The north and south sections are both correct - odd I know. I believe the area you are referring to is near the duck pond where the trail turns right off the dirt road through the woods then returns to the road. I noticed this during a recent hike on the trail. I am guessing the section through...

Glad to hear you've healed up! :dance: Be more careful next time you decide not to "stick" to the trail :mrgreen:

At the Lines in the Pines at Sweetwater Casino, I was told the plan is to open the mansion for tours possibly in the early fall. My mom said that she was told that back in the 1952 so we'll see - would be cool to see inside the other remaining mansion of the Barrens industrial age. :dance:

:rofl:

I'll be there :)

Would show it knows how to adapt to modern society - good for him! :mrgreen: Welcome to the site J_Ignacio!

Good luck with your paper! There are numerous books that deal with towns in the Pines and has been mentioned, this place is a great source of information to get you started :)

My German's a little rusty (took it in high school). I think it says "Here rests nicely" - it's inscribed "Hier ruhet der Lieb des Arnold Kleehaus...". I'm looking at the other stone which begins "Here rests in God Conrad Rorich, born 1723, died 16 April 1790, aged 67 years and 9 months..." The...

Cool pics! Looks like a nice place to explore. Thanks for sharing! :)

Interesting post! Thanks :) Mark, I took a closer look at the German etched stone. It appears the name is Arnold Kleehaus (it's etched Klee=haus); the word "gebornen" is also kinda squished in the one corner - born 12 April 1721. It is carved in fraktur writing. It's interesting to note his...

Look at life like the Pine Barrens - every rough road leads to one that's smooth.....you'll find a decent road eventually. Don't give up!

Takin my girl to the Flyers game in Philly on Valentines Day...I'm more of a NASCAR fan, but she loves hockey.

Area 39 doesn't exist :ninja: ;)

:mrgreen: especially the one - would look interesting with a candle in it

I agree - they are neat.

Nice thread Mark, great pics. Whenever I find a brick, I have to take a closer look and see if there's a marking of some kind. I have to go back and look at the bricks I found again because next to the SB Co should be a circle with a cross in it, but I don't recollect seeing that on them.

Last Saturday, I did a section of the Batona Trail from Batsto to Evans Bridge. Before the Bull Creek bridge, I noticed a number of bricks and brick fragments in the road way. One brick had the maker's mark visible - "SB Co". It appears this brick and possibly the others were made by the San...

My guess would be chimney caps. Usually made of terracota and added a decorative touch to buildings. There is one in Landis Valley Museum in Lancaster County, PA that is shaped like a human head. Very cool find! Edit: Yes, they are chimney caps (pots). Here is a site for modern ones and...

Of course, if you want to get scientific, there is always the Drake Equation.... N= [r* x fp x ne x fl x fi x fc] L where: N= number of possible civilizations to communicate with R* = is the rate at which stars capable of sustaining like are formed fp = the...

Godspeed Guy! Good luck to ya and have a speedy recovery.
