    Heart of the Pines...

    Just wanted to put this out there for all that haven't read it yet. Or heard of it. Since coming to these forums a few years back, people kept referring to a book. "Heart of the Pines" by John E. Pearce. I had read all of Father Beck's stuff and was looking for more. This sounded like the...

    Makepeace Lake water levels and a question

    Thanks for the info Joyce. It really is a beautiful lake. We saw tons of egrets and although I was told there is always a chance of seeing an eagle or two, I wasn't so lucky. Also saw some otter ripplings on the water, but couldn't spot any of those either. I didn't bring waders, but...

    Makepeace Lake water levels and a question

    Wow! I was out paddling with a friend on Makepeace Lake today and could not believe the water level! What is normally and 6-8 foot deep lake, at its deepest point today wasn't more than a foot and a half deep. Stumps sticking out everywhere, paddles covered in alga and a good 50 ft of...

    Rain

    I was at the College (ACCC) when it started. We were scheduled to be there until 9:15. Around 7:15 the skies opened up; by 7:45 we lost internet connection and couldn't do any more work. So we headed out. The Black Horse Pike was a trip. Most lights out and jug handles closed. I took the...

    Chigger Relief

    I carry a lint brush in the car and roll my clothes and skin. Seems to get most of the little suckers off. Of course they can be quick and my hikes can be long. Sometimes they get me before I get back to the car.... Think I would remember to put it in my pack....

    Swamp Monster, Then & Now

    That was a very cool day, Nick. A group of us hiked to the Swamp Monster. It was the third or fourth time I had been out in that area. The first time I went with the swamp frozen over though. It truly is a beautiful place when frozen. Let me see if I can find my pics...

    Fire Somewhere????

    There were three small fires that broke out in the Warren Grove area.....all were easily contained. I camped last night and there was a Stage 2 fire ban. I am not a big fan of breaking camp in the pouring rain, but this morning was a different story. I have never been so happy to see rain...

    Articles are going away!

    Well said, Glo. I have been watching this thread with my fingers crossed. I am always doing research on things I find and see and have found the majority of my info in those articles. As a moderator for the NJFFS group and a LEO site and the admin on a site of my own, I am well aware of how...

    Sunrise at 1/4 Mile Road
