Thanks to everyone involved!

Phaedra Trethan used to work for the Courier-Post and then Inquirer so she is (or was) a local.

Another article. How ghastly. My son has been working at Pinelands Adventures this summer so I've been making turns at that intersection a lot recently. Sometimes I do the sprint across 206 from Atsion onto Quaker Bridge and go for a run after dropping him off in the morning. There are some...

I often have the lidar up when walking the woods to help me find old trails and cellar holes. It’s great.

Great idea!

Wow, yeah, the side-by-side screenshots against the 1930s aerial is fascinating (from Boydsmaps, of course). That entire inlet was dredged out of farmland.

I found this, I guess anyone who had signed up for this year's Trek Camp is probably out of luck.

One of my sons has done scout programs there. For the last few summers they've had a pretty amazing Trek Camp. From their description: They're still listing a camp for August of this year. I wonder if they're still going to be able to use Pine Tree facilities after the sale?

Thanks for sharing. I’ve studied the blown-up version in the Batsto Visitor’s Center. I know a couple of spots where a road would pass by one of these lakes and occasionally look over to imagine what the lake would look like.

I'm sure someone with more knowledge than I will chime in, but it's my understanding that the upper reaches of the Mullica was named Atsion in the early days. If you take the Toms' Pond trail west out of Batsto you'll climb over the berms of the old lake. A popular side trail takes you to the...

There’s a plaque at the fire fire memorial at Bass River, by the old CCC camp. Could it be this?

I think the last time I was there was summer.

Congratulations!

Nice write up. I pass that area frequently but haven’t explored. It always bothers me going south on 73 when I pass the sign telling motorists they are entering the Great Egg Harbor River watershed. I always yell out “This is the Mullica!”
