    Seasons are a Changin'

    Al, as I walked down the road I had to get around 20 water hazards, however it was quite easy to do so. I didn't have go into the water far before it was up to the top of my boots. I believe many of those puddles are at least two feet deep. The third picture in the original post is a side...

    Seasons are a Changin'

    Being treated with some early fall weather on Friday, I explored the area east of Route 206 about 1/2 mile south of Atsion Lake. I walked down a road for about 1 1/2 miles, loaded with water hazards with go arounds that were probably created many years ago. Looking at the change in the foliage...

    Duckenhat

    How about Ducking Hat Swamp. I found that on the PDF Map for Four Mile Springs Preserve. Looking at other maps, it appears that Burnt Bridge Branch passed though that area. This is the only info I found that comes close to what you are asking. Ron

    Pomerania

    I did a search on the Net. I got one hit that Pomerania is located in Atlantic County, but it did not know where. I got another hit under Ancestry.com that listed all the municipalities of Atlantic County. It mentioned Pomerania/Galloway Twp. Also there was a immigrate from a area of Prussia...

    Pine Barren Flora

    Bob. I found a large moth in my backyard this morning. That took me back to the picture of the caterpillar you had posted. With a little search on the net, that caterpillar appears to be Cecropia hyalophora a member of the family Saturnidae, the giant silk moths. What I saw was Antheraea...

    Pine Barren Flora

    I don't know about Penn State Forest, but I read that the CCC Camp at Bass River was active until 1942. They were administered by the US Army. Then again, there was a major 5-day military maneuver that took place at Penn State Forest in 1941. It was to simulate an invasion by a foreign power...

    Pine Barren Flora

    Bob; All great pictures. Your out doing me. The picture of the stream appears to be either the Cook Branch or Westecunk Creek across from the bombing range. Both have stony bottoms that gives me the appearance of trout streams in the pines.

    Out Bogging

    Redneck; that's a good suggestion. A bridge. The structure is near the Batsto River just down stream from where it goes under Carranza Road. The steel structure may be placed right in the water. The river is not wide there.

    Out Bogging

    Thanks 46er. That's probably what it was used for. I didn't think of that.

    Out Bogging

    Al, I totally agree what you said. It was built as a solid structure to hold a lot of weight. It appears it was built by hunters, but I'm not sure it was to be used to sleep on. There is no other debris in the area. It's located not much more than 100-125 yards from a hardtop road.

    Out Bogging

    Here's another view of the structure. It has a metal frame. I felt it was a known structure built by a group of hunters. Maybe to place deer on it.

    Out Bogging

    With the heat of today, I explored a bog that has easy access from a well know road in Wharton. There are two small bogs with some separation between the two. The second one has a more defined stream along its edge with signs of cranberries. Lophiola aurea (Gold-crest) was the predominant...

    Overcast Day at Long Causeway

    I had to get a 'piney fix' today. If the temps were under 90 degrees, I'm going to the pines even though there was a chance of rain. With all the rain we been having, I thought that the Long Causeway Bogs would be good easy place to roam. I've been here quite offend, at times to pick up...

    Just Tootling Along

    This morning I made a trip to the pines to revisit the area in my earlier 'tootling' post. As I expected, a countless number of flowers were present. Being away for three weeks, I missed the prime time for two significant plants, Narthecium americanum and Tofieldia racemosa. With so many...

    Not your 'Piney' Fishing Hole

    I didn't know about the stocking of muskies in Cooper, but I was aware of tiger muskies. I hear of tiger muskies being caught from time to time. I recently heard from a reliable source that a walleye was caught on the river side that forms the lake. The river flows through Camden out to the...

    Not your 'Piney' Fishing Hole

    46er; that article looks promising for those three species mentioned. It as a good read. Thanks for posting. I notice that Cooper River Lake (southern Jersey) is to get surplus only muskies in 2017. That's great for me, I just live a block from the lake.

    Not your 'Piney' Fishing Hole

    Critter: Fly-ins are the ultimate. Fly in to a small lake that doesn't get a lot of fishing pressure. And rough it for a week. Where we go, it's a boat-in to the island camp. Our cabins have indoor plumbing and full kitchen. It's the only outfitter on a large a body of water, so overall...

    Not your 'Piney' Fishing Hole

    During the last week of June, I met up with a group of 6 from Minnesota to drive up to Canada to go fishing for 5 days. We crossed the border at International Falls and drove additional 200 miles northwest to Whitedog, Ontario. We stayed at a fishing camp located on an island in the Winnipeg...

    Image upload issue to a Post with new camera

    Thanks 46er, for the added info on resizing. I'll take a look at it. I just got finished resizing 10 photos using Windows Paint in preparation of my next trip report post. I'll see how it goes.

    OK. It looks like I'm ready to post some photos. Thanks again Guy, for your help. The scroll bar showed when I initially uploaded the photo. But when I hit 'Post Reply', the scroll bar disappeared.
