Old Half Way

[TeeGate]

All,

If you travel to Old Half Way (Hidden Lakes) in the future, you should check out the western side of the eastern lake for a strange sight.

Below is a photo from the 70's of the same location but looking the opposite way.. I was surprised to notice that the area where my vehicle is located is now grown over to the point where a vehicle can't get there. I never expected to see that when I searched out this photo and looked at it.

You may also want to visit the western lake on a sunny day because it really looks nice, except for a few scattered damaged cars.

You must stop using your GPS unit while driving through the woods, Guy! :wink: Maybe that's why the government is going to shut down the GPS satellite.

Seriously though, Hidden Lakes/Old Halfway sounds like a good place. Maybe I'll check it out someday if I can find it.

Old Half Way was really cool. I can see why it was such a party spot.

Yes Jeff it is an interesting place. I visited there many times.

Guy,
I took almost that very same shot of that car in the lake last week when I was there. When I was there yesterday there was a new wreck at the east lake that was not there last week. Looks like someone had a lot of fun with it.

Ben,

Back in the day it was a major party place. If you went there on a Friday or Saturday night or any night in the summer, it would not be unusual to find 40 or 50 people there. I camped and partied there many times. I can't believe I used to take my Dad's '70 Olds 98 out there. Maybe one of these days I should tell him. :mrgreen:

Steve---Who ashamedly admits to depositing many a beer bottle there in those days but finds and carries them out now. (not the same ones. :wink: )

Guy,

I'm going to guess that you knew about this but I never knew there was a pond near the east lake. I saw it on my topo and found it yesterday.

Behr,

I think Guy knows. We saw it on the topo map when we were there on Saturday and skipped it since there supposedly wasn't much there.

I should start a pictoral essay on all of the burnt/stolen cars in the Pine Barrens.

Just like you I did not know that until I saw it on Terraserver.com. I just checked my records and I looked for it on December 15th of last year and found it. I was with Ed who is a member on this site and we just walked to it and quickly left. I mentioned to Ben on Saturday when we were there about it, but we did not go to it. The next time I am there I will photograph it for my collection. I will be going there soon to find a marker that I believe to be near the eastern lake. It was a little out of our way for Ben and I to search it out Saturday.

You should start a gallery that everyone can upload to. I will add this one in a larger size. Even the tow truck was stuck.
