I made a few new ones today and will try and place all of mine in this one thread. Atsion. Notice they moved the poles away from the lake. The two canoe rentals on the right in the 1979 photo were Adams and Pic-A-Lilly in that order. Charles Wills

We found these two today at a location where we have never found timbers before. I almost stepped on one of them. If not for me seeing the other one I would have. I suspect they are female and should give birth soon. I am going to set up my game camera and see what I can catch.

We were at 539 and 72 today and there was a cop car with flashing lights getting information from a driver after a traffic stop. But it sure did not look like a cop to me. We were really concerned for the driver. Look what he was wearing and the car he had. It had flashing lights but really not...

All, It appears that there will be a new area code soon. It will be 640. As far as I can see if you are in a 609 or 640 area code ..... on or after August 18 if you dial out of either of those codes you will need to add a 1 to the number. For example I have a 609 code. I will need to go through...

All, A nice day to explore today. We first visited the Jr. Mechanic Cemetery and between the two of us we walked the complete site. Did not find what we wanted but I did see this one. They both lived at Friendship for a while when he was working for bog owners or Evans & Wills. Their daughter...

We have discussed this place many years ago. It is more than likely the house far back along the woods across from the Indian Mills Gun Club on Atsion Road. He is staying in New Jersey’s Wharton State Forest area, on a 150-acre farm estate gifted to him by a Chinese/Taiwanese couple...

We put 11,500 steps on Jessica's Fit Bit today walking to Quarter Mile and other places. There are yellow orchids growing at Quarter Mile that I found a few years back and we went there to check on them. With the vegetation growing in I suspect the plants are not doing as well, and so far this...

All, This morning we walked half of Cherry Hill Road between 206 and the Mullica looking for various things along the way.. Now that the heat of the summer has dried up much of it the walking is quite easy. We entered the road from the SE 3/4 of a mile below Locks Bridge. Along the route we...

We spent the morning exploring around Wharton. The puddles in many of the roads are now dry making access to places much easier. Even then we only ran into one vehicle in our travels today. A man and woman with their two kids in a Jeep with the top off. We smelled death until Jessica found a...

I will try and come up with little bits of pine barren history and add them to this page as I have time. Iona Gun Club (I Own A Gun Club) In 1947 the Iona Gun Club was looking to find ways to pay for construction of a hunting cabin in the Chatsworth area and decided one way was to have a...

Jessica and I ran into this pine snake today. Not being an expert on pine snakes it appears to me it just ate or has eggs. We followed it's previous path and found not far away a hole about 6 inches deep that it had spent some time at. When we looked into the hole there was a live toad resting...

First, we visited a site today for the first time that appears to be a favorite of snakes or turtles. I am not a shell expert so maybe someone can give their opinion. There are many locations in this one area that the shells were at. We will certainly check this site next year much earlier to...

All, Drove around today looking for various things, and along the way here is what we found. I am quite certain this is a very good start for a Turks Cap Lilly. There are even two others right near it but slightly smaller. If you are a hiker of the Batona Trail and are doing so in the middle or...

We spent the morning searching for rattlesnakes and put about 10,000 steps on Jessica's Fitbit. Not one sighting. We also checked on some of the morning glory and it is starting to look promising. I believe we are on the cusp of having pine flies stalking us. Had a few bother me today. This bug...

All, Check this strange video out. A man posted a video at Atsion Lake even though he calls it Attison Lake and he has slipped in a few PG rated frames. So if you don't want to see that don't click on the link. Go to 1:26 seconds and when it shows up pause the video and also watch it. I am...

All, I have reason to believe that a fake Bass River State Forest has been showing up on topo maps from as far back as 1942. I will explain. I was looking over the Bass River area using topo maps, and decided to concentrate on this particular section of state forest near Harrisville and the...

This article says the middle of nowhere in NJ is near Fortescue. You agree? https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/smart-living/the-middle-of-nowhere-in-every-state/ss-AAvJiMc?li=BBnb7Kz#image=31 Basically here...
