    More Rain This Year????

    Guy you need a jacked up four wheel drive. Though I must admit you get more places in a low rider front wheel drive car then I"ve ever seen anybody else get to.I bet people are occasionally amazed when they see you in the barrens.They probably exclaim "How the hell did he get back here with...

    Mannis Duck Pond on Jakes Branch

    The island I frequent appears to be between the arms of the Mill Pond.There is nice islands both above and below where Springers dumps in.Not really islands but high dunes.Bet there was a bit of activity in those places to make them the humusless wonder lands they are today.

    The Story of NJ Civil Boundaries 1606-1968

    Well after checking the topos it appears the location of the granite monuments and apparently the accompanying stones are marked right on the topos.At first i was confused and I thought the old line which favored New jersey further north was monumented but it doesn't appear so.It looks as if NJ...

    The reason you have the evenly spaced semi circles is so they can practice getting their range and knowing exactly how far a target is.They used to have old tanks sitting out there they could drag around from place to place.

    New at Ft. Dix

    That end of the post is the artillery ranges.They used to be a bit north of there closer to the NE corner but that definitely looks like a new one.We used to bivouac exactly across the road (east) of there in boot camp when we did our 12 mile ruck march.

    Great Egg Harbor River Canoeing

    I heard years ago that the New Brooklyn Williamstown section had been cleared.If it is it is a gorgeous section and down to Piney Hollow is also.My least favorite section would be from 54 to Weymouth not that the creek isn't pretty but the houses on the south bank and 322 noise makes it less...

    East Plains Wilderness, A PBX Hike

    Birds can see color as well as we can.Thats why the males are so colorful because the females are attracted to them.I don't believe a tree can manipulate it's own DNA.DNA is a code so therefore had to have a writer.I won't get into that here but I"d say the early fall foliage was written into...

    Thick Hole

    Another place that just popped up that neither I or my friend who are both native Millbillies have heard of is North Newark.You'd think any place part of Millville would be South Newark but Wikipedia says North Newark is in Millville. Any one out there know where such place is?

    Black Gum do whats known as fruit flagging.Their leaves turn early,usually maroon or purple.They turn early to alert the birds that their drupes are ripe and ready for eating so the birds can squirt them out else where and make more Black Gum.Sassafrass is also a fruit flgger.
