    Evapotranspiration in our Pine Barrens

    Interesting presentation. Bottom line theory is, when the pines are jam-packed together and so more able to suck water out of the ground (and thereby evaporate more water to the atmosphere), our aquifers are more rapidly depleted. At least that's what I get out of it. I knew about...

    Airpark Wildfire last September in Lacey Township

    I visited the subject wildfire area yesterday. This was definitely an extremely hot fire. In the top 5 of my memory for sure. All the trees in the fire path were burned right to their distant tips, and in many places the duff was burned right down to the sand. It probably was a slow moving fire...

    Off Road Park Chatsworth

    I don't know if we have this on NJPineBarrens, so I'll plop it right here. Do NOT call the number. It's closed forever.

    Slow since yesterday

    Very slow. I restored and cleared my cache. Have you seen any lag?

    Lidar Reveals

    This is odd. Lidar on left, 1980 on right. Inexplicable. Easy to get to just north of 72. Maybe they just left piles of sand or scraped around small areas to leave some trees?

    A cool story about a cool car

    Cars are one of my great interests in this World. I thought you'd get a kick out of this if you like them as well. https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/cars/this-1966-wildcat-is-so-pristine-it-still-has-original-air-in-its-tires-19198af3?st=6ow2lx188qp2h69&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    Ron (Rooftree) had noticed an old symbol for a mine on the subject topo map, and it’s also on the 1885 Cook Topo Map. The mined area is in Bass River Township, about 2 miles northwest of Lake Absegami. Ron visited the site with a friend, and I visited the site yesterday with him, as I was...

    One More (for the road)

    I've always questioned the naming of this bar. I recall it was named something different before this (I thought it had "for the road" on the end). I've never been inside. Any of you?

    Xfinity Cable Service Increase

    In December of 2023, their service was increased by 7%. In December of 2024, my bill was again increased, this time by 9.7% I have a couple questions. I'd like some feedback if I'm wrong. There is something rotten in the way they are doing this. They must have submitted a big increase of 17%...

    Chicken Soup

    I had not made turkey or chicken soup in 3 years. I missed it. 11 quarts to freeze today. So convenient with rolls and butter. I got busy when I saw shoprite had fresh soup at a whopping $5.99 for an 8 ounce serving. Even using 16 ounce servings as a guide, my 16 oz servings are $1.80 each (okay...

    Cross Hairs

    Boyd, I remember when your map program first came out you had a on-off button for the crosshairs. I admit, I said at the time I would not use it, that I don't mind seeing the cross hairs. That has changed since I use your program so much now. I snip maps a lot that have waypoints on them, and...
