    Wharton Forest fire 4/6/13

    I was along the Tulp behind Friendship bogs this morning/afternoon and there was no smoke or ashes falling. I headed home via Carranza. I saw a helicopter and crew at the first gun club on your left as you head out of Wharton on Carranza. There didn't seem to be any urgency in their movements...

    Hit and Run

    Ben, don't think for a moment that you are the only person that this has been involved in a hit and run. I would contact the local PD and explain what happened in the parking lot. Also explain to them what you have been through in the last few months from the storm and that the accident didn't...

    Perhaps, she is dressed for one of the sacraments. Confirmation?

    Trout season opens Saturday

    Sounds like a great time! Good luck. A couple of my friends and myself had planned a fly fishing trip to the Dolores. We have talked about a few times but have never been able to organize enough to make it happen. Just think how much fun it would be riding in on horses and camping for ten days...

    Sussex and Warren by any chance? Paulinskill and Blair Creek are great for Brooks and Brownies.

    The plains

    I am speaking of here - http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.762572849879135&lng=-74.40608739852905&z=17&type=h&gpx=undefined A section of land along Beaver Dam Road is private. I remember seeing posted signs but don't recall the name of the club.

    Mining In Jackson

    Also, it may not be what is in the sand pit but what was there before the sand pit came into existence. Pine snakes and Southern Twayblade are two very beautiful and special species. I would rather look at either of them instead of a sand pit, but industry has always been part of the region.

    The plains

    Thanks JD! I am not to concerned about getting stuck. I have been parking by the tower and hiking a long loop along the surrounding waterways. If you ever get the chance to check the cedar swamp by your marker on the map (up and to the left). It was logged at one time and is a beautiful area to...

    The plains

    The FAA area is nice to spend an day wandering around. I particularly like pushing through the cedars along side of the Oswego. The entire area is littered with artifacts from the towers that must have stood through out the area. I think the massive sections of pole that can be found are pieces...

    Capewell Glass Negative Collection

    Teegate, you may be right. I thought the hill looked steeper than it should as a result of being able to see farther down the road and the angle of the photograph - an optical illusion. The Capewell photo could also be Tuckerton Road, photographed from behind the memorial. The topo map shows a...

    I found a few more Pine Barrens photos c.1970 or so

    Pan, it wasn't a convertible. My car was no different than a hardtop bug, except the roof had a piece of canvas that slide back and opened up the entire top of the car. I remember driving home down 537 in the hot summer nights and enjoying the sweet air cascading into the car. Good times!

    Insect nest?

    Very cool! Can you hold it up to a bright light to see if there is any movement? If not, look along the cocoon and see if there is a small hole. If so, a parasitic wasp may have visited the pupa. http://www.abundantnature.com/2012/06/inside-cecropia-moth-cocoon.html

    I found a few more Pine Barrens photos c.1970 or so

    Great series of photos Pan and thanks for sharing them! I have always liked Beetles. I bought a '63 ragtop my junior year in high school and drove that car every chance I could when I got my license the following year (1990). I loved the sliding canvas top, but hated the lack of heat. It had a...

    Insect nest?

    Haha! Its just a fancy way of saying cut it off and keep it facing the same way.

    Insect nest?

    Sara, you can still find out. Run the tip of your pruning knife along the cocoon's connection and ease it off of the liner. The only detail you have to keep in mind is to maintain its orientation because the emergence valve is positioned in response to gravity and is a function of inclination of...

    Capewell Glass Negative Collection

    I like that section of Carranza being sand! The elevation change looks a little steeper than it is now, for some reason. The view is towards Tabernacle.

    New Osprey Cam

    One more indicator that it will be warmer soon! As of right now, the weather conditions look to be the same as here, a snowy mix with wind, and I am sure the Ospreys are just as confused as everything else is with this unusual spring weather. What's up with the time and date on the camera? Both...
