New Google Maps features http://maps.google.com/help/maps/userguide/index.html They have added a lot of features, some of which will be helpful for posting maps here. But publishing maps for general consumption will create a lot of new issues, like the ones we've been discussing in another...

I just noticed this for the first time today. You'll now find a Traffic button on the upper righthand corner of a Google Map page. It can be combined with any of the other options, for example, try this link...

Spent awhile at the Tuckahoe Wildlife Management area today, which is near my home. It's beautiful - lots of wide open space and birds, but the wind was fierce today: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=39.336156,-74.729605&ie=UTF8&z=12&t=h&om=0 There'a about a 7 mile long loop road that...

I hope everyone got out long enough to see the beautiful crescent moon tonight! As soon as I saw it I felt compelled to play around with my telephoto lenses! :) For more photos see my gallery here: http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=483

Went out for awhile today, but the wind was so harsh that my fingers became numb very quickly! This place offers some impressive wide open vistas: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=39.238311,-75.095512&ie=UTF8&z=12&t=h&om=1&iwloc=addr Standing here I felt like the last man on earth (and...

Went out for a little while to enjoy the first day we've had above freezing for awhile. It was beautiful at East Creek Pond in Belleplain http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=4988&fullsize=1 Also nice at the Heislerville WMA...

I just watched the Spielberg movie AI again, and with some of the recent talk here about global warming I remembered something which bothered me about the details the first time I saw that movie. The film is evidently set somewhere near Haddonfield, where Spielberg lived for awhile when he...

I had to snicker just a little when I read this article in the Central Record: http://zwire.townnews.biz/site/news.cfm?notn=1&ncdr=1&newsid=17700141&BRD=2244&PAG=461&dept_id=453084&rfi=6 Remember this thread? Looks like widening the road may have brought some unexpected consequences...

Was just looking around at various sites and found this one which is pretty cool. This link displays personal weather stations around the pines on a Google map. Click on any of the numbers to see local conditions and forecasts...

Last night was a perfect one for a moonlight photo session, there was a nice mist in the air and the fog was rolling in. Just the right conditions to capture the luminous quality of the sky! http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=4744&fullsize=1...

Was driving through Medford today and I noticed that a traffic light is going up at the intersection of Stokes and Tuckerton Roads. Now that has always been kind of a scary intersection, but to me that stoplight seems to signal yet another step in the suburbanization of the area...

Sorry, the dysfunctional Central Record website doesn't have the article (or any articles for that matter) online, but there's an article in the Sept 28 edition which says construction will begin this fall on the shopping center at Eayrestown Rd and Rt 70 in Medford. It says that all the...

I see the signs at this place everytime I drive down Rt 49 and it makes me wonder what's going on: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=39.372061,-74.97242&ie=UTF8&z=13&t=h&om=1&iwloc=A At the entrance it says "Atlantic (City) Electric Holly Orchard". Then there's an old entrance gate which...

I came across this on a pet supplies website and it made me laugh. Looks like a measuring spoon with a notch in it. http://entirelypets.com/tickedoff.html# And remember, "For adult and adult-supervised use; not at toy." :)

The moon was beautiful last night, and there was a mist in the air so I grabbed my camera around 11:00 PM and walked out into the woods to try and capture something of the mood. It's difficult to shoot only by moonlight, so these needed some help from Photoshop to bring out the details. The full...

In my travels through Cumberland County and other areas towards the "Western Shore" I've noticed that a lot of houses have big decorative stars on them. They look like they might be made of metal and range in size from maybe a foot to two feet high. I don't think I've ever noticed more than one...

Hey - has anyone else noticed this recently? When you zoom out to the 2 mile level and beyond, the satellite images look different now. The greens are darker and the brown/neutral colored areas appear as a rusty orange color, like this...
