you took the exact same ride I did last evening and the same direction:-)Only I also went partially down penn swamp road.heading back out in an hour to check the interior.

I just rode around the fire yesterday evening.It definitely cleared out the underbrush north of Penn Swamp.Didn't seem to burn as hot south of the swamp.Didn't look like it crowned,at least not on the perimeter.It was getting dark so I didn't cut through the center on the sand roads that went...

I ran into Him once right here http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.80361758930464&lng=-74.24282569091798&z=14&type=nj2015&gpx=. me and another old student were running around the barrens and ran into TBJ at this spot.he was chain smoking with his little son by his second wife.i think his name...

Any girl that will grab an eel is cool in my book:-)

The balloons are unsightly and they are literally everywhere.In the deepest darkest swamp but very occasionally I will happen on a bunch with some helium still in them.Party Time! I have entertained many an explorer with bawdy songs sung in the key of helium.

There is an aluminum observation tower there Scott.They built it of wood first maybe ten years ago and the locals burnt it to the ground within a week.They then rebuilt with aluminum.The bridge is also new.It is an arch about eight feet over the creek.hand line crabbing is now virtually...

Will these medications work for me? I don't know who picks up more ticks,me or the dogs?

No I don't.Is that in one of the two mentioned preserves? I know of Tulip Poplar and black gum that big but that tree appears to be neither kind.Hey Scott can you ID that bark?Looks like red oak leaves on the ground.

I know where Hollywood Beach is.The old road back there was swallowed by the sand hole.Have to get there by boat now. If you go to Weir Creek bridge on Turkey Point road and look to the left you'll see an island out on the marsh.I spent many a day hanging out there with my dog.barn Owls nest out...

Their New Jerseys Big Sky country.Ten minutes from home! Lived in Dividing Creek as a kid and had a canoe out there a lot.

God Bless hunters. Sometimes we rub each other wrong but without them NJ would be an asphalt parking lot.Might take up the sport again when I retire and have time,mostly for skins.Hard to get well skinned animals for my buckskin brain tan hobby.Most hunters hack the skins off with a machete.

Thanks Scott! I tresspassed out there maybe seven years ago.Mom lives right up the road.There is an awesome stone out there with G carved on one side and H on the other for Greenwich/Hopewell twp.Plus an old graveyard half of which is hidden in the woods.Several old graveyards out there...

When I lived in Belleplain I remember reading a story in the paper that a man I believe in Woodbine was lying under his van in the day time working on it when a coon ran across the yard and bit him in top of the head.he killed it with I believe a lug wrench and it tested positive for rabies...

8,9 and 10 I don't really see as a threat but everything else is spot on.forgot about wasps. I"ve trod on more then a few yellowjacket nests. Being observant is of no help with an underground nest.

every fire I"ve ever wandered around in either while still burning or out within last few days I have found at least one dead boxer,sometimes several.No dead snakes so i assume they get underground.Boxers obviously aren't fast enough or can dig fast enough to get away.I love how fire opens the...

I camped for a week on winter in the 80's right about where that x for origin is.Hung out at penn swamp pond and the falls downstream for most of the week. SHHH!!!!

Any maps yet on just what the fire burned? Always interested in watching it come back and seeing how hot it burnt to begin with.Sad thing is i always find dead box turtles in every fire I wander through:-(

The only one in this article I consider a serious threat would be the very bottom one. How often do you hear of deaths by Bobcats or Coyotes? Poison Ivy is a plant form hell but I have never heard of it killing anyone.Hogweed is an unknown to me.Has anyone on the forum encountered it in South...
