Frost Woods (Post Sandy)

One of my favorite places to take a walk is Frost Woods over in East Brunswick, it is also the site of Moth Night. It was quite a surprise to see the wind damage that was done, there was quite a bit of Widowmakers for you Arborists out there. While I didn't walk my usual route, it would be safe to assume that most of the place looked like this. Wonder what the clean up plan for this place is? I'll be checking out the two other places that National Moth Week uses in East Brunswick, Elk Pine Woods & Dallenback Lake within the week. So if you decide to visit, just make sure you use caution.

 

Post Hurricane Blog

So like many other East Coast Bloggers here is my Hurricane Sandy post. As one can see I survived, only lost a few roof shingles and a mid-sized tree. My house sits right at the edge of the flood plain for the South River. With the surge I actually had water up to my second front step, only 3 days with no power, cell or internet. I was horrible!  Anyway here are some pics of the aftermath.
