    john mcphees, the pine barrens

    Amazon used to have my review on top but they seem to have totally deleted it now, perhaps because of my allusions to illegal activities. Idindonuffin!

    Kayaking on the Wading Again

    Yeah that was really good, the last time I've been back east. I got caught right smack in the middle of Hurricane Sandy! Are the fire towers still there? If they are they must be all locked down. Years before I remember climbing up a fire tower in the Catskills mountains (Rip Van Winkle...

    Kayaking on the Wading Today

    "kayaking as that's my hobby" Me too, or it was when i lived back east, canoeing (my favorite), sea kayaking. Since i lived in an apartment in Manhattan i had inflatable kayaks. I don't remember ever seeing any police in the barrens in the old days. I do remember once driving down to the PB...

    Kayaking on the Wading Again

    Swiping cranberries 1972 - just a handful! That's what i was doing another time when the cropduster biplane came by and strafed me with bug spray. After that I quit the cranberry racket.

    Kayaking on the Wading Again

    I did post this one before, but it's interesting: Train wreck on Jersey Central RR tracks near Carranza Memorial Sep 1971. There's more, plus even more that i haven't scanned, mostly color slides, plus even more that have disappeared over the years.

    Fish Hook In Leg

    Ouch is right. Would they really make u wait 2 hours for something like that? " they did not have the tools to remove it" Don't even ambulances and rescue crews and police carry tools to rescue people from car accidents and the like, tools to saw or cut through things?

    Kayaking on the Wading Again

    " I did not see much garbage/debris" I used to paddle those PB rivers in either a rental canoe or my own inflatable kayak. I don't recall ever seeing any garbage on the rivers. John McPhee said the tea colored water was all drinkable, but i don't think i ever did it, maybe i did once or twice...

    john mcphees, the pine barrens

    There didn't seem to be much (any) interest (except for my rare Friendship photo - which reminds me I was supposed to call back that lady at that Jersey college about it) so i took down a bunch of them, plus i don't know that i wanted to post them all anyway, plus i probably posted some of them...

    john mcphees, the pine barrens

    I never knew that. It wasn't so marked on the maps I had (geo. survey map and Esso or Mobilgas free road map). It was my favorite entry to the PB. GW Bridge > NJ Tpk > Freeway > Rt 72 west The little bug ran great on those sandy roads.
