They were eating me alive inland in July. It was awful! It was around mid to late July that I stopped on the roadside by a marsh and swampy woods to eat a sandwich. I still had my high boots on and I rolled up the windows cause the flies were knocking on them. I was dying as my air conditioner was broken, so I rolled out of the car and peeled the boots and wet socks off. I got back in and shut everything up. Just about the time I took a bite, I got 3 bites on the top of my naked right foot in quick succession. My entire foot top turned red and swollen. I decided to leave that day. It was awful, the itching.
I have decided that unless it's absolutely necessary to be there, from now on, I'm going to take two weeks off in July from being anywhere near a marsh or sea beach.
Here is the trail from Higbee parking lot to the bay. There are many trails from the parking lot, some around fields and another that parallels the beach. If you walk towards the Atlantis there are several trails from the beach to the parallel one. If you are lucky, you might see the ghost tracks. Afterward there is Harpoon's on the other side of the canal.
No, it was only 3 days ago.Mr. Moyer, were there Greenhead Flies back then?
I was asking about in the year 1400. I thought you might have been around.
It had to be in 1492, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.I was asking about in the year 1400. I thought you might have been around.
Reminds me Ed. I walked up to that beach from the south about 8 years ago or so. Lo and behold, out of the corner of my eye I saw a man that had no....
It used to be a nude beach until Christie Whitman ended it, butt some people still do.
I thought some of you may want to help me solve this puzzle of a pine tree, near a building on Two Mile Beach. I've narrowed it down to 2 species, but between the two, I'm very more invested in one of them. The needles are 3.5 to 4.5 inches long on average.
Bingo. Pinus nigra is what I came up with. The other contender was that Japanese Pine, but I could not see it. These pines, I understand, are often used at the shore as a windbreak, the effectiveness drops the taller they become.
My quess. After crossing the Mullica River going north on GSP, you are approaching the first exit that would put you on Route 9.
