    Do all you guys actually subscribe to that paper? It's fun to read, the Courier Post! Who remembers that jingle?

    Bottle hunting reccomendations

    Hmm. I'm not onboard with that stance Al. Even a little moisture in the ground will cause the soil to expand when frozen. And if the ground expands, the bottle gets squeezed. You've heard of frost heaving, I'm sure.

    When were we there? Maybe we can squeeze about an inch more out of her now!

    Shouldn't be too hard, you still have some of those duds hanging around when you were a teen, right? :)

    New Jersey Big Tree Program

    A worthy endeavor, keeping track of the big ones. Gets one outdoors, to different places, meeting new people, and in a relaxing manner. How can you beat that?

    Property Taxes

    You know, here's the weird part. They assessed me at $305K soon after the recession. I was happy with that even though I knew it was worth less. Why? It was psychological. I felt better, and was willing to pay a bit more to have my house advertised on the tax rolls for that much. But then, they...

    Nice interactive map that gives bad news. I don't know where this is going, but we are really over the top. I don't know the answer, but I can guess the cause...

    Good reference Al. Google Earth (downloadable) has those on the aerial view. I wonder if they are exact.

    Where is this?

    JohnnyB and Al, you are correct. You know your pine groves.

    Where is this?

    That is a good guess, but incorrect. Still, I know that area too, which tells me you love the pine groves too, since they are there as well.

    Where is this?

    I usually don't post the difficult ones having only the natural landscape in them, but I thought that if some of you like these open pine groves as much as I do, you'd get this spot with a couple of guesses. If you come within a 1/4 mile radius of this one, that is close enough to tell me you...

    Salem County Stones

    Very cool Al. I bet the mud wetness on that cold day was because of the sun the day before. Water is quite stable when it comes to temperature, and the ground soaks up a lot of heat from the sun. Probably that plus the vegetation insulated the ground. Just a theory.

    Salem County Stones

    Al, If you look on the aerial for the topography immediately downstream from Maskells Millpond, you see these large fields. Do you know if they are agriculture...and what it is growing there? They have odd shapes and such. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.4778689,-75.402819,2497m/data=!3m1!1e3

    The Woods Of Atsion Meadow; a PBX Hike.

    Yes, I do believe the Mutha was bigger at breast height. Interesting thought: we only saw a portion of that swamp Saturday. We walked in almost single file. What else is out there? Mutha's Father?

    Al, those 2 photos are different trees. The shot of Chris is the larger one. Here is Chris again with the entire photo.

    The Woods Of Atsion Meadow; a PBX Hike.

    Guy put together a good one. Nice rolling country back there. We crossed about 4 cedar swamps. Thanks as always for the snacks and spo-de-do Mr. Old man O' the Woods!
