Hard choices have to me made. I side with the birds, but this ain't going to be easy. https://exit63.wordpress.com/2018/06/16/the-foxcatcher/

Here’s trouble. Found in my garage. And I carried this plastic thing and washed it out before I saw it.

The people want a place to sit on the beach. Imagine the nerve of those birds. From the article: "Added Scott Caffrey, “My concern as captain of the beach patrol is we’re selling all these beach badges, but there is no place for people to sit, especially on the most popular beaches." "The...

Shiny, too. https://wego.here.com/?map=39.46995,-74.42313,18,satellite&fb_locale=en_US

Interesting, the amount of signatures on this. My gut tells me to side with the state/feds. https://patch.com/new-jersey/lacey/s/gehzm/petition-calls-state-stop-killing-foxes-barrier-beaches

At my tender age, I've started to make sure my pants have some stretch in the waistband when I buy them. Surprisingly, it seems more manufacturers of pants realize this, as they are including stretch waistbands on most of their pants. It might be an American thing. I attribute it to beer...

I love looking at maps and aerials. I can while away hours surveying the land. It's super-interesting to me. I created this thread to share some things I find. If you have things to contribute, go for it. I pore over maps and aerials looking for new exploring places. I like looking for...

This is an interesting read from 1903. Damn locomotives and careless farmers burning brush. One "feeble-minded" person in the mix. Starts on page 45...

I'm driving west on Dover Road from the intersection of Lacey Road yesterday around 1PM, heading to the parkway for a visit up north. When i get to that curve where ten-mile hollow is, near the small pond on the north side of the road, I see something strange on the trail heading back to the...

I kayaked down the Oswego River yesterday. I used to do the Oswego a lot in the 1970’s, so I was shocked to see how the wider areas (and even next to the the banks on the narrow areas) are overtaken by Zizania aquatica. I did not take photos in the heavier sections because I had to fight my way...

I was about 1/2 mile below the Wading Pines Campground this afternoon, exploring along the river. I came upon a scary looking water pocket that had that ominous "blue hole" feel to it. I was looking around the narrow outlet of it and jumped across a small, sluggish stream emanating from it due...

I was exploring along the West Wading today at the below location south of 563. I'm in pretty deep and here comes this child of about 10 years old floating lazily down the river on one of those plastic round tubes shaped like a tire that you'd normally see in a pool. She seemed all alone. I...

A question for anyone having knowledge on this subject. I have a slip of paper with a reference to a location related to botany. The paper reads: 12th St. Sta,. Folsom, Atlantic Co., on Hospitality Branch. July, 1909 I know where the Hospitality branch is in Folsom. But do you think the author...

It's sad. http://www.nj.com/opinion/index.ssf/2017/07/bad_bennie_behavior_at_island_beach_mulshine.html

I think this is an interesting perspective on the Pines via Google Maps. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8824187,-75.0909284,42474a,35y,117.42h,49.14t/data=!3m1!1e3

I could be swayed if given a good argument, or if I'm wrong in my interpretation, but I see this as a bad bill the way I interpret it. For instance, if voting on a change to the master plan that benefits agricultural interests, then members of the commission who work farms would not have to...

Have any of you canoed the Oswego this week? I'm wondering what the water level is like for a trip.
