When I click your link, I get this below. I snipped just to show the background. And yes, that was today.

Speaking of Alligators, I noticed this tail (ridge) in the pine plains as I was looking at something today. It had to be those katabatic winds howling off the glacier top and driving the sand up and over a sandstone ridge. The first image below is from the Mid-Atlantic Lidar 3D, and the second...

I just don't understand why they could not have issued a simple map graphic showing where the existing land is along with the addition.

I watch the dewpoint before I go out into the woods just to see what I'm in for. This year it's been up in the 70's. I don't keep records of past years, but I don't recall it staying at even 69 for long periods. I wear field shirts of polyester or nylon blend. I took off a saturated one last...

Uh-oh, call the police. We can't have llegal RGB values. :)

Too soon! Sad to hear of his passing. What was his screen name?

For ferns I still use NJ Ferns and Fern Allies. I'm sure you know of it. I did find Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides at lakehurst, but never saw it anywhere else in South Jersey yet. Yes, Mark went to Tony's course, I think maybe twice. I just never found the time. As to Xyris...

An interesting article. It's a gift article so you can read it...

The state has done some work today, and will do possibly more tomorrow.

I've been on several of Gerry's trips. Sometimes he and I discuss abscence of, or new inclusions to, the Flora of Southern NJ via email. It tickles me how he sometimes leads in his sneakers and regular plants. He is a wealth of knowledge for sure, and his recent authorship of an overview of the...

I'm going to propose that their drains were clogged in a low area.

When we have a very hot burn, or a bulldozed piece of ground, Mark and I often visit the location at least 2 years in a row, to see what comes up. It's fascinating to see things pop up unexpectedly, like; "what's that doing here"? And with the new carbon load in the ground, things grow to sizes...

That's very interesting. I collect plants, and have most of the PL ferns in my collection. But I'm purely a generalist (but do favor grasses and sedges), and when I do encounter a fern I don't know, I pray the sori are intact and mature. That's rarely the case!

Thank you for opening up. I've not been on a trip in 5 years or so. I used to consider leading trips into the pines, but I always discarded the idea thinking that people on the other side of the river have either seen it all, or would not care to be thrust that deep into the swamps and...

Wait, did you see northern italy AND southern italy? And I said above I just realized my mom's grandfather (on her mothers side) is not Irish, but likely Italian. (Last name: Cassese). So that must be the tipping point to Northern Italy. My mom's last name: Zaccardo. Add Cassese, and you have it.

To make it more complex, I did Ancestry as well, and that is below on the right. I have not reached the point where I want to dig deeper. By the way, I seem to age a bit every time each of these websites sends me a new email to try and tease me into spending more to dig deeper. That turns me...

Interesting Ron. I recall Beck mentioned it in one of his books.

Interesting. Some similarities with me, but my mom's father was Italian. Her mother was Irish, my Dad was a Dane.

I lived there several years and never heard that it was moved. I figured it had burned down. I wonder if it's still there near Ongs hat.

What did your DNA say about your origins Al? What part of Europe?
