Today was my 29th wedding anniversary and true to form, I didn't spend a lot of money on a present. :eek: My wife and I were teenagers when we started dating in the late 1970's and I also started land surveying back then as a summer job in high school and later, in the summers during college...

Awesome Jeff. You'll never know what's out there until you get off the beaten path.

I don't know if you have this or not but the Calls of NJ Frogs and Toads CD is excellent. You can order it along with the Field Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles for $19.95 here: http://www.conservewildlifenj.org/store/books/ The CD is temorarily out of stock, according to the website but you can...

I know you weren't planning on harming the frogs. I am just a d#ck that likes to stir the pot whenever the occassion presents itself. On a more serious note, if that's even possible for me, the link below will give you some of the hotspots for the PBTF. The study was performed by the Pinelands...

They were a classic dish at the Sweetwater German. If I remember correctly, they always threw one in with the surf and turf combo. My son wants to try gigging again this year when the season reopens on July 1.

Wait, what about gigs ? :)

I am from the Boyd school of thought. Between my job, which keeps me in the woods and fields a few days per week, hunting most of the year, and my time in the woods after work every day, I am literally good for 5-10 ticks per week. I pick up ticks nearly all year and most of the ticks I find on...

I sure hope they find a decent docent who isn't a dolt.

Boyd, This Wiki whacks it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_docent

If they are looking for true pines people they might have to change "docent" to "tour guide". :confused:

Your welcome Mr. Bob. You know me, have beer, will travel. Sometimes great distances as a matter of fact. :)

Great pics Jeff and and an interesting find on the axle. When I see something like that I like to think back to the last day that someone stood there and said, "To hell with it, let's get out of here."

It is a shame that they have to add the grain alcohol. I am a straight bourbon whiskey and cane juice rum man and the words "blended" are a bad thing when you have an appreciation for good high octane liquor. It looks like I'll have to try their unpolluted brandy.

No but a few of my friends' fathers worked there. It was a thriving industrial plant right up until Sherwin Williams pulled the plug around 1978. The remnant pollution in certain parts of town has resulted in the sleepy little hamlet hosting more than one federal Superfund site. Lucas owned...

Thanks for the link . I just found an amazingly detailed 1875 map of the Lucas Paint and Colorworks in Gibbsboro. I grew up there and remember when the factory was still cranking out paint and employing hundreds of people.

Welcome. I see SE Cam. Co. for your location. Lots to do right here whenever you have even an hour to spare.

Many species of fish in the pines have surprising tolerance for low pH and do very well. Some of the largest bass I have caught in my life were from lakes that were in the heart of the pines. For instance, Batsto Lake/River upstream of the village dam holds many nice bass and slab crappie, you...

I know bobpbx will be shedding a tear. He was certainly talented. May he rest in peace. As for me, listening to The Band or the Grateful Dead for more than thirty seconds gives me suicidal thoughts and makes me tear the knobs off of the radios that are playing it. :eek:

Chris, Are the spotted and mud turtles taken as part of an illicit pet trade or for food ? I have never heard of anyone taking those species. I do have our local F&W CO's cell number. We see him a few times of year back here during duck season.

That is good news Dragon. Even though I might have a good recipe or three for almost everything that walks or hops through the pines, (except snakes :)) I play by the all of the rules and waste nothing. I would be the first one to make the call to F&W if I saw something as wasteful and...
