Apparently a tree in my yard had some rot in it, and the big storm passing through today took a branch down. Unfortuantly, it also took down the electric line, cable line and the old telephone line to my house. Fortuantly, the cable and electric still work. Comcast was out in no time and fixed...

Jessica and I headed to the Quarter Mile area early this morning and spent a few hours exploring. On the tracks Jessica spotted this ribbon snake. Very curious until Jessica tried to pick it up, then not so much. The white marking in front of the eye distinguishes it. Quarter Mill is...

All, This morning I went looking for property corners along Wharton's property and a semi large private tract. I had to be careful to not cross onto the private property as I had been warned they may be out and about at times looking for trespassers. They had issues with stealth camping in the...

All, We again spent the morning walking the Bulltown Bog property lines looking for the many multiple property stones and corners. On the way to where we parked we found in short order three of the blue paw prints we have discussed here before. I am glad they talked with this person and...

Was in a burn area today and walked right past this rough green snake. Two minutes later we came back and I stopped for a second and it was right next to me. We always find them hanging out in the branches looking for food. This was not happy. Was peeing on Jessica.

I have posted before about the Mick sawmill just off of Route 70 (Route 40 back then) near Ft. Dix. Today, we went looking for his grave to add to my photo collection. The below map shows his property on this 1942 survey, and two years later he would pass away.

All, In August of 1934 Beck had spent over a year trying to get to the peaks of the Forked River Mountains after many failed attempts were thwarted by spungs, broken bridges etc. He originally tried to access them off of Lacey road by crossing the old Tuckerton Railroad but the broken bridge...

All, We decided today to visit cemeteries and search out a few gravestones I have been wanting to photograph. Our first stop would be Greenmount in Hammonton. To get there we decided to take the AC Expressway and during our ride one car passed us and nothing was in front of us the complete...
