    Gov makes 2nd Pinelands nomination

    I'll stay out of the political end of this because to tell the truth I don't know if I care for corzine yet or not though i can say i don't care for his predecessor.In any case let it be known that cranberries are known to be intolerant of water pollution and cranberry growers know this and...

    Tell me what you see

    This morning while downloading google earth tiles to make reaster maps out of for my triton gps I was calibrating the image to make the map out of it which entails picking points and enetering coords to align the image so when put into the gps it aligns with reality.In any case I noticed this...

    sounds good to me.are the westcoat coords stones or concretes or is it unknown at this point? also i remember a track you sent along which you believe a stone to be near the junction of mullica and sleepy creek.it's prime season to look for that one also and lets not forget the potential stone...

    Flood paddle

    Gabe, even without a good roll for me a skirt is always mandatory in winter because of paddle runoff which makes some particular areas very cold by the end of the trip without the skirt.besides a good percentage of my forbears were scottish with not a few highlanders so wearin a skirt kinda...

    Bob, those are slightly over the ankle rubber boots.my days of wearing sneakers in winter are long gone.matter of fact i never wear them.I'm either in boots or barefoot,no in between with me.rubber boots and hip waders do make the feet ache after a long walk but the keeps the feet dry.I also...
