Did you hear/feel it? I was outside in the woods and there were multiple examples of this sometime between 3 to 5 PM. Thought it was very weird at the time, not like a sonic boom, it was an extended very low frequency rumbling that lasted a number of seconds each time. Really could not relate it...

TSA conducted a pat-down Friday at Newark Liberty International Airport after a body scan alarm was triggered "in the area of the man's groin," according to a statement from the Transportation Security Administration on Tuesday. "When asked if there was something hidden in his pants, the man, a...

The Mayor of Woodbine says he’s unsure of why Woodbine was chosen, but is happy to see the economic impact it is having on his town and the surrounding area. "We are excited about having the best in the industry here and we really look forward. We’ve been working with the production people and...

Just got this text message Obviously fake if you look closely - the sender was some guy at outlook.com and the website address is also bogus and the wording is weird. Here's some info from the (real) EZPass site. Makes me wonder though, are they just guessing I have EZPass, or were their...

(mod note: posts split from a thread about rain) This is a weird one. Small storm is being spawned around Salem and moving fast to the Southeast, the most intense part is currently at the border of Quinton and Alloway and it just seems to keeps going. Nothing else on the radar anywhare in the...

Have been wanting to do this for awhile, finally getting around to it. :) It's possible to create some fairly realistic scenes using aerial imagery in the terrain viewer, but it takes some understanding of how light reveals three-dimensional objects to get the best results. See the next post...

After about three months of starts and stops, the 1970's aerials are finally available! You should see them on the menu between the 1980's and 1930's aerials, here's a link to try. https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.750392/-74.584688/pines1970/0.00/0.00 If that link doesn't work, or if you have...

Note: This new thread includes posts that were split from the trouble report thread. To summarize: we no longer offer maps from the NJGIN servers, due to compatibility issues. However, many of their maps are now available directly from boydsmaps. These local versions cover the entire state of NJ...

I think it was @pinelandpaddler who requested this awhile ago but I was kind of cool on it (or was it somebody else? Sorry, can't find the thread). Anyway, was playing around with the terrain viewer recently, thinking "I wish I could zoom out farther!" :D Still some work to do, but it's...

After introducing my 2020 dark-themed topo, some people wanted a light topo since I deleted the old "Map of the Pines HD" which just had too many errors. I agreed and introduced one at the end of 2023. Now, a year later, it's interesting that the dark 2020 topo is still much more popular, based...

I guess some of you have already had snow this season? Nothing here yet, awhile ago we had a light dusting that melted quickly, so this might be our first snow of the season. Map shows me on the edge of the 2" zone. My snow thrower's gonna stay in storage, it's been 4 years (?) since I've had it...

Working my way through the 1970 aerials, this place stood out as being unusual You'll have to wait a little while before the 1970's aerials are online, but it shows clearly in 1980 https://boydsmaps.com/#16.00/39.979926/-74.467711/nhap80/0.00/0.00 By the 1990's, it looks like trees or...

This map joins the 1980's and 1990's regional aerials with full coverage of New Jersey plus portions of neighboring states. The original imagery was a mixture of color, monochrome and infrared but I've converted it all to 8-bit grayscale for this map. These come from a variety of individual...

I'm lost because Scott didn't make his usual post alerting us to the beginning of the six-day firearm season! :D Saw a bunch of trucks parked along the roads this morning and checked. Looks like it's this week - be careful out there! I'm wearing my orange hat and vest and staying on my own land...

A new map is now online featuring complete New Jersey 1980's aerials along with the tri-state area, including Philadelphia, New York City and Long Island. https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/40.548115/-75.210790/nhap80/0.00/0.00 These aerials were acquired by the USGS National High Altitude...

Found this while looking for more vintage aerials. I'm sure some of you are already familiar with it, but I hadn't seen this web page before. Lots of good stuff here, although permission is only granted for private viewing. https://geography.rutgers.edu/historical-maps-of-new-jersey

Note: I split this from another thread discussing the 1930's aerials since it's going to be a whole new project! Well, I went down a rabbit hole and apparently ended up in a big cavern! There really are a lot of vintage aerials at DVRPC. This is the coverage of the 1959 aerials, for example...

Looking at the logfile, we had just about the busiest 24 hours I've ever seen. That's great, the site is here for you to use! But looking closer, much of it appeared to come from one person. I don't snoop on users or watch their activity, I just look at summaries of how much data is transferred...
