    Where is this?

    I do extremely little exploring along the major rivers. I tend to explore cedar swamps along small streams, open bogs and seepage areas. And I find myself in thicket areas a lot.too. I have no guess. Someone must know where this is.

    Where is this?

    My only guess is that you were in Cape May Point State Park. I see one spot there that could be a more exact location.

    Arethusa in the Rough

    I was afraid you was going to post that. But more importantly, do you see the two Arethusa's in the photo. I wound up sitting on them.

    Arethusa in the Rough

    Yesterday, Bob and I made a return trip back to the watershed, we call 'Dragon Valley', where we counted a large amount of Arethusa bulbosa (Dragon Mouth) orchids last year, to continue the count on several areas that we didn't have time. We hit two areas on this trip. Bob, chose an area along...

    Fire in Greenwood Forest Ocean County Near Jones Road

    As for the turkey beard, I saw that same occurrence in the area of the Sykes Branch and Sooey Rd after the Spring Hill Fire. Being in that area several times, I never realize now many plants were present. Being small, they normally hid in the understory. In very short time, they started to come...

    History Short of the Varnum Family of Atco

    Jessica: I'm not sure how you can follow the Varnum Family tree if you are not a direct descendent going back to the 1600's. In the first 7 generations, my direct Great Grandfathers had 10 to 12 kids each. One had 15. You can see the family tree grew quite large, quite fast, and with different...

    While We Were Sleeping, Very Bad Things Happened

    If I remember correctly, as I walked down that road with the two spungs, there were nice heavy duty wooden barriers in front of them. If the State wanted to close off that road in question, I would think a similar barrier would have been placed at the foot of that road.

    Fire in Wharton

    See 2015 DEP Map for 5 Mile Crossing, which you known it as California Branch Road. So, it makes sense that the road crosses California Branch.

    Fire in Wharton

    I would guess that the blue dash line is California Branch. It appears to be within the original fire area. Does anyone have another name for it? The red line is 5 Mile Crossing. It’s been noted by the FFS. It runs between Old Atsion Rd and Raritan Ave.

    Anybody know what made these footprints?

    If you google 'Aminal tracks in the snow with tail drag', you will find some good possibilities. I say it could be a muskrat or opossum.

    A Year in the Pines, recap- 2024

    Just Speculation. I have a hunch that the sandstone excavated from the mining site that I had visited was transportd by wagon to the site of the Harrsville Paper Mill. As the crow flies, the distance between the two is less than four miles. I can not find on the internet where the sandstone was...
