I used to love canoing, and kayaking in my ik (inflatable kayak), in the Pine Barrens. I miss that. It's been a long time. I even went in the winter, breaking through the ice.

That brings up this old thread: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/searching-for-a-cave-in-the-pines.8965/page-2

They no longer recognize that 136 Sahara desert temp as proven legit, and i believe they r also no longer recognizing the 134 Death Valley - yes, Badwater salt flats - temp as legit - so when i was there in that photo above it was the hottest confirmed day on earth (tho I'm told it got even...

Looks like a good spot to film the final scene of a great classic silent movie...

Not sure. Not sure i was even really snakebit. I had been camping in and around Death Valley in July 1995. temp up to 130 one day on the salt flats which was just 4 degrees less than the hottest authenticated temp ever recorded on earth at the same place (did it again there this year!). That...

Photo of a snake i took in the NJPB by Simm Place on 22 Sep 1971. What kind is it?

You have rattlesnakes. I've seen bigger ones in NY-NJ than I have in Arizona. I almost stepped on a giant one up in Near Mtn State Park. I got snake bit near Death Valley though.

Wow! I just walked by this fellow ten minutes ago, 2,500 miles away but u have them too...

Not in the Pine Barrens, but moi, fireman, Pennsylvania RR....

A couple of years ago i posted the pictures i took of a train wreck - overturned RR cars - near Carranza Memorial about 50 years ago. And, speaking of the bombing range, 21 years ago when my rented car got bogged down in a remote part of the barrens (exact location still saved on my gps, i...

They were great on the narrow sand roads, small, good ground clearance and traction, and another great advantage they had over the big 4WD pickup truck i have now is that u could c what's in front of you. The big truck hood badly blocks the view, especially if u r going over an incline. The...

Thank you! I always liked that event. They used to activate the water mill-driven lumber mill and everything and maybe they still do! I told my friend about it. Maybe she'll go. She remembered that i once bought her a beautiful blue bottle from that Fair. I forgot about that. I have a...

Is anything in them? Can u c inside them? It looks like the type of thing that people might use to hide things in, like a PVC cache.

I just noticed this - too late. My friend back east might have liked that. Is this the annual festival that used to be held in Batsto, or is something different?

Out here in the beautiful Arizona desert, same thing.

Oops - and I'm repeating myself too! That 1969 article starts off about the Plains part of the Barrens and includes a photo - and that's me there in my avatar standing in the Plains. But the last times i was down there - 2012 was the last - the Plains - the dwarf forest - was much higher than...

PM me please.
