[Rockhounds] fulgurites

[Gary Brown]

Earl's pretty right on this....  NJ is kinda green "Garden State" and all
that.

There are a couple of places that I'd recommend, though.  

Pine Barrens

There are some "mountains" (i.e.. "Mt. Misery") in the Barrens that poke up
about the plane (as in around 10 to 20 feet!) and are good targets for
lightning strikes.  There have been a lot of forest fires down there, so
there are plenty of bare spots that might be good possibilities.


Sandy Hook

Sandy Hook has a number of high spots that should be good targets.
