They did the same thing in Trenton last week. It's very upsetting. They darted it and transported it to a wildlife rehab center where they euthanized him.

Actually, a Google search tells me that I am wrong in my guess. Guess I'm even more clueless.

Pine Barrens Sandwort, Arenaria caroliniana ?

Thanks so much for posting this, Onehand, I really appreciate it. It was a great program, and really interesting to me as someone who grew up near the Meadowlands and who now lives on the edge of the Trenton Marsh. It makes me feel really good to see the very large impact of the environmental...

'03 Wrangler, modified to heck after this photo was taken. We have it out in the Pines most weekends (ONLY on the roads). Yesterday, I put my foot against the windshield while we were going over a particularly bumpy road, and I cracked the windshield. I hurt the Jeep. :(

I probably wouldn't opt for an inflatable unless I had very limited space to store it. I have heard many stories of them popping, which would definitely suck! :( They are clumsy to paddle and not comfortable for long trips, IME. You can get an affordable kayak at Dick's Sporting Goods or...

Those are beautiful photos. I am envious of your eye. That second photo of the spadefoot toad is nothing short of slendid. :)

An excellent idea. Thanks for the tip, Guy! :)

Ooh, yeah, jewel weed. That works pretty well. I have made a tea out of the plant and patted it on my arm with a cotton ball, and it really did soothe it. Completely forgot about that one. It's cool how it usually grows right near poison ivy. :)

Oogh, sorry to hear that. My husband and I have been nursing an awful mystery case of poison ivy these past two weeks. (we honestly can't think of how we got it). I have been doing some reading about it, and have gotten a few tips: -Alcohol is what you should wash with when you first find out...

Okay, then, you go first. Go ahead, have a nice big plate of it. We'll watch. :)

I dunno. I keep thinking. They're just not quite right, those bones. They sort of look like livestock bones, but....not totally. Hm.

Being a geek, I was thinking about this, and what could have had such large, stout bones. And the skull with a big forehead. Anyone ever heard of feral hogs wandering the pines?

We had spraying all through our town in North Jersey in the 70s, anyone remember that? They sprayed all the trees with Sevin using huge high pressure hoses. Not a terribly toxic pesticide until you hose it around like that. Sheesh. Good thing technology has gone far since then and we can use a...

oogh. I think I'm gonna be sick. :cry:

Aw, bummer that you don't have photos. The skull would really help. Do you remember seeing any teeth?

Were those the only two bones you found in the area, or was there evidence that it was a whole beast?

Bovine = cow. I like to think that Bigfoot had an, um, hand in it. :) I'd say it's more likely that your garden-variety homo sapiens sapiens dragged it (or parts thereof) there, or it's also feasible that it was a feral cow. It happens. There are some steers that have been wandering along the...

Forgive me for replying, being a girlie and all, but I used to do some fairly hardcore road biking, (girls get saddle sores, too!) and learned quickly that A&D ointment (or even Vaseline) smeared liberally over the affected area will alleviate the problem. It feels only a little oogey at first...

Those bones could very well be bovine, and that would be my guess. I found part of a horse spine in Lebanon SF this winter. I assumed it was carcass that was dragged there. *shrug* Nice photos! Looks like a great day was had by all. :)
