    Train Derails in S. Jersey (Paulsboro)

    Vinyl chloride is a nasty chemical, just like xylene, that we use or in contact with every day. VC is part of that familiar new car scent. http://www.epa.gov/ttnatw01/hlthef/vinylchl.html

    Duck and Cover !

    Several of my friends did their stewardship for the NJ Audubon Society and will heading up to north this week to hunt on their land in and along Pochuck (?) mountain. I am curious to see how they make out with the hunt. It is interesting that the Society will let you hunt if you volunteer time...

    The "New Freedom Line."

    Oji, I quickly glanced over the report and missed the tail end of page seven, mentioning the Woodland and Archaic periods along the Mullica, the North Branch of the Forked River, and the Gates Branch. For some reason, even though it isn't true, I never think of indigenous people being part of...

    Sunday Stone Searching Seriously Started

    Teegate, it gives you a small charge, walking up and seeing that huge shell of a car hidden in the brush. I am glad you got to see it in person. It was nice of the gun club members to speak to you about the history of the club and to reveal details of the old car. I want to return after it...

    The "New Freedom Line."

    Bobpbx, this is a terrific link. There is very specific information for each segment of the line, some of it may be too revealing. Surprisingly, the researchers acknowledged that the lines and towers would obstruct many scenic corridors. What is considered to be a prehistoric resource in the...

    Tuesday with Alfie

    Gentlemen, I see your two Labs are drawn to sticks just as much as they are drawn to water. Who would have imagined anything different? Whipp, this set of pictures has a sense of calmness captured in them. It may be because of the glassy water in the images.

    The "New Freedom Line."

    Teegate, great detective work! I found this to be both alarming and interesting and you are absolutely correct in saying if these transmission lines had come to be, that the area would definitely have a different appearance. Your findings also explained what I was seeing in the area around...

    Capewell Glass Negative Collection

    I wonder what is growing in the box sitting on the barrel?

    Sensitive land in Medford and Shamong

    If they did that I would be right next to you getting handcuffed and laughing about how much fun we had trying to block the construction equipment before they even made it across 539.;)

    Sensitive land in Medford and Shamong

    Bob, that was the sentence I was referring too. It was just a guess on my part yesterday, for discussion, as I honestly don't know. I couldn't find anything specific on the Pinelands Commission website on the building of new power lines other than articles related to planing and solar power. -...

    More Nature 2012

    Impressive is the perfect adjective for that juvenile. Spectacular would be appropriate too. Very Nice!

    Sensitive land in Medford and Shamong

    I saw that wording too, but I think it is just a reference to a pilot program in 2004. The same sentence is at the bottom of page two. http://www.state.nj.us/pinelands/cmp/amend/0522finalROWruleproposalforOAL.pdf

    Blue Acres program

    Why would a matter like this even make it into the court room?!? The couple and their lawyer should use lithium to treat their mania. If the borough of Harvey Cedars has to actually pay the amount, every business and service should unite and black list this couple, making life impossible for...

    Blue Acres program

    Boyd, you and I know, individual responsibility isn't the current trend. How could we expect a good citizen to bare the financial risk?:D I good start would be to eliminate high risk properties that have had repetitive damage and to have insurance premiums that cover the true costs. The...

    Blue Acres program

    This is also known as Regulatory Takings, the functional equivalent of Eminent Domain. If there were stricter zoning laws (higher regulatory standards) in flood prone areas, this wouldn't be a tax payer problem. It is a simple concept - don't build in a flood zone.

    Climbing Trees Does NOT Keep You Safe From Black Bears

    Great video! As many times as I have seen videos like this and the few times I have seen black bears in Sussex county, the speed and power of these animals is something not to under estimate. The bear in the video climbed that tree lightning fast! I have seen them climb very steep, bouldered...

    Warren Grove

    Doug, have you ever tried night photography? Warren Grove is a great place to get some terrific shots in the dark. The low canopy and open plains are terrific, as you already know. Btw - Your picture titled pineyroad2 is an outstanding image. I like the slow meander.

    Thankful for....

    Hear, Hear! Very well said Terry, very well said! I hope all is well with everyone and that today will be spent with friends and family enjoying the moment! I am keeping a watchful eye on the smoker on the patio. Brisket and ribs are on their last hours, with quail being grilled next. Post...

    The Death of Twinkies?

    The workers in Pennsylvania now get a maximum payment of $539.00 a week from unemployment, with 15% withheld for taxes. After a maximum of 63 weeks that will run out. In that length of time, an unemployed worker could net close to $29k, not a bad take for sitting on one's hind quarters. Of...

    Joey gets stuck at High Crossing

    For sale - 2003 Saturn L100, maroon with "sand" interior, well maintained and recently professionally detailed. One of a kind. This car is clean as a whistle and never abused or offroaded. Pine scented too. I wonder what was going through Joey's head when he saw that the water was cascading...
