before Christmas but not in the numbers I've seen there in the past.

    Looking for someone..

    Not at all. :) It never hurts to ask about such things. Treasured opportunities may be lost if you don't. I do not know Bill well. I have just met him a few times and am passing on my thoughts about him. Like Woodjin said, I would not feel comfortable giving out contact information without...

    Looking for someone..

    Bill is a very shy person and while I have always found him gracious to visitors he does not particularly relish the notoriety that McPhee's book has given him. By way of friendly advice I would suggest respecting his privacy.

    Coyote conspiracy: Myth, or state-business collusion?

    After twenty five years, my wife still hasn't gotten used to my habit of examining dead things and poop. Life is short. One has to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. :)

    Coyote conspiracy: Myth, or state-business collusion?

    Coyotes imported by insurance companies. I guess anything's possible, but it sure sounds a bit far-fetched to me :confused:. I'm also always amused at the criticism of coyote populations by deer hunters. They are obviouly a predator of deer but sportsmen are also notorious for blaming their...

    Controlled Burn in Batsto

    Like ecampbell said, grass fields are usually burned every year. This is the most cost effecting way to keep forest succession from progressing from a field to a brush/tree stage. Some fields are maintained as such for game and non-game habitat, such as at Howardsville or Stafford Forge and...

    What is going on here?

    Could be Schairer Brothers. They are one of the last cedar mills in that area.

    Walmart to build on Route 9 in LEH

    Frenchy's Pit. I drowned a Rodeo in that hole when I was young and stupid. Well, stupider than I am now at least. ;)

    Forked River Mountain

    What exactly are you surprised at? All land is owned by someone, private or public. There is nothing much "we" can do other than support the organizations and agencies that have been aquiring and assembling tracts of public and private preserved land for a long time. The importance of this piece...

    Forked River Mountain

    It is owned by a large landholder/developer based outside the area. Their attention has mostly been elsewhere and little interest has been shown in either doing anything with the property or in selling it.

    Forked River Mountain

    Keep in mind that the mountain itself (the site in the above photos) is on private property. Casual visitors and explorers have not been given a hard time in the past and the site is not well posted, but if your visit coincides with the presence of patroling law enforcement you could be asked to...
