    Random Notes-ATV Park

    I could not resist going to the site of the Stafford Business Park today-this is where the developer is going to cap the landfill in exchange for being allowed to build many homes. I was also interested in driving some of the sand roads west of the park. This is real no-man's land, hard core...

    Don't buy an Apple

    Just to change the subject. I have nothing against them. But, I do own Dell, so hate to see Dell get trashed every time I look at the forum titles.

    Oswego Wilds

    This outstanding weather is a very rare opportunity in August for me to get to the back side of the Oswego River behind the FAA tower in Warren Grove. I want to see what grows there. I'll follow the river to where it joins the big resevoir. I'd rather not go alone, so if anyone wants to join me...

    Perpetual Pine Barren Safari

    The other thread where you guys are discussing vehicles has me thinking, and I really was thinking about it today anyway. Now that I am officially divorced, I am looking ahead to what my retirement days will look like. I won't have a lot of money for travel, and will be living in a box in a...

    Step by Step

    Inch by inch they moved into the core of the pine barrens, until there was only an acre left. The noise of all the creatures shoved into that acre was deafening. And the shrieking turned to crying. Asbury Park Press, Jul. 15, 2006 PINELANDS PANEL OKS RELOCATION OF SNAKES Will allow...

    Argggh! :cry:

    Argggh! I was telling Ben via email that I got a good healthy dose of chiggers by walking around my car at work the other day. I was parked in a quiet spot off Route 70 just East of Lakehurst eating lunch, and I walked around the car briefly to see what was growing in the spare, calf-high...

    Bonnaroo

    My son Nick drove to Bonnaroo in Tennessee with 2 friends, camping equipment, a case of Coors gold and a gallon of vodka-and who knows what else in the car. He turned 21 last Saturday. I worried about him, they left 4pm Wednesday and drove all night. He is there and okay (or was as of Friday...

    Chicks and Young Guns

    Two interesting encounters this weekend: I rounded a bend on a creek and up walked a large turkey out of the sloped bank by the stream. Very agitated, clucking and hollering, kept close to the area. Due to my Woodcock experience 2 weeks ago I was sure what was going on. It only took me 15...

    The amazing diving duck bird

    Who could resist a nature walk with this morning's weather? Not me! I was at Dover Forge and saw a couple interesting things. I rounded the corner at the backwater slough that is there, and I saw what looked like a black duck. He was darker than midnite, and kind of glossy. I thought maybe we...

    Guns, Guns, Guns

    Did you see the display of confiscated guns the Philadelphia Police displayed, just from this year? Called them the real weapons of mass destruction. They are right about that, and it was a very effective display. Not sure what they can change, but something has to change. We cannot go on like...
