No need to take it personal. I was just telling you as I see it.

I'm betting nearly 100% of the people on this forum are wondering what set you off.

Are you not smart enough to do that yourself?

It is still burning out there in the Quaker Bridge area. In fact, one area was really smoking but we did not go to it. Anyway, we explored a few dunes and spent a short time in the Parker Preserve before heading home a little earlier today. A short video below.

The dunes.

And the fire.

These were taken June 20. I only had my phone with me so unfortunately the depth of field isnt great.

Great report Guy. Yeah, the snake fatalities and I’m sure many turtles, is always a sad fact. Not everybody wins in a forest fire though we often emphasize the benefits. Nesting birds are also so vulnerable.

In my original post I mentioned I found a large stone while exploring the Mine Spung Branch and today Jessica and I went back to dig around it. Unfortuantly, it is not large at all and almost for sure not a property stone, just a basic piece of sandstone.

At Tuckerton road along the JCRR we can see that someone is driving back to Quarter Mile.

And while at Quarter Mile proper we see they were there.

By 9AM we were sweating so bad we headed cross county to our vehicle and headed home. Jessica's heart rate was in the low 160s.

Sweating pretty bad

When the weather is like this I stay in or very close to water,preferably a cold water crik.This heat ain't no joke.
