Today, Zeb's Bridge is located where it crosses the Davenport Branch on RT 530, Pinewald Keswick Rd,. I have no history on it, though.

If I’m correct, that man in the plaid shirt is Pat Buttram, Gene Autry’s sidekick. He was character actor and comic. Gene Autry had his own TV show back in the early 1950’s that ran for about 5 years. I was between 5 and 10 years old at the time.

. Bob. Here's a 1950 tune by Gene that will keep hoppin'. For extra credit, who is the cowboy in the plaid shirt right at the start of the video. https://www.geneautry.com/geneautry/motionpictures/videos/peter-cottontail-1951.php

"Car 54, Where are you." I found this car in Noember 2013 in Greenwood Forest WMA, just south of Cooks Rd, before it crosses the Oswego River. Since then, it has been renoved.

I stopped in at Lucille's twice in the past three weeks. Either breakfast or a bowl of chilli with a buttered roll for a good cheap lunch. I like the ambience.

Maybe used for animal control.

Plus you will be wearing rubber knee-high boots, or hip boots. Not $250 hiking shoes where you want to stay on roads not to get them dirty.

I was in retirement when I started roaming the Pines back in 2008; only during the weekdays at least once a week between 9AM and 3PM. Even up today, I never saw an illegal off-road vehicle of any kind, except once when I stayed until 4PM. (The fishing was good at day in an old cranberry bog.)...

Well; it's not this Ron. I don't recognize the area.

A thought on Mounds. https://www.dnr.wa.gov/publications/amp_mima_mounds_mistery.pdf

. Bob, your getting too geologicalific for me. But, I did find this. 'The origin of the mounds in all cases appears to be erosional and/or depositional. Those on level terrain are formed simply by deposition of “A” soil horizon material in clumps of bushes which, under desert conditions, grow...

They are called prairie mounds, pimple mounds, or mina mounds. Thet are low naturally occurring hillocks, randomly distributed over level terrain. You will find more detail on these mounds on the link below. https://archeology.uark.edu/features/prairie-mounds/

Slight change to its location. The speedway was in the southeast corner what is now the Manahawkin Commons, near the Walmart. The locals called it the Manahawkin Speedway. It was a 1/2 mile dirt oval built in a gravel pit. It opened on 4/23/1950, but closed shortly in 1951.
