And don't forget they would have had to redirect the water flow to keep the forms dry until the concrete set. That is some deep woods piney engineering!

I've always been interested in Mannis Duck pond. I even made a very similar observation about the challenges of building that dam. https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/where-is-this.9838/page-43 Great Jon/John's think alike, I guess. :-) Don Catts added some really interesting info...

These high winds we are getting right now are not helping any....

Looks like a great time! How far did you have to drag your boat?

I might be doing this this weekend. I've been wanting to do this trail for a while. I hiked part of it last summer but have been wanting to bike it.

Thanks for the info, all. Sounds like I'm in for quite a challenge. I'll save this one for when I'm bored and need something challenging to do. :-)

I was looking to do some paddling on the Nescochague at some point this summer. Does anyone know if you will get any problems if you put in at the dam? In my book Paddling the Jersey Pine Barrens, it recommends asking permission, but that was written when the camp was in operation. I haven't...

Looking over pics of one, I think you're right. I was able to see it a lot better in person than that pic shows and it looks like the pics I saw online.

Thanks everyone. Beavers it is, it seems. I really can't figure out why they would do it, perhaps it is to make it easier to get out of the water as pinelandpaddler suggests. Anyway, the junior explorer had to try out daddy's boots when I got home. And yes, her shirt says "I'm Difficult" and...

I have Jersey Genesis, but I just didn't get into it. Maybe I'll have to try the others. So many books, so little time!

Excellent book! I rank this one number 3 after The Pine Barrens (McPhee) and Barbara Solem's book.

I was out exploring the Friendship bogs this AM. A little wet, but a beautiful morning none the less. Was out testing my new Tamron 28-300mm lens. Obligatory bog pic Some sort of lily? Martin? Everywhere I went, I saw these piles that were dregdged out of the bogs. Anyone have an...

Thanks Ben! Yours isn't too shabby either!! :)

I was just at that "This is us" spot at Friendship this AM! :-)

I have an Instagram account, but I've pretty much abandoned it. I guess I could never get over the square format, although I know that's changed. I've always been more partial to Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/11256863@N05/

Hi all, One of the lightning rod issues in the battle over the MAP was the damage that has been done at Jemima Mount. It was used an example and pictured in nearly every newspaper article about the MAP. Open Trails has proposed a protection project to the DEP and this project was accepted. We...

Jason, if the personal attacks stop and the PPA is honest about its plans and agenda, then I think we can possibly build a bridge here. However, we have been to this same exact spot at multiple times in the past, both in this forum and in private discussions. (As Ben mentioned in the past, we...

I have been watching this thread from the side lines because you all are probably aware of my own thoughts on this topic and are sick of hearing from me. However, since we have Jason engaged, I'll just add this: In my real life, I'm an engineer and a manager. All I do all day every day is...

Thanks for sharing Spung-Man. I hadn't heard of the full moon rule of thumb, I've always used May 15th as the goal post for planting warm season crops.

Got some tomatoes, garlic, spinach, broccoli, hot peppers, lettuce, pickling cucumbers. I use a motion detection sprinkler to keep the deer away. (that black thing on the tripod) and drip irrigation connected into my sprinkler system. I have really loved the Ramapo tomato that was brought...
