On Saturday I walked thru the bass river fire area entering at Allen Road. Quite a hot burn, already saw signs of life coming back in, but also saw the effects of fire. Will be exploring much more there over the coming months. Did see three cooked box turtles that were about 20 feet from a water...

Rained hard in marlton but almost nothing in Shamong and tabernacle.

Frogs are happy in the backyard, spades, fowlers and tree frogs all going. Little under a half inch but every little bit counts right now.

Must be cigarette but getting tossed. Can’t imagine what else it would be.

Guy did you notice the weird burned areas on edge of road near the memorial? Almost seems like they were doing backfire practice. Just little 50 foot wide sections. Someone did a number on that bridge on both sides of it. Must have happened Friday night.

Lots of Abrams in this area, or at least a lot of signs with the name on them! Bob, this is my neck of the woods, I never knew much of the area (Indian mills) growing up but we love the area. I consider it the pines but more of the agg side. Pretty sure that road is private. I’ve driven by...

We got about 1 inch of rain in May and typically get 5-6. It’s once again drying up ponds, canals, etc. Woods is quite quiet, grey tree frogs barely calling because it’s so cool at night.

Bob, atv are a real problem there along with trucks. They come from the sanctuary and off the dirt jackson section. There are a lot of pbtf that breed along that cut and historically timber and pine snakes have crossed there. Every kid in sanctuary has a quad and rips thru the woods there. The...

Also trying to figure out why the Gloucester county fire was called the box turtle fire, not a fan of that name.

At some point the area from Jackson road dirt road, to Jackson road by atco raceway to Atsion will burn and will be a monster fire. It’s beyond thick back there and a real issue. There is tremendous amount of beautful wetlands there but there is plenty of thick woods as well.

Winds are pushing it towards Jackson road though so should be ok.

If this fire was on the other side of that cut, it could potentially burn all the way to Atco raceway and up to a Atsion Road but it’s pretty contained where it is because it’s not gonna jump that cut and it’s not gonna jump Jackson Road. I can see the smoke pretty good an hour ago from my...

Was actually cutts cranberries guy sitting in his truck blocking road. Was at intersection of cutts and calico.

I drove martha road and some of cutts. Was turned back though. Not much smoke at all. 679 was back fired otherwise didn’t see much signs.

Another 1000 acres of sustained pine barrens for a few decades!

Cooper branch?

Bob, you can’t miss spadefoots, big cat eyes, play dead when you pick them up and ball up. They wait years for rains like that, breed in huge numbers then disappear like nothing happened. Even with all this rain the ponds near my house soaked it up and are not holding water.

Drove around by my house and there was 100s of spadefoots out on roads and in ponds.

Coming down heavy here. Would think another 1.5-2 inches more of rain. Finally hearing frogs calling and migrating to ponds now with some minimal water in them.

Got 3 inches here, I agree we got a lot of rain overnight. This should do a good job of getting some wetlands filled up a bit. Still need 2-3 more of these.
