All, Bob, Jessica, and I were out and about today looking for Swamp Pink thinking we were slightly early. Fortunately, there were a few showing their pretty little flowers, so we took the time to take some photo’s. Swamp Pink Supersize. Check out the pollen and...

Bob and All, What plant is this? I found it in the pines last May, but it may not be a pine barren plant. Guy

The island is home to a pair of American bald eagles as well as several great blue herons and state-endangered black-crowned night herons, New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine said in a news release Wednesday. http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/23/venezuela.island/index.html Guy

All, With a few places in mind to visit today, we first headed to the Rockwood area to plant the trees Jessica acquired at the “Lines on the Pines” book signing. We also were going to trim a few blueberry bushes there to see if the plants we cut will produce this year. Along the way we...

All, Jessica found out that she can download full quality topo’s and install them on her iPod Touch or even an iPhone. And she can even add a waypoint to the map and it will display the GPS coordinate of any location. You can download the program from the App store...

Long, but interesting. http://www.fark.com/cgi/vidplayer.pl?IDLink=4316755 Guy

All, Two of my recent visits. This one has the initials JH which may stand for Joseph Higgens or Higgins. I will have to do some research to find out more about this. The stone above is quite large; however, this one towers above it. I would have to assume it has been worn down...

Has anyone noticed the signs on Jenkins Road which is the road past Oswego Lake that warns drivers to keep off the vegetation? They are home made signs. I did not see anything along that section that would warrant them, even though a few years ago I did find a pink Lady Slipper in that area. Guy

You can see Friendship in the background. Guy

All, These were found close by where the Nature Conservancy house was located (Oswego River Preserve). Does anyone know what they are? Some appear to be live since they are intact, and they were covered over with pine needles making it seem to me they have been there quite some time...

All, If you have not viewed the vehicle that bobpbx drives in the woods, you have not set your eyes on a true Pine Barrens exploring machine. He thinks that paint is overrated! So while out with him in the recent past looking for some ruins in the pine plains, I thought that I would do my...

All, The better half brought up the subject of heading to the pines today, and I am not one to pass that up. So we did just that, and here are a few photo’s of that short adventure. After visiting a few places, we were heading past the logging area on Chatsworth Road near Bear Swamp Hill...

All, Here is a quick attempt to put all of the sawmills I know of in one post. I have more to add in the coming days and will not post the coordinates if I know it is private property, or have concerns it is private property. (Update 2025: Many more have been found but not listed below.) Guy...

All, Before our hike on Thursday, Rob from work and I quickly visited the Otter Branch in Runnemede to check out the location before it is destroyed by construction. Rob mentioned that about 30 years ago there was a home located in the woods along the branch, but soon after that it went up...

All, Around a month ago I was looking over aerial photo’s along Route 539 and thought that the area looked interesting enough to plan a PBX hike. So I threw together a line of waypoints and sent them off to Bob for approval. After a few minor changes Bob sent sent this edited invitation out...

All, The weather seemed right for a Thursday exploration, so Rob from work and I took off and headed out before sunrise to do just that. We first visited a location in Runnemede which I will be writing about later on the weekend when I return. From there we headed to Stevenson Road (Red Road)...
