    $9.7 million to preserve 5,000 acres of woodlands and wetlands

    It took about fifteen years for 55 to kill those snakes off.By the end of the 80's reports of rattlers at the bluffs dwindled and stopped altogether.

    Father And Two Sons Die From Hypothermia While Hiking

    I came close to becoming a victim of hypothermia once.I had my ex wife drop me off at Bennetts Mill back in the 80's,I was in my early 20's and she needed the car and I was exploring the area.It was November and close to 70 degrees.I just had regular camo fatigues on and a BDU top.A couple hours...

    Father And Two Sons Die From Hypothermia While Hiking

    Only one place better to die in then the Smokies and that be the Barrens.While I doubt dieing is pleasant couldn't think of a better last scene to witness then the Tuple flowing by at the waterfall at the lower medder.

    yes they use to find rattlers every summer right up into the 80's in the bluffs of Union Lake and they came south from the dens up by the Vineland sewer plant.When they put 55 through there in the early 70's rattlers and pines started becoming DOR at that very spot crossing to the Maurice swamp...

    $9.7 million to preserve 5,000 acres of woodlands and wetlands

    I like how they try to make it look like they are giving it to the public out of the goodness of their hearts.They are selling it to the public for 9.7 million dollars,that is why the public is getting it.Ever since I could remember there has been a big fence around half of it and posted sings...

    $9.7 million to preserve 5,000 acres of woodlands and wetlands

    We need to get Scott to confront his fear of snakes.We'll take this in stages.We'll start with Ringnecks and worm snakes and gradually progress up to the point where He is wrangling rattlers.In the beginning stages we can allow him use of his courage fortifying home brew but eventually he must...

    About a half hour drive for me but it's on Boyd's doorstep.I'd love to see a map of the property.I've probably been on some of it.Lot of woods out that way are owned by hunting clubs and in summer no one is there.Used to live in Belleplain and I was a lot closer to that area back then.When I...

    okay they say this is going to protect the headwaters of Gibson Creek,Stephens creek and Mill creek.The only Mill Creek I see on the topo is Warners Mill creek,been in those woods a few times myself,an old graveyard little known about in there.Now this would place the purchase on the west side...

    $9.7 million to preserve 5,000 acres of woodlands and wetlands

    I really like that when they basically give away endangered species locations over the internet and newspapers.Yes Boyd it looks like that area is about to open up.Contrary to popular opinion I would rather be on public land,much less stress that way and I can't run like I use to so am more apt...

    Breached dike

    That looks like Matts Landing road.First I've heard about it.Thats their main road in.There used to be three but one is closed off now and very bad,they should still have the southern dirt road to Heislerville and the double back route to the main road unless all of them washed out.
