    Pine ID

    Lebanon has several locations that were planted by the CCC during the 1930s. The couple I have seen are planted in the typical nursery fashion with organized rows. This stand of trees is along Glassworks Road.

    This is very cool

    They are cool, but the Biolite seems bulky. In my defense, I have always been a weight weenie and have a preference for the compact. The Powerpot is some what closer to my taste. A quick and reliable hand cranked charger combined with a lightweight stove, such as one of the MSR Whisperlites, may...

    Pinks are up....

    Very cool! The road was fixed rather quickly. The wood from the dam should have been used for fill.

    $9.7 million to preserve 5,000 acres of woodlands and wetlands

    Boyd , thank you for the information. I will take note of your tips when I visit the area. I have a older pickup that I use a woods vehicle, so parking for me is a spot open enough so that my truck can fit and I can open the doors. I am more concerned about my parking blocking access and staying...

    $9.7 million to preserve 5,000 acres of woodlands and wetlands

    Boyd, are there other parking spots that are visible for those of us who aren't familiar with area? I am using the term parking spots very loosely.:)

    Bass River Headwaters Area ... A PBX Hike

    A very clever idea to package the power source for the fence in cooler. Simple too.

    Slow to fight southern pine beetles

    Manu, the PDF controls don't appear in the lower right of your screen when the cursor is moved to there? I used the zoom control on the panel that appears.

    Slow to fight southern pine beetles

    Manu, is the location on this older map? I am curious to what information the DEP is using for control and if the earlier points have been eradicated or grown larger. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/forest/2003spbreportmap.pdf

    Atsion: A Journy Back in Time

    Ecampbell, thanks for posting the video. I enjoyed all of it, especially the pictures of the mill. In the video, it was mentioned that Atsion was a company town. I understand that there where many company towns, such as Atsion and Batsto, but are there any that have outlived their economic...

    Monmouth Battlefield

    A great set of pictures Ben! Very Nice! I didn't know that there was an orchard on the battle field grounds. I will be adding another slip to my bucket list.

    My first Orchid of the season

    The rarest of rare! In the past 150 years only a handful of plants have been recorded in a handful of locations. If any of the Pogonias exist they would be some where in the Batso corridor. The case of beer comes with an an article on the rediscovery of the orchid? Are either of the Purple...

    True Flicker

    I just happened upon this very early test film by Kodak produced in 1922 while I was looking for information on a Bronica ETR si. Google has a wonderful way of mixing search results and I was surprised to see such a mesmerizing piece of film listed in my search. The flicker and unusual silent...

    Reflections at Friendship

    Absolutely correct! There is never a bad day in the woods and these photographs are proof. The difference between the two photographer's sets is striking. The snow didn't last very long.

    Flying Home Through the Pine Barrens

    I always hear the unique roar of the twin radials before I see the polished aircraft. I completely forgot that there may be a name on the nose. I will have to pay closer attention to the nose art of the aircraft next time I see it.

    Flying Home Through the Pine Barrens

    Ken, thanks for sharing a different view! Your photograph captures the vastness and snaking waterways perfectly for the area you are flying over. Would you happen to know where the B-25 I see frequently over the Forked River Mountains is based? I have seen the bomber several times and was just...

    Coyle Airstrip

    Teegate, you found the Monolith from a Space Odyssey! The harsh environment in the Pines bleached it.:D

    Pantry bare for N.J.'s coastal raptors

    Some of the Harriers have moved farther inland. There are definitely more in the marshes around north west Burlington. I saw several juveniles and a grey ghost on a patrolling flight Friday afternoon in the area of Smithville. On the other hand, I haven't seen that many Short-eared Owls this...

    Nor’easter expected

    There is about five inches of snow in my neighborhood. Overnight it was quiet and I am secretly enjoying what snow fell because it won't be around long with the warming coming in next few days. It is nice out. I am excited that I can finally get to use my new snowshoes! We are going to the...

    Nor’easter expected

    I suppose some of the rings can be huge. We all have seen a large line of birds migrating in the fall, so that is some basis for the size potential. I don't know enough about shore birds to even guess at what species the ring could be. NOAA has some animated bursts and rings...
