Hello, Many of you will remember me from a couple years ago when I was somewhat active in this group, before it was a Google Group. I have been invited back a few times, and finally I decided to sign up and come back.
I still live in the NJ Pine Barrens. A few months ago I started fooling around with my account on Youtube. I was adding favorite videos to it. Meanwhile I knew of someone in the Long Island (NY) Pine Barrens who puts up videos of his hikes through his Pine Barrens. I suddenly decided that I should make videos like that in our Pine Barrens right here. So I started doing just that. In the past week my digital camera quit, so I can't take any more digital pictures or shoot any more video right now. But I hope to change that soon. Since I started shooting video for my Youtube account, I started really enjoying hiking. I've always enjoyed the Pine Barrens, but never walked as much as I do now. I can hike in the woods behind and next to our house. I can also drive 1.2 miles up the road and hike in a state Wildlife Management Area that's there. I can also drive 2.1 miles in the opposite direction to hike some dirt roads through the woods that lead into another Wildlife Management Area. Not to mention there are numerous state parks and forests all around the area. When I hike I pay attention to the trees, the shrubs, and the plants at ground level. I love lichens, mosses and club-mosses. In a recent hike along a dirt road I have found several Pitch Pines that are the largest I've ever seen. I have photos of them, but they are not online anywhere yet. My Yahoo Group, which I've had for many years, is still up. For a few weeks I've had a photo of some Pitch Pines on the main page. Here's the link, so you can see the photo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ghosttownsofsouthernnj And here is the link to my Youtube account. Some of my videos are actually slide shows. Trees figure prominently in most of them. If you aren't familiar with Youtube, you have to look at "videos", on the right side of the page. Those will be my videos. If you look at "favorites", those are other people's videos that I chose to be favorites of mine. http://www.youtube.com/MillerMeteor74 I will try to stay active here, since I love trees so much.
