Bike ride to Pleasant Mills - a set on Flickr, originally uploaded by martin_kelley.
Francis and I had a nice 22 mi. bike ride on Saturday. Lots of back roads through blueberry fields, and a good off-road jaunt past carnivorous plants, orchid-filled bogs and mosquitoes galore. Full set of Flickr pictures here. (Julie & Theo were busy hanging out with the bishop instead),

I visited Woodstown NJ this morning for a client visit and brought my camera. Salem County is full of rolling hills and farms stretching to the horizion and the back roads always remind me of Lancaster County PA. Locations available via map.
A few days ago my two-year old Theo and I took a meandering bike trip that brought us to the charmingly-named Piney Hollow Road (alas, not quite as rustic as it sounds). We stopped on the unassuming bridge over the Great Egg Harbor River and I looked for a trail into the woods. We found one about a hundred feet north of the river, hiked in another hundred feet and picnicked along the river. When I got back home I started Googling around and discovered that our sand trail was the Blue Anchor Fireline Road and that we were on one of the main paths in to the famed Blue Hole.
