    @BigWoollyMammoth - Your pictures are great and I'm sure everyone appreciates them. But they are way too large, some are as big as 8 MB and almost all are over 3 MB - you have posted around 200 MB of photos in this thread. I don't want to discourage you from sharing your pictures, but this is...

    Your Forest Under Attack: MAP Misinformation from the DEP

    You have bumped a nine-year-old thread here. This is a discussion of the previous MAP from 2015. Have a look at the 2024 thread, @stiltzkin has overlaid the maps here...

    Moon today?

    Yes, it was Jupiter! https://www.space.com/jupiter-moon-earthshine-march-2024 Another shot, not very good but it shows Jupiter. The earth-shine was clearly visible on the moon out in the dark too, resolution of the handheld phone camera is kind of low to show that clearly though. Too bad I...

    Moon today?

    Sorry I missed that early morning moon last month, but I'm just going to piggyback on this thread instead of starting a new one if you don't mind. :) Beautiful moon this evening, a thin crescent "cup". Just a couple quick handheld shots out back with my three year old iPhone, right from the...

    Incoming: Big boydsmaps update

    It's a little hard to nail that number down. I see 150 IP addresses being used in the last 24 hours but not likely those are all actually different (real) people. To answer that question, I would need to identify users with some kind of data stored on their devices (such as cookies) and I don't...

    The new menu is now online. You may not see it immediately due to the usual cache issues however.

    Incoming: Big boydsmaps update

    Switched to a bold font, solid black background and brighter green. Also made the selected map monochrome. I find this much more readable, but now that I've re-written the relevant code it will be pretty easy to tweak further if needed. Still have almost two hours left of a big 10-hour map tile...

    Yeah, I agree that the colors could be improved. My focus was just getting all the major changes online, but I will have another look at this now, the colors need more contrast.

    Wind Advisory

    Some of the gusts have been pretty scary. Not a good day for a walk in the woods. :( Power flickered a few times last night but didn't go out. I have to give props to Atlantic City Electric. For the past few weeks there have been convoys of Asplundh trucks trimming trees around the power lines...

    Pine Barren History Shorts

    Very cool, I have wondered about Butler Place before. The 1949 USGS topo shows the recreation area but doesn't have the Butler Place name, so I never quite made the connection before. But the other historic topo's show the name as Butler's Place. Somehow that got shortened to just Butler...

    Some old threads. There are a few photos and a couple more in articles that are linked to. Unfortunately, lots of broken links in the older threads. https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/cedar-bridge-tavern-1938-and-today.3192/...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    We had a lot of rain here yesterday, was out around 2:00 PM and roads were flooding in the Mays Landing area. Looking better this morning (so far). The rain this weekend might not be as bad as they were suggesting before.

    That wouldn't surprise me. If this was the plan, IMO it would have been better left un-said...

    LIDAR coverage expansion in progress

    A major expansion of the mid-atlantic LIDAR map is currently underway. This is a huge project that I've been working on for months. Right now, the bottleneck is the amount of rendering time required, my computer is processing data 24/7 and it's going to take two or three more weeks before I'm...

    That sounds like the place in Al's link above. That building on the map has always fascinated me, have meant to check it out for years but never get around to it. https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.414158/-74.908667/pines2023/0.00/0.00 It shows on the 24k legacy topo but not the 1930's aerials...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Yeah, those numbers seem to be on the low side of the individual forecasts. They are predicting between 1.5" and 2.75" for my area today but the total on that map for the whole week is 2" to 3". Guess we'll find out soon enough.
