    Exploring Along The Wesickaman Creek Near Atsion

    Just an educated guess, but they look like the not fully developed acorn from the sawtooth oak. The sawtooths nut body is almost completly covered by a hairy cap until they are mature. They may have been killed by an early frost (they are a more southern tree) or drilled out by a nut borer...

    mullica river camping

    Campfires are allowed unless there are restrictions. If there are restrictions in place they will tell you. I wouldn't bring any alcohol, they are pretty clear on that. You may be able to sneak it thru, but not worth the trouble IMHO.

    mullica river camping

    That is a great spot to stay if you are paddling that strech. The State has now implemented an online reservation system. There is no other way to reserve. I called Atsion and tried to get the spots like years past and was referred to "Reserve America" or something like that. It has...

    Tax reassessment

    Boyd, Gloucester county did the same thing about 2 years ago. The assesor showed up and asked if he could come in, or if he should come back another time. I let him in and it took all of about 5 minutes. He basically wanted to verify that the info on the property tax form was accurate (ie no...

    Ocean County Gunning and Decoy Show

    Wow, What a great show this year. It was my best ever. Rain held off and had good crowds thru both Saturday and Sunday. The dock dog competition was a big draw and fun to watch. Also really enjoyed the awards ceremony seeing many deserved folks take home the Conklin award for lifetime of living...

    Propane costs?

    It depends how big your tank is, and if you own or lease the tank. Most companies lease you your tank + you can only buy from them. Thus pricing is not as competitive as if you own your tank and can shop around. I had a local company that I used for years try to charge me almost 7.00 a gallon...

    Vehicle for traveling sand roads

    I have an old Cj-5 now I use for pines exploring, but previously I used a 2 wheel drive ford ranger. Airing down tires is key and also using a locking differential. (allows both rear wheels to maintain traction. ) This allowed me to cover 90% of the pines roads, the only limiting factor was...
