Woodjin. I think that may be an eastern mud turtle and not a stinkpot (musk turtle) I may be wrong since I can't see the plastron in the photo but I don't see a yellow facial stripe like stinkpots have.the two are very similar except that the mud turtles plastron is double hinged whereas the...

Guy has just given you the location of spring hill plains.the smallest and most isolated area of plains and the wildest in my opinion.The shortest trees and the largest area of plains are between 539 and the warren grove bombing range.Most of this area is WMA and public land.drive south on 539...

I've read much on the mound builders and a quick google search under mound builders giants will return many results of very large skeletons being unearthed in the mounds in the 1800's early 1900's.the smithsonian apparently lost or destroyed many remains from these mounds from back then.makes...

I know where theirs white clay in the banks of tulpehocken creek and white clay along the great egg harbor river below weymouth and above weymouth.Theirs red clay along the tributaries of the maurice river down here along with grey and green clay along the maurice itself.Let me know what color...

I was attempting to follow a section of the old central jersey rr tracks today between carranza road and pine crest.most of this section has been blocked by thousands of trees for miles that have been purposely cut down and dropped across the tracks.this appears to have been done at least a...

I think it's a mental block on my part Bob.I can close my eyes and imagine where any letter is on the keyboard.I think knowing where their at isn't the problem.it's getting all 10 finger engaged is the problem.My middle fingers want all the action.They don't get enough during road rage incidents...

Yes some snakes do strike without rattling.They can also give a dry bite without venom.this is at their control.They almost never inject as much venom in a defnsive bite as a bite to secure prey.They can control the amount also.And yes a babies venom is as potent as an adults the quanity is just...

Yes the only kind of rattler in nj is the timber rattler (Crotalus horridus)and also the only venemous snake in south jersey.We also have the northern copperhead in north jersey (Akistrodon contotrix). This is a awesome find that Guy has here.An obvious den is nearby.I've only encountered...

I'm down padddler.How would we do this?Points off for misspellings and any errors?I just got a new computer with wireless mouse and keyboard and the keyboard has all these extra buttons for controlling the tv and dvd players so everything is super crowded so i often hit two buttons at a...

isn't the topography of the barrens all created by wind and water with rising and falling sea levels after the ice age?the sand it'self was deposited by the sea and wind whipped it into the gently rolling terrain we see today.the layers under the sand I believe are runoff from melting glaciers...

Basically the whole barrens is a dune,yes but when these dunes are in the middle of a present day swamp(lagoon):-) I've been in the habit of calling them islands.maybe i should call them sand bars.Dunes and sand bars while geologically true no longer seem descriptive.At least they don't conjure...

Ben here is the link to the trenches i was talking about.i tried putting in waypoints but it would only except a track so i encircled the islands which appear as white areas where sand is exposed.I want a better term then islands but have none.trenches appear on all islands encircled.the aerial...

I have arthritis in one foot and am no longer in the best of shape so i feel for you.to get to that stone location you could have just came in from that side of the swamp which is an easy walk off the sand road.I guess you just wanted to get a cross section of that end huh? Al

how was the swamp down at the south end?a lot of cedar strip blowdowns like up north?one area i crossed was nice semi open swamp but most of it was the most dangerous stretch of gorund i ever crossed.been in worse briars,the swamp had none but just for leg breaking potential nothing beats the...

you know after looking at the aerial again I've had to of passed within 50 yards of that stone on several occasions.last time i was in those strip meadows was january.they were mostly dry except over by the pond along the swamp border.kept crashing through the ice there.that i day i followed the...

after seeing that track I give a swamp bow to the swamp masters.i crossed and recrossed the swamp at the north end and it took it out of me and my tack was a lot shorter.Shame you couldn't find the stone,maybe next fire will uncover it:-) Al
