Nice. I always wanted to visit there. Some day.

Thanks you all, glad you enjoyed them. Here is one I forgot for the herpers. I found him by the high water bridge. It did not seem natural. He was very slow and plodding, perhaps cause it was about 63 degrees out? Is he a bull frog?

This flatlander decided it was time to get back up to another area I really like, the Adirondacks in NY. I have been there about 6 times previously, but this time I went to the High Peaks area around Lake Placid. I set off this Tuesday, with the main goal to climb Mount Marcy (5400 feet), NY’s...

You can't have it both ways Mark. Global warming is still an open question to you? That is surprising you feel that way because lot of knowledgeable scientists think it is definitely real. You think its 50-50 because the world increases in temperatures enough to go through ice ages, and while...

I don't believe this is accurate Jeff, or even close to accurate. Everything I have ever read indicates they only traveled through, or maybe hunted in the pines before retiring to their villages along the Rancocas and other rivers where agriculture was more fruitful (no pun intended). The...

Here is another relieving thing to do for those that get really hot and itchy. I do this at work or while I'm trying to sleep and I have one or two that refuse the stop itching. Get an ice pack and hold it on the bite for 5-10 minutes. It takes away the itch for a long, long time.

By the way, there is a nice house for sale in Bamber. It is the first one on Dover Road in from the intersection with Lacey.

For those interested in learning more about how spungs were formed, Mark Demitroff is giving a talk in November. Here is the information he gave me. I highly recommend it. I saw the one at the short course and it was really interesting: The Gloucester County Nature Club invited me to speak at...

Very nice. Your photos have the touch of an artist. You are correct in your latin names as well.

I don't think so. They won't release the actual parcel information until its a done deal. That is a wise decision. If someone else wanted it they could walk in and outbid the state. They say...."The Forked River Mountains in Lacey", but I surmise they are just using the common name for the...

Nice photos. Where is that branch? I'll bet the peat was for a pot farm.

I think Gabe spotted this one.

I hope this is not old news to some (sept 28 release): Pinelands Commission approves nearly $4 million expenditure to preserve more than 3,200 acres in Atlantic, Burlington and Ocean counties Money to be disbursed from the Pinelands Conservation Fund NEW LISBON, N.J. – The New Jersey...

I'll let you know. If the weather holds I am going back Sunday (plants).

Thank you all, for your kind comments. Yes Ben, after a fashion it is. I believe it is a class one river. Up in the headwaters it has very little impact from pesticides, large developments, etc. The one thing that may affect it in the future is the septic systems in Bamber (like mine). And...

I cleaned a couple gutters on my house yesterday, so I treated myself to a walk in the far end of Dover Forge at dusk; Hidden Creek. Not often visited: Same creek, downstream: Jumbled view of cedars: Vine on burned cedar: Coopers? The cedar at Dover forge is...

Actually, I partly posted cause I was so sick of seeing that post title about the NJ Teen unlocking the Apple phone. http://gpstracklog.typepad.com/gps_tracklog/2007/07/garmin-rino-530.html

Weird. I got there tonite by going to the first link, then "recent publications", then chose the first link about spungs and I was able to get in.......

Sure you can Gabe. That makes the trip an 8.75 I believe!

That is not natural. I wonder if some highway department worker is dumping them in the creek as they find them on the road. You should send an email to the Forest Service.
