outdoors

For many of us, summer means camping under the stars, sitting around campfires, enjoying s'mores, and embracing the great outdoors. According to the website Dyrt, our state boasts one of the best camping locations in the country. Before diving into that, let's explore a few other renowned camping sites in our region that made their list...

As the summer months gradually come to a close, a lot of us are still in search of enjoyable and budget-friendly family activities or excursions.  Well, here in New Jersey, we're fortunate to possess some of the finest camping destinations in the northeastern area. You...

You don't have to quite batten down the hatches with the warm weather here and mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects and bugs settling in around here, but, there are some things you can do to stay protected from them.

If you have never been to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge than you are missing out on a truly beautiful National Refuge and it’s right here at the beautiful Jersey Shore.

After more than two centuries, downtown freehold is the central gathering place for western Monmouth county for a reason. BECAUSE. IT. ROCKS. Oh and by the way, the Freehold Summer Concert Series is back baby!

There is not much that will spark panic in a Mom more than spotting a tick. Do they not send shivers up your spine? They are gross, unsuspecting and can make us really sick. It's the first day of tick season by the way...April to mid-to-late October is when they are in full swing. Experts are predicting that the tic population in New Jersey to be off the charts this year. Well super.

It is that time of season and anyone with even one green thumb is thinking “gardening”. Great hobby, productive, safe outdoor activity, healthy etc. My wife April has extended our garden this year and it will be bigger than ever.

Pt. Pleasant Beach is such a fun, family spot.

I could not believe what I was seeing with my own eyes.

Mother Nature we need sunshine and fresh air and mild temps....so we can get outside and enjoy.

The "last great race" began this week in Alaska, the Iditarod dog sled race. The race is much h different this year because of the CVID 19 Pandemic. The race began in a more isolated area as opposed to busy downtown Anchorage and the race has been shortened. Spectators are allowed but are being advised to follow safety protocol. The Riders and dog teams are also being kept more at a distance this year to protect not only the participants but spectators as well.

It’s winter and we are still in the grips of a pandemic, board yet? I think we all need a distraction or we become bored and depressed. It’s been like a year since life changed and if you are practicing safe distancing and quarantine then you probably have become a lil stir crazy at home.
