Thanks to all for the guesses to date. I didn't inspect the tools that close. But looking at the photo, it looks like the ring might be adjustable. If that is the case, it is my guess, the tool is to hold a crucible.

Yesterday, while out roaming the burn area west of Stevenson Rd, I came upon the ruins of an old campsite. Among the debris, there was an old kerosene lantern, and these tools shown in the photo below. Does anyone have an idea the real purpose for these tools? Ron

I'm going with Bodine Field. As a Boy Scout back in the 50's, I tent camped there a good number of times on Troop outings and at Jamborees. It was a popular spot for Scouts from all over the area at the time. With building those log cabins by the Scouts and for the purpose the buildings were...

Low Ground Pressure Equipment: Could it be something like this? http://www.wilsonmarshequipment.com/low-ground-pressure-marsh-equipment

Here's the bid for the clearcut and a map of the area to be cut. I couldn't find who got the bid, though. https://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/forest/docs/Bass_River_State_Forest.pdf

I was looking at this too when you first posted. I thought it could be 'Staley'.

Looking at Google Maps and the Satellite view on NJPB Maps, that Lauries Rd is labelled on the road at Long Causeway from Baptist Rd up along the east side of Shoal Branch to where it goes through the Shreve Branch. (If you were heading to the south side of the Sykes Branch)

Scott; looking at Google, a great horned owl have been known to kill red-tailed hawks. Back in February, as I was exploring the Sykes Branch near Coyle Field (this was in the area where we crossed the Sykes Branch in our recent PBX Trip) I found three headless pheasants, two on the ground and...

Bob, Thanks for inviting me along. I had a very enjoyable day with all the PBXer's. It's nice to put a face to the members who post that I read over the years. It sure beats roaming the Pines alone taking pictures of plants that I can't identify. However, any day in the Pines is a good day...

Recently, my wife and I spent a good part of a week in Taos, New Mexico. We were home for just one week and then spent another week in Georgia visiting my youngest Son and Family. While in NM, I hiked one of the more popular trails in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains located in the most southern...

Al, Thanks. I believe you are correct. Here's the other side. A little blurry though

Here's some photos from my outings in the hot Pines this past month. Lycopodiella caroliniana (Carolina Club moss) On State Endangered List as S3. Thanks Bob, for the ID Utricularia purpurea (Purple Bladderworts) I liked the pattern Cedar Waxwing (first time sighting) Schizaea pursilla...

I noticed a while back it was sold. Sold for $150,000 on 6/28/2019

On 1940 map on Historic Aerials there was a building at the Circle between RT 206 N and RT 70 W. It shows a road coming in off of 206 before the Circle and back on to 70 down from the Circle. It also appears to be two entrances in front of the building right at the Circle. The structure...

Bob; is this what you are referring to? https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/you-destroyed-my-sand.3939/

For 1602, it is were the North Branch Forked River crosses the road where Al made a guess. For never being in this area, this is my final answer. For 1859, well it's not easy for me where you were standing. I just can't get the right perspective between the photo and map. That's why I didn't...

As for the 1859, I believe it's at the marker on the attached. I was looking at this one earlier on different years maps, and I notice this area was cut and not cut. https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.706223003918446&lng=-74.76175803344728&z=15&type=topo&gpx= For 1602, it is in the Forked...

The Cedars at Sykes. The title sounds like an age-restricted community, but no, it's cedar swamps along the Sykes Branch deep in the heart of the NJ Pine Barrens. With majestic tall straight Atlantic White Cedars, hummocks, water everywhere, sphagnum moss abound, squishy ground, and at this...

To confirm two things mentioned earlier. It sure looks like the state forest vehicle that Guy saw on Sooy Rd was posting new signs. I saw several new signs today. As for the collapse pipe in the road, I saw that last week too, but it's bigger now. Sometime very recent a road grader came down...

Scott; At the time of my hand surgery, my Family Doctor had referred me to a hand and wrist specialist at Reconstructive Orthopedics. I would have recommended him, but since then he retired. So, when I fractured my wrist March 2018, I just took next available hand and wrist specialist.. He's...
