All,
On 1/12 all members of PBX received this edited announcement from Bob concerning our next PBX trip.
Say Boys, pack up yer gunny sack and git yer gum shoes on! This one is entitled “Bass River Headwaters Area” We’ll meet 8:30 AM sharp on Saturday, 16 Feb, down in the Bass River State Forest, right close to Lake Absegami on Bridge Road. Our plan is to start out high and dry next to Tommy’s Branch, and to evenutally intersect with Dan’s Bridge Branch, which is part of the East Branch. We’ll follow Dan’s Bridge Branch up till we run outta water, and then cross over the highlands to the West Branch, and thence down to the Oswego Road and a vehicle parked and waiting for us.
Let me know if you can make it! Love to have you along.
Happy Trails to you!…..bob
Everyone had an invitation to be on this hike but we had no takers except Turtle who was not able to make it because of work. On this trip we have from left to right bypassing myself in the middle ..... non member Paul, Woodjin, pinelandpaddler, RedneKF350, Hewey, and bobpbx.

We were in a wonderful area where the natural effects of fire were working it's magic. Notice the fire cut was filled with new growth and also with Bob.
In the Bass River area they have put up electric fences to keep the deer out and to allow the cedar to regrow.
So the question is how do they power that fence all the way out in the woods? Well, the answer is quite cool as in cooler. Place a marine battery in a cooler, attach a solar panel, and hide it a considerable distance from the fence where nobody except PBX would find it. I have to say the cooler has seen better days.
And what would Valentines week be without a Valentine helium balloon. When Bob was running out of oxygen he decided to switch to helium to get his point across.
I did not take many photo's today for various reasons but I am sure they other members have some to pass along. Even though the weather was cold and wet at times out there, I still had a good time and enjoyed myself.
