    Friendship Bogs

    Thanks! I would have been out in the middle but the ice was not thick enough to walk on but too thick to safely kick holes through to walk on the bottom.Swamp walking is quite dangerous in these conditions.If the ice is very thin you can stomp through and firmly plant each step or if nice and...

    Pine ID

    I like a cedar fire myself.back in my clandestine camping days I would find a little island in a cedar swamp and build my fire out of cedar ,sometimes just for the smell.Works wonders in getting rid of bugs also.

    Pine ID

    I have never tried but I wonder if you held a match to em like orange peels when you squeeze em if they would spit flames? Probably why barrens fires are so intense?Have you ever lit a green scrub oak leaf with a match? They fizzle and spit from the waxy coating. Another smell I love is shaved...

    Pine ID

    the white pine looks feathery with darker needles then pitch and lighter thinner needles always in bundles of five as opposed to bundles of three twisted needles for pitch.Also pitch pine needles when crushed smell like tangerine peels where white pine smells more like what you would expect from...

    Monmouth Battlefield

    Read a book about the revolution in NJ a few months ago and it had a chapter on the Battle of Monmouth and I have made a mental note to get up there.Thanks for the pics.It seemed to be a spread out affair with several battle lines drawn on the map but most of the most important spots do seem to...

    Flying Home Through the Pine Barrens

    The airport does not irritate me in the least.The Motorsports park on the other hand I would like to see blasted into oblivion.If I wanted to live next to Indianapolis I'd of moved there.This state looks less attractive to me every year,not that the rest of the country is much better.I can't...

    First float of the year

    I don't think there is a place in the upper half of that lake you could fall out of your boat and not be able to stand up:-)Down near the dam is another story though:_)

    Coyle Airstrip

    Normally I'd say go for it but with the technology today even if no one is there I'm sure there are cameras,there is RADAR so someone would know your flying over the place really low and then when you blipped out they would assume you landed.They would be waiting for you when you landed.It's...

    2 turtle hunters pulled from icy northern NJ river

    I take it an underwater fyke drowns them? So they would have to check their traps daily to avoid spoilage.Don't exactly know what a fyke is .Just what the fyke is it anyway?

    2 turtle hunters pulled from icy northern NJ river

    The tactic I described is a method of obtaining turtle meat in a survival situation.I don't know if it is legal to hunt snapping turtles that way or not.I believe bu am not sure that snappers are the only turtle legal to hunt in NJ with a permit but I think you have to use floating traps and...

    2 turtle hunters pulled from icy northern NJ river

    I have heard of that before Scott and know that turtles can be hunted this way in winter when there is no ice but my question is how do you poke the river bottom through ice? Turtles when they hibernate leave a barely visible raised ring in the bottom of the river or lake bed that can be seen...
