    Missing Woman

    "Police revealed this week that a couple spotted Lopez while driving on Lost Lane in Penn State Forest in Woodland in southern Burlington County around 6 p.m. on April 13. She was walking alone on the road. They spoke briefly to her before driving off, and then the couple spotted her car stuck...

    Sleepy

    Not so hard to imagine if you've been around here for awhile, discussion of bugs and how to keep them away has often been a "hot topic". :)

    I took "cover up" to mean "hide". In other words, the smell of DEET overwhelms their receptors so that they just smell it and not you. But if you want to challenge Sue's knowledge of insecticides... I know which side of that bet I'd take! :D

    An old post from Sue about ticks and DEET, but seems related. But this was from 2008 so there may be more research since then...

    I never had a reaction to DEET (that I recall), but I just don't like the smell or feeling of it on my skin and don't use it.

    Rally this weekend?

    Thanks! No avoiding that however, couldn't find a map but sounds like that route goes right down my street!

    Rally this weekend?

    Saw a few of these signs this morning, apparently they will be travelling through Peaslee WMA and Belleplain State Forest on Hunters Mill Road and First Avenue, perhaps Joe Mason Road too? What/when is this event and is the route available somewhere (so I can avoid it ;) )?

    Help identifying what i see on Lidar

    That's something I actually considered once, but decided against it. Lots of work to write an editor with enough options to be useful, and most people wouldn't use it anyway. But there is a screenshot button (camera icon) that gives you a "clean" PNG image without any of the user interface and...

    Help identifying what i see on Lidar

    BTW... if I understand that Beers map, it looks like the Slater & Getsinger Glassworks you have circled is the historic site now known as the Estelleville Glassworks. The location that Brandon is talking about is about two miles Northeast of there...

    It's just me, I make the maps, write the software, manage the server.... pay the bills! :D Thanks, glad you find it useful... and welcome to the NJBP forums!

    Driving Question

    Man, that is some ugly Google AI enhanced imagery! :D Have never noticed that spot before. Guessing that box with the X just means don't stop and block the intersection when the light changes. A number of years ago they had a safety campaign, "Don't block the box". For example, see this...

    interesting old book i found.

    There must be a number of other body parts used to describe topography.... arm, knee, foot, ankle, heel, hand, elbow, gut, throat, eye... mouth (like Boca Raton) and no doubt others. :D

    interesting old book i found.

    Head of River also comes to mind. But the origin of the Tuckahoe River is nowhere near there. I guess they meant this was as far upstream as boats would go?

    interesting old book i found.

    Sounded familiar but I had to look it up again. FYI, here's a map https://boydsmaps.com/#14.00/40.040998/-74.456553/historic62k/0.00/0.00 Funny, this is right on the border between two different Cook maps, so "of Snag" doesn't appear on my version because of the seam...

    Nothing here at all, it got dark and windy for a little while but no rain. After it passed, the temperature had dropped about 10 degrees though.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    We got a good soaking down here last night, woke me up around 1:00 AM with lots of thunder, lightning and pounding rain. Appeared to be a narrow line of storms passing right over me for a couple hours. They scraped the roads in Peaslee earlier this week - which surprised me because they weren't...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Different kind of pattern this afternoon, storms are coming out of the Northwest and moving through NJ towards the Southeast. So far, they are all North of me, but not by much! :siren:
