    Old road running through Mordecai Swamp

    I think the British stupidly wore bright red coats with white trim. Stuck out like sore thumbs, probably day and night! However, they did have tory dogs with them. You should schedule with Gabe and go Al. I have a couple medical procedures this month, one is a surgery. Let me know when you do...

    Winter Storm Watch

    Yes, I remember that. Back to back storms in February that year. I was living as a winter resident in Seaside Park. We got 22" and then two weeks later 24". I remember going up on the boardwalk by the log flume at night with the blowing snow. It was surreal.

    Old road running through Mordecai Swamp

    Al, there is a wealth of information in "Smugglers Woods" *(Arthur Pierce). The rebels did erect some defense at Chestnut Neck (pg 48): "they ranged themselves in a breastwork erected on an eminence and showed themselves in a battery (which we afterwards found had no guns)." The British had to...

    Old road running through Mordecai Swamp

    You have yet to cite a source for the statement that patriots built these trenches. Did you read it somewhere?

    Do you not think they'd be sitting ducks as they rowed up there?

    Winter Storm Watch

    Never got more than a couple inches? Often, the Jersey coast sees the most snow from winter nor'easters.

    2003, my home in Bamber, and Eddie across the street digging out his A-Frame.

    Winter Storm Watch

    Back when I was a pup, a major storm would be 18" or more. What's the next level up from major, catastrophic, 100-year, calamitous, death dealing, crippling?

    Seabeach Amaranth

    The office I work for (part time) put out a nice presentation on the efforts to revitalize this species. Great photos in here. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8ef3760b8f46470b91847762f10437af

    That sounds suicidal.

    I don't think their ships could get that far up anyway, right? You can see the shoals at the island.

    GIS software recommendation

    This year, in my plant surveying, I've had to import data to and from Excell and a GPS. I am in no way a techie, so I needed something easy and stable. I purchased a one year subscription to Expert GPS. It comes with an aerial now. I don't know all of it's capabilities, but you should at least...

    suv left / stuck in blueberry field

    That's just old Junior, he tips a few and ends upset like that sometimes. I probably would have walked over there to see if they were okay.

    Two Firms Eyeing Sites In Shamong For Cannabis Operations

    It's laughable, since it's just a plant for God's sake. They'll let you grow tobacco and that kills thousands.

    Two Firms Eyeing Sites In Shamong For Cannabis Operations

    I'll take the regular market anyday. If I do any, its just a couple puffs from the pipe a night. I ain't meeting no guy on the street for that.

    Two Firms Eyeing Sites In Shamong For Cannabis Operations

    Very interesting Ed. They must have been able to start that when the law allowed medical cannabis in NJ. Some of that work looks tedious though, but they likely rotate people around into different postiions.

    NJ Not Saving Forests From Vehicle Damage

    I know hikers pretty well, even though they are not the kind I explore with. The older ones start to become indignant at others who would spoil their time in the woods by minor (environmental) infractions. We had one in our exploring club once (and briefly). He got real upset because someone...

    NJ Not Saving Forests From Vehicle Damage

    That's a very odd story. After the biker was stabbed, he road home. But who called the cops, and why didn't the biker call them when he got home? I wonder if the other hikers called the cops on the stabber. I'll bet that was a heated discussion. Edit: more to the story. Madness. I think the...
