    The Artificial Bog

    I was at his house a few years ago. It really is a neat place. I plan to try it someday. They can point you to large resinous container tubs that are used. http://www.app.com/article/20110619/NJNEWS/306190039/A-passion-in-bog-plants?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|Frontpage|s

    Directions Please!

    Hi you west jersey guys. My daughter works on White Horse Road in Voorhees. She wants to come back home to me in Bamber by avoiding the daily snarl from the 73 overpass to any point east of the 70/Stokes Road junction. There she'll get back on 70 and head east. This is what I told her. Is it...

    Our Rancoacas

    This photo shows how the Rancocas is changing. This is my son from this morning. He caught this carp in a small canal that was made for a mill in Mt. Holly. It would be interesting to know exactly where the pickeral peter out and these begin. I'd bet somewhere near Smithville?

    May Arethusa

    Myself, Guy, Jess, and Mike Baker did a little local exploring this morning for Arethusa. I love this orchid, as each is original. I give them female names because of their beauty. This is Grace. This is Kim. And we went to a spot I always wanted to visit. It is stunningly beautiful. The...

    Forked River Mountain Cleanup

    The cleanup this year is on Sunday, April 17. My cleanup area is deep in, over by the Parkway, just North of the Middle Branch of the Forked River. I am seeking a few people for my crew. You do need a 4 wheel drive to get back there. I will have gloves and bags. We will likely not find any...

    Attention NJ Forest Fire Service

    New Jersey Forest Fire Service, I visited the road and firebreaks you recently made off of Dover Road in Ocean County in Double Trouble. This is a sorry piece of work you have done to these woods. There is no excuse for this butcher job. You seem to think it’s okay to go through there with...

    Atlantic Coastal Plain

    I'm always interested in the bigger elevation changes found in our relatively flat pine barren land, especially ones that are steep. Most of them dip into a cedar swamp. There is one on the Factory Branch headwaters that I have always been impressed by. You can see them on the topo as bunched up...

    Driving Google

    I have been having great fun and finding it very interesting to drive Google. I go to Google Maps, select a location and a good improved road and zoom into street view. If you push the oval shape far down the road and click it on the road, you move up very rapidly. Keep doing that, and it is as...

    Ron gets Around

    ..."He asserts that the animal groaned at him in a way that conveyed exasperation. Evans got the distinct impression that he and his spotlight had spoiled the creature’s hunt." Al, wasn't that you looking for a particluar stone? I know you and Guy can get awful sore when stone hunts are...
