And now we know why the Forest Fire Service named it the Shotgun Fire. This man is in some deep sh*t. https://brick.shorebeat.com/2024/11/brick-man-charged-with-starting-jackson-wildfire-using-shotgun-rounds/

I had to review a site plan for Berlin Township in the late spring this year for a change in use of an existing industrial building. The building is located at the headwater area up against the railroad. There was water in the river back then, but any flow was imperceptible. Here is the spot I...

My wife has been staying at my son’s house babysitting our youngest grandson a mile and a half north of the Kettle Run fire since Wednesday night. The wind from the northwest and west made all the difference and she dodged that bullet. I stayed hear last night and I’ll be going home tomorrow...

Alright No Boat, you really started something. :D

One of the best maps available for the woods. I heard that Boyd's Maps will be adding it soon. :D

Berlin Borough Hall tonight when I was leaving work. Crazy.

Ain't getting any better.

With all this fire mayhem, my well guys from Kevin Anderson Well Drilling still made it out to my house. We have water !! My pump went after 22 years of flawless service. Their main well business property on Sycamore had to be evacuated and he relocated his trucks to another property he owns in...

Looks very serious. My well pump at home just threw a breaker and my well guy is across the road from the fire. I called him and he said they have been told to evacuate. Local crick water baths tonight I suppose. :(

NJ Forest Fire Service just confirmed 50 homes threatened. It looks like the same area that burned tow weeks ago. Not good. Details on their FB page.

I tried fishing the north edge (State-owned) of Beaver Dam Lake about 40 years ago. It lasted about 37 seconds. I parked on Burnt Mill and quietly snuck to the edge of the lake early on a Sunday morning with an old Gibbsboro buddy of mine. I casted a Texas-rigged rubber worm as far as I could...

My son lives on Maple and my wife is there now. She said looking west down Maple the view is very smoky.

You ain't kiddin'!!

Smoke was noticeable at my house 5:40 this morning. I thought it was a remnant of some other fire. Very scary stuff. The first time I have been really concerned about living 100 feet from the edge of Wharton. Winds are east now which should keep it away from me.

A small stretch of muddy water was boiling with small fish near Hampton Road but it was so muddy you couldn't see the fish. That is where I found the dead Banded Sunfish.

Great response GermanG! I can see that your time at RU Cook College was well spent, as was mine. Doctors Ehrenfeld, Wolgast and Applegate would be proud! Droughts are all part of the global ecosystem. Right now, species that prey on fish in Deep Run are living large but they will have to move...

Something like that would be more in the realm of Fish and Wildlife. I believe it's too late to do anything now and I also believe that the logistics are monumental. Workers would have to walk the interior of these immense bogs on foot and collect fish from puddles with nets and buckets. The...

As it turns out, I have Windows 11 Home. So, no built-in resizer.

Ed, Do you mean Windows 10? I just confirmed that I have Windows 11 in work and I have the resize option with just a right click on a photo.. I am pretty certain I have Windows 10 at home and I suppose that may be the problem. Boyd's advice is very good too. With Windows 10 just right click a...

Took a ride out to Deep Run on Saturday for a quick hike with family. My wife, my son MIke, his wife Alex and her father made the trip along with two of my grandsons, 3 year-old Sage and his 6 month-old baby brother Ford were on the outing. Sage is a veteran hiker and has hiked since he could...
