    Wind Advisory

    Past here now in Medford. It was very intense for a little bit but it moved through faster than I expected it to. Thankfully no damage. Gotta get yourself a UPS. Even a small one will at least give you some time to save your work, if possible. Might not save long file uploads specifically but...

    Milestone in Haddonfield, corner of Haddon and Kkngs

    I was wondering about this as well, when we were discussing it a few weeks ago. I couldn't think of an original location that would make both of the directions and distances correct. What spot did you come up with?

    Capturing/archiving old videotapes

    We could probably derail the entire thread talking about video archival, it is a huge topic. I would recommend checking out VideoHelp, DigitalFAQ, and Doom9 forums for detailed guides and help, although I will caution that the amount of information is overwhelming and there are some highly...

    DPReview is shutting down

    Yes, I saw this news and it's highly disappointing. It's part of a long decline in quality, "real" sites that are information-dense and staffed with knowledgeable people who actually care about the topics they're writing about (such as this site!) It's much easier and cheaper to do short format...

    Verizon FIOS Outage

    No issues with FiOS today, but I'm a good ways from you. Must be a more localized problem. I have had very, very few issues with their service since it became available here in, gosh, maybe 2010 or so?

    Goshen in Camden or Burlington?

    County borders have changed many times. Camden County didn't exist until 1844. In 1759, the nearby border would have been between Burlington and Gloucester. The Atsionk became the Atsion (or "Little Egg Harbor"), which became the Mullica, no? If that was all already obvious, then apologies...

    New Garmin GPSMAP 66i

    Increasingly it seems like this is a category of devices that shouldn't really have to exist. The satellite radio and high quality GPS chipset should already be built into your phone, which is typically a fast, big-screen, large storage device you already have with you. New Qualcomm SoCs are...

    Iricks Causeway Road

    Is that true? The gate at 532 is definitely new, I don't remember seeing it before. It is not there on Street View from 2019 and earlier. And certainly the road has been used recently, there were tire marks in the sand. Was it "closed" in legal sense only, with no gates erected?

    Iricks Causeway Road

    Access continues to evaporate. Small bridges like this are a real weak point. As soon as they're damaged or otherwise condemned, there's no incentive to repair or rebuild them. Instead it's easier and cheaper to just close the road that crosses them, especially if people live nearby and don't...

    Acres of N.J. wetlands were illegally cleared during state project, conservation groups allege

    And one of the recommendations was "you should clear-cut, bulldoze, and obliterate 21 acres of mature forest?" Who is on this task force? They should be stopped from implementing whatever their next great idea may be. I haven't seen a timberdoodle (American Woodcock) in a long time, although...

    Iricks Causeway Road

    I was checking out the new Whispering Pines trails in Tabernacle yesterday. It's nice back there, there are some large cedars. On the way out I took a shortcut and walked Iricks Causeway back to the parking lot. The road had irregular chunks of crushed asphalt in it, which was not great to walk...

    Prescribed Burning Today - Wharton, other sites

    Double posting but I'll just also mention: one of the best features of their viewer is the comparison tool, which allows you to put imagery from two different dates side by side and then drag a slider back and forth between them to directly show the differences. This is very useful for viewing...

    Where is this?

    That one is easy, Ben even has the coords on a front page post (spoilers!)

    Prescribed Burning Today - Wharton, other sites

    You would need to request an account first and have it approved. I was able to get a free Education and Research account with university affiliation. It provides access to their 3m imagery, with a monthly download limit, but it's some huge amount of coverage I would never get close to hitting...

    Prescribed Burning Today - Wharton, other sites

    Here is Penn State Forest in progress just north of Oswego Lake. About 10AM yesterday. And another area in Greenwood, about the same time. Imagery copyright Planet Labs Inc.

    Where is this?

    Well, I know precisely where your clue photo is; I was just there. I don't know where the drain is, though.

    Controlled burn in Wharton State Forest

    You had it right on the money. From this morning: Imagery copyright Planet Labs Inc.

    Travel along the old stage route from philly to egg harbor?

    This one? It's on the northeast side of the intersection of Kings Highway and Haddon Avenue, in front of the Happy Hippo toy store. It's from 1773 and gives the distances to Camden and Gloucester. I love the pointing hands at the top.

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    I don't think there is any such thing as a complete map of Wharton done specifically in the year 1997 (see this thread) but there are some true 1997 quads (Atsion, Jenkins, Oswego Lake, Green Bank) which you can view here by setting the slider to 1997-1998. If you expand the date range a bit you...

    Hampton Gate Hotel

    Did you ever find out anything further about the piece of terracotta you found in your previous post?
