    Here comes the hot weather

    The little woman purchased custom canvas awnings for the house not to long ago, and combine with the heavier curtains (to go with the awnings of course), are helping cool this tinder box much more than I thought. It is a ninety nine outside but only seventy eight inside with the windows open. It...

    Forked River Mountain Cleanup Totals 2012

    Unfortunately, that is the truth. Next time you are there, take a look and count the number of pines cut down in the area. It is a mess!

    Sand operation could yield fracking riches

    Boyd, exactly. A short term boost in production would hopefully benefit the economy. How long could the extra mining possibly last, until the process of fracking is banned entirely?

    Coyotes today

    It all depends on where you are hiking. It is a must have when your out in the bogs alone. One wrong step in a hole could put you in serious danger. I use the one I have every time I am out to test how deep things are and to help me hop mound to mound. The version I use weighs nothing and...

    Coyotes today

    All you need to arm yourself with is a quality walking stick from Black Diamond or any other brand. They are one of the greatest tools anyone could possibly have in hand while hiking the Pines. It can be utilized for everything - checking the depth of a bog your walking through, pushing away...

    Emson or Switlik Bogs

    Thanks for the tip about the book, Ben. I just received it today. Even though the book contains very little about Colliers Mills, it is a good addition for my small, but growing library.The subject matter is oriented towards the town of New Egypt. Anyhow, I love the small details in the...
