My guess to Post #892. It's the old Thompson-Wright property which owned the Birches Cranberry Company, A chance that this may be a exact spot. https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.88666678207866&lng=-74.65466279190062&z=16&type=hybrid&gpx=

There's a conduit that channels water under 206, not much more than 30 yards south of Cherry Hill Rd.

My wife just got gas at COSTCO this morning at $3.59. Back on 10/24 it was $3.34. So. it has gome up in the past 2 weeks. Get a membership. As a bonus, you can buy a hot dog and soda for $1.50.

Great day in the Pines, with great company, and great tailgate. Everything was great. even Bob. Fire is Good. Looks like some serious talk going on. 'When are we going to get to the tailgate'. 4 guys in the Pines I have to show my photo of the of Pine Barren Gentian. The fire was good...

Ed. If you are talking about the plates with the blue background, they ran from 1979 to 1992. There's a list of them all. https://njplates.moini.net/1909.html

My guess is a 1942 Ford Sedan based on the grille. Black license plates went from 1941 to 1944, then 1949, 51, 52 and 53.

Here's my fishing story. About five years ago while fiahing in Oantario Canada, up above Minnesota, I got a fish hook stuck in the area of my thumb as I was taking off a small northen pike by a small double treble hook hardbait. Not too often do I catch a fish by the forward hook. The way I...

Boyd; it appears you are correct. At first I thought this was the spot, just a little south of your marker. The river does go thru Turkey Swamp WMA. https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=40.20334080560246&lng=-74.34429350061247&z=20&type=hybrid&gpx=

It looks like a 1965-66 Ford. Based on the grill.

I've been down that road that leads to the bog with water, a good number of times, but not in recent years. There's always been trash at the foot of the road, and big stuff too. That should be a well-known dumping ground.

Several years back, while looking over a Topo Map of an area I was planning to explore, I noticed a double dash line road that scaled down to a single dash line path just short of a stream. At that point, you would need knee-high rubber boots to get across. The remnant of the bridge is now...

Bob, you are correct.

Bob, are you talking about my last photo or Jon's. If mine; No. But I was sure you would know my last one, You walking over it many times, unless I got the wrong stream for that bridge.. This first photo below is on the Skit up stream from Carranza Rd. And here's one more. This one is on...

While exploring the Pines for the past 12 years, I have discovered many handmade bridges, or remnants of, that takes you across streams, tributaries, canals, and in swamps. In almost all cases, bushwhacking was required to find them. Here's 5 bridges that cross streams that are labeled on NJPB...

It's states in the article, you will need a permit to go 'off-road' in the pinelands. What do they define as 'off road'? So. they are going to close off some roads, and you would need a permit to drive the other open sandy roads? I travel in the pines using a 4-door Honda Accord. I can...

Bob: I'm glad you had the interest to further look into early history of New England. Back in the 1950's when I was a young boy, my parents had close friends living in Chatley MA. They lived in an old farmhouse with wrap around from porch with a goat barn in back. It had the New England style...

Bob: Well, it was 387 years ago, and only 15 years after the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth. Reading about the Pilgrims, yes, it wasn't easy. And the Pilgrims had animals onboard. However, Ralph made it over 1 day quicker than the Pilgrims. Not too much improvement over 15 years. Plus, you are...

Thanks.

He and his wife Alice, along with 3 children, one being a Ralph that I follow in the family tree, left England on the ship 'James" on 7/13/1635. They arrived in Boston on 9/16/1635. They settled in Andover, in the Province of Massachusetts Bay.

My Great Grandfather (X 9), Ralph Farnham, arrived in Boston in 1635. Shortly after, the family surname got changed to Farnum. Three generations later some Farnum families were some of the first pioneering settlers in what is now known the State of Maine. At the 6th generation, one child at...
