    Change is coming to Washington Crossing

    This is sad news. The historic Washington Crossing Bridge is set to be replaced. In my opinion, the narrow bridge keeps traffic down in the park area and a modern replacement could be built at the sight of the former Yardley-Wilburtha crossing that was never replaced after the '55 flood. This...

    Music for the day

    I wish Willie Watson would come back to OCMS. His voice, that scratchy 78s sound, was a perfect compliment to Secor's.

    Strange lights over the Pines

    Have you considered what you saw may have been Chinese sky lanterns? These have fooled many a folk around here with their bright lights and graceful slow flight on the wind currents.

    Christmas at Batsto

    The detail on the newel is a Victorian or Italianate interpretation of a steam hammer from the time period?

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I can't believe what has happen in central and northern New Jersey. It is sad and alarming how deadly heavy rains can become. I saw first hand some of the damage today and it was brutal to see the power of water.

    NJ Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan

    I heard a public announcement on the radio several times in the last few days that was a surprise. The attorney general was stating that off road vehicles can only be ridden on private property. The message was quite clear that if any rider was caught on a public road, state property, park or...

    A tick bite devastated a N.J. man’s life. Why are cases soaring?

    So does everyone here have a solid program that they use to help prevent tick bites and insect bites in general? I guess here is as good as any place to have a discussion. I have used four products in the for years and have been successful at eliminating almost all bites. Keep in mind most of...

    Where is this?

    I saw it and was torn between those two locations. I will take a guess just for the fun of it. Near here? https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.743429423266356&lng=-74.39878264089667&z=17&type=hybrid&gpx=

    Where is this?

    Bob, I was at first thinking you were behind the FAA tower, heading towards the Oswego. Then I thought Stafford Forge near the airport. Now I have no idea.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I was in Parker and Wharton for most of today. It doesn't even look like any rain even fell through that region. The ground soaked everything up. There were only a few small puddles. Every stream was still lower than usual. The aquifer and water through the region must be more complex of a...

    Land Speculation

    If that land was buildable, there would have been a super Wawa built by now. It is nice location for one of the cookie cutter corporations.

    Texas Tower #4

    Red, one of the lightship masts was a eatery landmark for decades along side of Route 130 as it crosses through Yardville. I forgot about the Giovi's beacon until I saw the ship in your link. http://grovevillememories.blogspot.com/2008/07/beacon.html

    Pine snakes

    Fair enough. I just think it is unusual behavior for a Timber and I don’t see the dark colored fade in the tail.

    Pine snakes

    I am going to say that the snake in the video is a Northern Pine. If you look closely at the 1:54 mark, you can see the taper in the tail with no rattle. Pine snakes are incredible hunters. I have seen them swimming in a cranberry bog chasing after mice along the bank. I have also seen them...

    Hahaha! Thanks Bob. I overlooked the post date and was just glancing over the responses. It makes more sense now.

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    Isn't this canceled? I thought there was push back and plans had to change.

    Finding a property corner

    Your surveyor didn't have a heavy bladed two foot long machete to get through the denser growth? Shameful!

    Hiking socks

    I usually work twelve hour plus days. so sock and boots are very important to me. (My bed is equally important!) I have found Bridgedale, Smartwool and Darntough to be the brands that work best for me. It all depends on what will be the task for the day.

    There is a need to increase the tonnage? What do they have in mind that needs to cross that bridge in the future?
