    Pine Barren Flora

    Third picture down looks like a Robust Conehead.They are loud enough to give you a headache at close range.I found this out while tracking one down Bill was recording and when i stuck my head in the grass next to it instant headache.You can hear them as you drive by fields at high speed.

    Bogs above Constable Bridge

    I am going on ten year old memory,maybe more but I think the south side of that reservoir is easily negotiable,you just have to wade the creek at the bottom,the northern side turns into a morass as you are at the bottom of the Great swamp there.From the reservoir downstream Sleeper Creek is a...

    I have driven the Rockwood road all the way through twice.Both times was with a four wheel drive suzuki vtara.It was mid summer and about as dry as it gets.The ponds were still there but you could skim around the sides of some of them.Where I could see tracks going in and out i followed the...

    Bogs above Constable Bridge

    Last time i was at that resevoir it was fairly easy to get to though a bit wet.It wasn't a far walk but I came in from Pleasant Mills and drove most of the way to here http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.663338320390935&lng=-74.67639941375734&z=16&type=nj2015&gpx= but the bridge has been out...

Here is another...

    Boyd's Map of the Pines beta available

    I guess all that work I did verifying for Earth Science Corps on the Dividing Creek 7.5 min topo quad will never be used.They thanked me for it and sent me a patch but nothing I did ever appeared on any map.

    Boyd's Map of the Pines beta available

    Worked last night and missed this! Great Boyd! I love the old Topos! Is the government really that broke that they can't afford to update these in the same style? We're paying more taxes then we were back when these were created and getting less for it.

    New snake species hiding in plain sight

    Pine snakes are so susceptible to collectors because their dens are so recognizable to those who know what their looking for and of course every year the snakes head back to the same ones,the females anyway.The males dig in wherever and are harder to pin down.The holes you see in spring where...

    A hunter lied about poaching deer. (Not NJ)

    I was there back in the early 90"s.Wasn't any touring to be had then though the Army did take me up in a helicopter and give me a tour of the Finger lakes at 1200 ft.Hanging out of the door every time they banked a turn.Now that was pretty cool:-)

    There is a military installation called Fort Seneca in NY Finger Lakes region.I did several annual trainings there whilst in the National Guard.It is a storage facility for nukes and is heavily guarded with multiple fences and concertina wire and such around it.They have a herd of deer in there...

    A hunter lied about poaching deer. (Not NJ)

    If they are concerned about over population of deer the first thing the state could do is to quit planting fields specifically for deer to eat from in all the state WMA"s. It seems to me their trying to play a game where they increase the deer population as much as practicable to increase...

    A hunter lied about poaching deer. (Not NJ)

    Unfortunately skill and knowledge has largely been replaced by bait piles nowadays.Used to be you had to figure out where the deer were and when by tracks and sign.Now just throw out some sweet taters and bring em to you.

    A model for the geomorphology of the Carolina Bays

    You are saying wind action created those perfect ellipses all on the same directional axis? Is this what created the many vernal ponds here in South Jersey? Why the perfection in axis and shape in the carolinas but not elsewhere? Maybe, Just perhaps the carolina bays are Squatch tracks in snowshoes?

    A hunter lied about poaching deer. (Not NJ)

    Do poachers always poach during hunting season? I think if I made up my mind to poach that would be the last time of year I"d want to do it.

    A model for the geomorphology of the Carolina Bays

    Now that I study this I think I have it figured out! They"re Bigfoot Tracks Bob! They plainly look like very large Moccasin Tracks,either Bigfoot wears Mocks or it could be a heavily furred sole? No meteorite would leave impressions pinched in the middle.. This is a family of Ice Age Squatches...
