It is so rare to walk in the green woods and find a green snake when the vegetation is intense, and it is even rarer to find two. However, today we did just that. The first one must have been the mom and we did not know at the time there was another one right on the same branch. Jessica picked...

This news video pretty much could be talking about the Pine Barrens. With the youth not being interested in them as they should be, the pines will eventually become irrelevant. http://video.msnbc.msn.com/nightly-news/47578862/#47578862

All, Yesterday, I was given a wooden cranberry crate from what I have been told is Howardsville, and along with the crate I was also given hundred's of documents relating to various families, along with surveys from the Manahauken and Stafford Township area. Tonight, I was looking through them...

All, I headed out with Rob from work tonight to photograph tree frogs, and while out there we also wanted to see if Arethusa was located in the area of the Tulpehocken we were visiting. With Jessica under the weather and not able to attend, we arrived at Friendship Bogs just a little after 7 at...

All, It has been a struggle but I finally found this contraption which I was given a tip to in the past few week. Does anyone know exactly what it is used for. I am thinking rainwater or bugs but not really sure. In one of the bags there are plastic vials that have lids on them, and some of the...

All, I just learned that on May 1 Microsoft is shutting down the maps that are used by USAPhotoMaps. That measn the 1995 aerial will no longer be available for us to use with this program. So, if you use this program start right now downloading all of the area's and levels you want in the...

All, Today was a day of exploring the Chamberlain and here a few photo's you may find interesting. This monument was placed along the Chamberlain in 1959 and finding it helps me better understand the property in that area. Clues to help. Somewhat unsafe but I just had to look...

All, Over the years many of us have taken an interest in Aserdaten just as Beck did years ago. Unfortunately, for Beck he relied mostly on others to help him with his quest. Today, we have it much easier, but the question still remains....where is the Aserdaten Tract? Well, I believe I can...

Not quite PB related but the photo made me think of them. Still a good read. http://openchannel.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/26/11402635-a-crime-by-the-highway-poisoning-trees-to-make-billboards-easier-to-see

They now have historic topo's. Guy

All, I have been spending quite a bit of time looking over the 1940 census records finding all kinds of information on various individuals connected with the history of the Pine Barrens. A list of 'just a few' of the individuals I found. David Kell who was the caretaker of the...

All, Yesterday, when I was passing the Bordentown Gun Club at the curve on 532, I noticed a car parked right on the curve and a group of individuals in the woods doing something. So early this morning on my way to meet up with Bob, I stopped there to see what they were doing. I am assuming...

All, Here is another Then and Now photo at a link below. The original photo on the right was taken around 1978 and the one on the left was taken yesterday. You can really see how the trees have filled in and how much work has been done on various roads around the pines. The roads of years ago...

All, I have always been reluctant to discuss Black's stone but it is obvious that many people know about it now. Over the years many individuals felt there was another stone just like the stone Beck mentions in his "Adventure in Aserdaten" chapter and I have always doubted it. Usually, there...

If you have not been down Lovers Lane in Green Bank lately you should pass by there soon. They are harvesting the trees the CCC planted many years ago. The trees were planted for just that purpose and are finally getting used for what they were intended for. I tired to take a photo of them this...

I was at Apple Pie Hill for almost two hours tonight and we had a solid presence by the Park Police. Driving around, parking along the road and watching things, and staying until we left at dusk. Guy

All, Back on February 4 all of the members of PBX received this email from Bob about our next trip. Make peace with yer maker boys, we’re going to Make Peace! We’re gonna parley and grovel, beg and shovel, and use the best diplomacy we know--at the big wildlife management area known as...

Yesterday Al and I had to cross a very tough and remote section of woods to look for a stone. On the way there we used our GPS unit but holding them up and looking at them while pushing through the woods was somewhat cumbersome. We eventually made it there but it seemed like forever, and not...
