    Who else goes hiking with their dog?

    My Lab will fight if attacked but she ran up to the Doberman to say hi and the Doberman attacked her and she fought back.The Doberman was on a leash and was probably protecting her people from what she saw as a threat.My fault for not having her on a leash but I don't know how to leash train a...

    Canoe Signs

    I found all the canoeing streams either through John Parnes "Canoeing NJ Pine Barrens" and Through Ben Gertlers "Canoeing New Jersey" and later by checking out aerials and topos and going down and throwing a boat in. Never needed signs.If you want to know where to go we now have the internet and...

    Winslow WMA Crackdown !

    I wonder what they mean by a blue hole being "dangerous waters"? Any water is dangerous if you can't swim and if you can swim a blue hole is no more dangerous then a swimming pool.No rip currents,no current at all actaully,clear water so you can see what your stepping on.I"d definitely keep a...

    Revisiting An Old Well At Union Clay Works

    I found that well whilst looking for the graves. I love old wells,almost fell into the one next to Batsto Godfreys Bridge road.Didn't know it was there and when I seen it I walked closer not knowing that grass was over hanging the edge.Almost went in. Guy you do seem to be a Rattler magnet.

    Pine Barren Flora

    Bob you must have been on the plant hike I missed because of my eye. I wanted to go but was afraid to get sweat in my eye and get it infected and it was hot as hell that day.

    Pine Barren Flora

    Can't say as I do know where that is Bob.I can think of dozens of spots right down here in Bevan where old roads that have been gated and disused for quite some time look like that.That appears to be high ground with pines and bluberry .Also a cedar swamp road on the south side of the Mullica...

    Garoutte Tavern in Historic Pleasant Mills, New Jersey

    I don't know but my theory as to how the Bacon surname developed was as a deterrent to Arab Ships in the Barbary Pirate days. No Muslim would mess with a ship that had Bacon at the helm!
