    The Market & the Auctions

    "What does it Take" was recorded in 1969. Bob, you was just a kid at that time, I was a 24 year old man. This was a significant time period for me. I graduated from College in 1968, and in the Fall of that year I was in Basic Training at Fort Dix. (My first experience of the Pine Barrens) The...

    Harker Auction Co. (I just looked it up) 391 Medford Lake Rd, Tabernacle. I took a quick look at their Facebook page. It looks like an interesting place to stop. I'll hit Murphy's Mart too while in the area. I was out in the Pines right before Thanksgiving with a friend from Medford. He...

    There were three Marts, what they were called at the time, back in the 50's early 60's in my younger days. The Berlin Marts, shown above, the Pennsauken Mart near the intersection of Route 130 and Route 73, and the Merchantville Mart on Cuthbert Rd between Route 70 and Route 38. They were all...

    Hiking socks

    Hey now. I saw an old post where you went down, and even smiled at the camera. It would take me a while to find it, but Guy just might be able to go right to it. So Bob, what socks do you wear?

    Hiking socks

    For my Pine Barren activities I use by old Wigwam socks. For some reason, I have the tendency of going down over my boots at times. Away from the Pines, I wear Darn Tough socks for hiking and casual wear.

    Happenings in the Pines

    Bob. I think he is just resting in some brembels sunning himself. As for that material, it could be an old RR tie, a piece of concrete. or other. If walking down the tracks coming from Riders Switch, it's right on the right before the bridge over the Batsto R. Go take a look and report back...

    Happenings in the Pines

    When I first observed this living thing, he came out from the near bank of a stream (Batsto R) swimming on the surface of the water in the manner of a very small snake. He came to rest on a leaf laying on the surface of the water. It wasn't until I took a photo in zoom mode, that I noticed it...

    The next 10. One cranberry. I just like that picture. Very simple. It was off of Cherry Hill Rd. I found this frog in a big mess in a small swampy area. I guess he likes it. I caught this pickerel in my favorite fishing hole. You have to fish early in the season before the water gets...

    Happenings in the Pines

    I started roaming the Pines in 2009. Over the years I had accumulated many photos along the way. Recently, I weeded out many. Here are a few archive photos showing my past experiences of 'what's going on' in those woods. (Stay tune; I got another set of 10 coming soon.) An outlet from an...

    Theater?

    Bob. There are actually two old theaters. In the upper half of the map is the old Atco Drive-in Theater. It opened in 1955 and closed in 1989. The area with the large parking lot was the old Atco Muliplex Cinemas. It opened in 1991 and closed in 2009. The Atco Drive-in closed because it's...
