Smokejumper found a very interesting article to discuss. He only has an image snip of the article, so I will retype it here giving full credit to the source. I think this is okay, since we are not copying, per se, Boyd. If you think otherwise, I'll delete the post. Source: Courier-Post, Camden...

Where was I today. One or more of you must know this.

I went out to the hot burn yesterday afternoon. It was so humid I could only go 1/4 mile from the car. Awful, nothing made me cool, the humidity would not allow it. Found this among my plant specimens. That's a hat pin I use to manipulate things.

This is an odd tree. That is resin on the back of the leaves. I know what it is, I cheated. Anybody ever see it before?

Here's an odd one for you. I think I have it nailed down to the genus, but it has two features that are not matching up with what it keys to. It's somewhat fragrant, and the leaflets are sessile on the rachis, meaning, they have no small subpetiole, it's attached right to the stem of the leaf...

Near an intermittent pond. Ocean County. What say you?

I really like this oak. I had one in my yard. Very hardy and stable. This found on the Hovnanian tract near South Toms River. In my experience, it's actually very infrequent in the Pine Barrens. Name it.

"By day five, Mr. McClish began to think more seriously about his predicament." That tells me he's too relaxed, and he was likely wandering too much. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/23/us/forest-rescue-big-basin-boulder-creek.html?unlocked_article_code=1.100.64h_.ERKuItKPRBqY&smid=url-share

I'm not. Would definitely ruin my day. What about you...

Do any of you have experience with these? If you did, would you buy a different one after getting yours, and if so, for what reason did you change your mind...

I see it mentions AC airport. Did you see what they are doing down there? They cut forest all the way to the Parkway. Must be expanding runway space.

Boyd, I want to thank you for putting the property lines into your Maps. It saved me a lot of time and aggravation. I just got another survey to do; 5 different lots totaling 500 or so acres. I want to ensure that I don't go outside the bounds, so I used your property line set to plot waypoints...

I followed a small tributary of Dias Creek yesterday, all the way to the source, which was a perfectly pristine and lovely open seep-swamp. There is something really grand about the small streams here. Unlike the pines, the ground is only about 8 feet above sea level, and because it's a...

Next time your buddy brags about his $2M house, tell him: "Oh yeah, well I looked at your house on Lidar, and it's just a blob of clay, same as the rest of us. You ain't nothing special".

Yesterday, in a sort of maritime forest (close at least). Several of these. I'm guessing 4 feet in diameter. Can you guess what it is?

I was surveying a stream near Colliers Mills and was suprised to see snappers come back from the dead. They looked dead, but were not. One was maybe 25-30 pounds, the other maybe 44-50. The one on the log is huge. He must have spent a week getting up there on the log. PS: how come they don't...

First visit to this in Dennis Township. While it is vast and beautiful, the cedar quantity does not live up to it's name. But, they are overall larger and taller than ours here north of the Mullica. This track took several hours to navigate. I did not want to go too far as I had no car at the...

Interesting presentation. Bottom line theory is, when the pines are jam-packed together and so more able to suck water out of the ground (and thereby evaporate more water to the atmosphere), our aquifers are more rapidly depleted. At least that's what I get out of it. I knew about...

I visited the subject wildfire area yesterday. This was definitely an extremely hot fire. In the top 5 of my memory for sure. All the trees in the fire path were burned right to their distant tips, and in many places the duff was burned right down to the sand. It probably was a slow moving fire...
