Thank you TC. I have not only learned everything I know about the pine barrens from this forum, as a resource to scout locations, put names to places, and use the maps (including Boyds excellent Lidar maps, etc. But members like Manumuskin, Teegate, Bobpbx, RednekF350, 46er have taken the time to provide detailed location information with maps and advice on how to approach locations. I've learned how to get through briars, cross beaver dams, how to avoid Lyme disease... I could roam the woods for another 20 years and not have the knowledge that is present on this forum. Photographing the Pinelands National Reserve has become an obsession in the past 3 years, and I hope to approach critical mass in the next couple of years regarding having enough good photographs to "do something" with, whatever that may be. One of the pleasures has been dragging my 28 year old son along on quite a few trips. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he is fearless, maybe too a fault, in his "pathfinding" and urging me on. I have both books you mention, and suggest that you Google the photographs of Ernest Cozens if you are not familiar with him. His work is astounding in it's beauty. I appreciate the kind words.
