I had a great adventure in the woods today! I may do this report to two parts because there is so much information to share. I was looking over the MSN bird's eye maps for something when I happened to come across what appeared to be an enormous ore pond . I have seen large iron ore extraction...

I saw a coyote crossing 206 near paradise lake tonight around 9:45pm.

Early this month my computer broke hard. Had modem problems as well. So I haven't been online in nearly a month now (i forgot what life was like before the internet) but I have a new computer now and I see I have a lot of catch up to do on reading some threads. Anyway, didn't want anyone to...

I live near the upper reaches of the Batsto river (north of Carranza). A couple weeks back I had a chance to get back in there. Access to the river in this area is very difficult. No roads or trails exist anymore that meet, or boarder it's banks. A stark contrast to the many access points...

Look at my Rhododendrons! (these photos were taken about a week and a half ago) Jeff

I got out for a ride on the motorcycle this morning and found myself about 1/2 between Warren Grove and Recovery Road when two coyote pups crossed in front of me. I turned off the bike and climbed a slight rise on the roadside. The two puppies were at a safe distance but obviously very...

Last Sunday I was filmed by Jarvis Films who are making a documentary on the pine barrens. They filmed me playing a song from my album, and I was interviewed. The documentary is still in the "shopping phase" but is near completion from what I understand. It was a nice experience and I was...

Took the motorcycle out on Friday. Beautiful day. I thought I'd share a few photos. much of the old roads were flooded from the recent rains Anyone for tea? Here is an old causeway that crossed the wading river many moons ago. The remains of the bridge are evident in the water...

I know of a very isolated spring deep in the woods. Recently my curiousity in this spring was peaked by looking at historical photos of it and realizing that since 1930, it has not seen any flucuation in size. It is unique in several ways: first, it is significantly larger than most...

A powerful indicator of the changing of seasons. You know, along with the weather.

There were large "stadium" lights in the pit across from coyle field last night. I think I recall Guy saying that they might reactivate the pit. This was some time ago that I recall Guy saying that. Could be that is becoming reality. Why they would be working at night I don't know Jeff

When I was growning up in Monmouth county I lived in a farming district. I used to catch HUGE bullfrogs all the time. And snails were all over. It occured to me that I rarely see snails and large bullfrogs here in the pines. Has anyone else noticed that? Jeff

Found this little guy next to my front door tonight. Jeff

Yesterday (Monday) I noticed a great deal of smoke coming from west of 206 in the Medford area (approx.) and tonight I noticed that Medford/Jackson road was closed off. Did anyone hear of a fire in that area? Jeff

I got out for a bit yesterday to investigate a bog on the Ore Spring branch. I vistited this spot a few weeks back at night in my bronco and had a bit of a mishap. My bronco slid off the side of a dike and got wedged against some pines. It pulled itself out but suffered some body damage. oh...

A few months back I posted some pics of some very secluded and remote bogs I located. Yesterday I got out for a bit to explore some other bogs in that same expansive system. It was late in the day and I was fighting daylight. This is an old very large bog that rivals the ones at Whitesbog...

Well the title kind of says it all. I came around a sharp turn on route 532 near my house and immeditely in the road was...what I thought was a recently road killed deer, I had no where to go because of a guard rail. I ran it over. I slowed and looked in my mirror and saw it still moving a...

Gabe (pineland paddler) and I got out for a few hours today to revisit a remote beaver pond. I posted about this pond in the past but I can't locate the link to that thread right now. There was some discussion as to whether this pond was completely natural (the work or beavers) or if there...

A red bellied woodpecker and black and white warbler have been visting my bird feeder daily. Very nice! Jeff

It is late Friday night. I was just in the back yard. Out of nowhere in the woods behind my house comes this freaky noise. Sounded strangly human, a mid frequency, agressive, scream, almost a growl. Next thing I know I hear a cat (probably my neighbors) screaming back as though being...
