Everything is a huge hassle in NYC and NJ. The trick I used to do when living in NYC was go up to the nice motor vehicle bureau in Peekskill, north of the city, to deal with the MVB there instead of the nightmare places with a line around the block in the city. I went north of the city on my...

Carranza Memorial, 1973

Yes, the Jersey D is my friend - but I forgot, there is one thing in the Barrens that scares me more than the bipeds that proliferate on your planet, and that is...ticks!

I am happy that in my time haunting those wonderful woods - the late 1960's through the mid 1990's - hardly anyone even knew about them and I could drive and hike and backpack and canoe/kayak without seeing a single person all day long. I don't recall ever seeing a police officer or other...

We did? I forgot. Duh. Remember that "Watch the skies!" line? It's taking on new significance! Next they'll start landing and one will land in a ditch and this old scientist with a hair-do like Albert Einstein will say, "I'm sure they have come in peace" as he walks down to greet them while...

I have a photo somewhat similar to that, except there's a helicopter between the vehicle and the helicopter rotor. They were lowering a big SUV into some wild river in CA. As for tin foil hats, mine is on permanently if "wearing a tin foil hat" means not believing whatever they're telling us...

"top secret black project ..." Lit up with all the regulation FAA lights.

"when I was working at the Opera Company..." I worked for the opera co. too, in AZ.

Your maps are incredible and I don't even know how to use a tiny fraction of their aspects. If I still lived back east and was still exploring the Barrens I'd use them all the time and learn how to use them. They sure beat the geo.survey maps and a compass I used to use. I coated my survey...

I found out. It's the Phoenix Pinelands Sand Co.

It was 16 Oct 2000. See the tow receipt above. It was an old sign. Maybe Exxon or Mobilgas. I don't remember, just that it was a gas station sign was visible from a long way off to the north. I'm looking at Google Earth historical images. They have 1985 and 2002. Maybe I came out (and went back...

Oh that wldnt hv been mine. I wasn't by 72 (my usual entry point to the Pines). I vaguely remember a gas station sign sticking out that I could see from far off, maybe Esso.

Where do u see an abandoned gas station, that little mark in the fork between 539 and 610? Which waypoints are u referring to? I still have all my waypoints saved on Garmin Mapsource, all 7 hundred and something of them, including some in the NJPB, including the one that's the subject of this...

Thanks, Boyd. I'll mess with it again a little later. Your maps are so awesome. I wish I had them back when I used to prowl those "wild and windswept woods". I just had geological survey maps and a compass. PS Good thing those "Flying Saucer" bad guys in Alaska didn't have maps like that!
