No ones probably heard of them but they got Talent. Very chill mellow song. There other songs aren't so =)

Darn he got me! I gathered all the poo I could muster up and made a heaping mass.... Nah It wasnt fabricated. But I did find a tree/bush way back that had multiple piles of the same poo in smaller quantities. My money is definitely on the coons now. Nice tree to climb/hide. It just makes more...

Hey left for Tyndalls about 8 am and stayed all day. Hiked to the very last island on the chain with is not a hop skip and jump. We hiked all the way to the end and even tried to traverse the marsh and hit the beach. A large creek stood in our way and we were already dog tired from all the muck...

Thanks guys that's basically most of the info Im aware of also. Rumor has it there was a large asparagus farm on the islands. In the 1930 map you can see what looks like farm land on all the islands that are now covered in dense trees. I still have yet to see a deer out there but there sure is...

Hey all been dormant for a while. Friend and I went for an adventure hike to the far reaches of Tyndall island today(This will be our 5th time there) got a late start and found ourselves wading through chest high water to get to the entrance of the large part of the island(s). Hiked through the...

Jerseyman: The reason I ask about Jessups Grove is because I metal detect as a hobby and since most all of the PB's are off limits always looking for places that hold history. IE Burlinton Island. Jessup's Grove was in Glassboro, There is a museum or library that had a poster for...

Hey Gench, So two public entities own the island are there signs posted of no trespassing? It would be a waste of land if no one could get out there and enjoy. I already has an itinerary for where to launch and what to do when I got there. As for the wild dogs, probably not true, could be...

Thank you Jerseyman. Very interesting. I hear there is good fishing in that "Lagoon" in the middle. Im wondering if any of the amusments were where the "lagoon" is now. I was under the assumption that the Lake in the middle was always there and the amusments were built around it.

Hey all it's been quite a while since I posted last. I just picked up the book The Pine Barrens, John Mcphee and read it cover to cover. Havn't been able to get into the sticks as much as I wanted to this year and reading that book sure got the inspiriation flowing. But on a side note Im asking...

Well as you all know I am an avid metal detectorist. I would be willing to conduct some small outtings to the area you speak of and bring some detectors for use to search around for a little history. I live only about 5 minutes from the area in the map. Just a thought. :)

No family in Pennsauken. Not a real common last name though... Strange.. Ill ask the parents.

Hey Guy, Seeing you picture I now know that I know who you are! I went to school with Jessica. Small world eh? Tell her I said hello. Jim Toogood. PS great finds.

Hey Piney. I believe on of the major routes the hessians took was over the bridge that gaps deptford and runnemede. If you notice what used to be the RCA field.... It is being dug up and all kinds of fill dirt and construction is going on..... I beleive that there is probably some kind of camp...
