    No-Passing Zone to Be Created on Stretch of Route 206 in Shamong

    I wonder if the writers are paid by the word. I think we are now well informed about the fire truck. "Officials also revealed that an Indian Mills Volunteer Fire Company fire truck was involved in a traffic collision on Route 206, but just north of Shamong, in neighboring Tabernacle Township...

    Bracken Fern is a pioneer after fires. So is Lyonia (Staggerbush).

    New Mid-Atlantic NAIP series

    Boyd, just of interest to me probably, but I'm looking at a little pond in Cape May County, and yet the aerials are the 1940 Atlantic County aerials. I suppose they just dip down into Cape May as an overflow of the initial airplane capture? PS: I apologize, I put this in the wrong thread. Feel...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I was in the town of Goshen this afternoon parked along the road right next to Goshen Creek. My phone vibrated and buzzed with an urgent message that a flash flood was likely. I scoffed at it, but it rained like hell, and I lit out of there when I noticed the road was looking more like a shallow...

    Pieces Of Hampton Park History

    But I can list thousands of private companies that polluted our land and our water. The Batsto is too sacred to leave it in private hands to do what they will on the site. Supposed they sold it to unscrupulous actors.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Wait a cotton-picking minute here. How did you account for the slope in the wheel barrow bottom? Also, was the wheel barrow on perfectly level ground? I don't think a wheel barrow is a reliable rain gage; or else they'd advertise it as such, a dual purpose if you will. :D

    Buck Run, A PBX Hike

    As I said, people in general have no idea how good for the back it is walking on uneven ground, stepping over deadfalls, and hopping between hummocks. It loosens everthing up, and also strengthens the muscles that support the frame.

    Fire in Greenwood Forest Ocean County Near Jones Road

    Yes, you are correct as to the turkey beard. The clumps are heat-affected sphagnum.

    Music for the day

    There is a video of them doing a full concert somewhere, maybe Youtube. They were one of those groups that played their songs in concert the way they recorded them for the album, without drifting into jams or innovations. Creedence Clearwater Revival did that too.

    Buck Run, A PBX Hike

    The fabulous Mr. Abrams, disguised as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with his approved safety glasses on. I'm glad to have met John. When he speaks it's usually profound and often funny. A great guy. I think his smile says it all.

    The very quick and energetic Dan. He will be giving Chris and Jeff a run for their money now.

    Buck Run, A PBX Hike

    Good company and a good day. It was tougher than I thought it would be, for sure. I think the briars were heavy due to the elevation of that area. Kind of low for some sections that were supposed to be somewhat upland in nature. Here below is where we crossed, but we had planned to go to 'First...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Yes, I do use that one for home. I love the dewpoint chart. It has caused me to cancel a day in the woods on occasion. PS: In that last post, I was speaking of Monday. Last Sunday it rained during our time for the trip (New Gretna forecast). I always change the location to where I'll be, not...

    Fire in Greenwood Forest Ocean County Near Jones Road

    It was a mixed bag. I was mostly driving, but got out quite a few times to climb a hill or go down a trail. I saw one right on the side of the road, and one in an upland scene, and a couple in lowland with highbush blueberry. The third photo below was an odd one (as was my response). This was...

    Fire in Greenwood Forest Ocean County Near Jones Road

    Here, the fire did not reach the creek in many spots. Like it was never there. But look at the second photo, it was only 20 feet away from the golden club in the first photo that the fire stopped. It was in too much of a hurry to try to burn wet sphagum.
