Now wonder the Rattlesnake root is so difficult to locate, the plant blends in perfect with its surroundings. I was surprised to see how dry that general area is between Rt 206 and the river. There is very little water on the surface. Even the deeper holes where damp sand/muck and couldn't even...

What ever happened to trail maintenance? My friends and I use to always carry a shovel and rake in our trucks when we were mountain biking every weekend to repair and do up-keep on the trails we were riding. Peoples attitudes change quickly when you grab them off their ride and strongly urge...

A bit off topic, but the closing of the mom and pop stores is just a cycle. The owners will get older and eventually the store will close, but again in due time, another store will open once more in the same location. Chambersburg, where I live, had a family run small grocery store almost on...

The rare sound of falling water in the Pines is great to hear! Thanks for posting the video.

I was surfing off of Nelson Avenue in Beach Haven, a few years ago, when a school of Blues started breaking the surface (minus the sharks) around the group I was with just behind the breakers. Scared the hell out of me when something hit the bottom of my board hard! I made it to the shore in...

A question for the fellow beer advocates on the forum - Have you ever come across wheat or barley wine? I have read about several but I haven't seen any local around me. Do you know of any good ones and where to get'em? Cheers!

Rednek, thanks for bringing to light, the rules and regulations that are behind being a responsible sportsmen in New Jersey. My intent wasn't to give bad information, just another option. It can be hard to find a legal location to release an animal and not all of us have a firearm to use. I...

Another no nonsense solution for a problem groundhog, is a #220 Conibear trap. Quick, easy and quiet. Just be absolutely sure to keep your dog or cat safely away from it because this trap is strong enough to harm or kill both. A Conibear is much quieter choice compared to a 22 mag or for longer...

Teegate, I have a second copy of the field guide on orchids that you may borrow as long as needed.;)

Teegate, Ladies'-tresses are one of the harder orchids to identify. One thing I have learned to look at that helps me ID the plant is the flower. If you look at the second picture of my post #162, the flower is completely white. Now look at the flower in your post #170. Notice how the throat of...

Teegate, to complicate things even more, Mjshevelin mentioned that, the two can create a hybrid. S. gracilis crossed with S. tuberosa creates S. xeamesii.

My friend is staying neutral on this discussion and sent me a hotlink to where many riders are concerned on another forum. http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=813730

It was very clear tonight and I was out for several hours. It was still early, and meteors were few. These two photos are RAW converted to JPEG directly off of the camera. If I stacked either of them or processed them through Lightroom, they would be much more vivid. The quality of the images...

I need to ask my friend to come aboard for a moment and give some details because he has a better understanding to what is happening. He helps run one of the clubs, which I out of courtesy, I won't name.

My understanding from several enduro club members is that the clubs have been having a very hard time getting permits for events and that the mentality is that the state doesn't want any activity in or on public land. Brendan Byrne State Forest was the specific area that was being discussed. The...

Boyd, on a clear night you can see the lights on the side of the casinos and their changing graphics. I might return tonight but tomorrow I have an early start for my work day.

Dan, when your on the mountain, try to find a good tree to climb and get a great view from even higher up. I have yet to find that perfect branch to perch from and look out on the vastness that can be felt. It doesn't even feel like you are in Jersey sometimes when the mist is rolling on top of...

This photograph shows how much light can't bee seen with the naked eye. This is Atlantic City from Warren Grove and all of the city lights reflected off of the cloud cover.

Manu, you can see it with the naked eye. It looks more like smoke blowing off a camp fire than the Milky Way. The photo I posted was taken from the "compass" pad just off of Range Road. I was behind the trees so that the hi-power lamps on the base didn't hit the camera directly.

It wasn't very long, just twenty-five seconds, f/4, and with an ISO of 1600. My 15mm wide angle lens isn't fast but it is crystal clear when wide open. I also forgot to lock the mirror which helps with the noise with my camera.
