It used to be so nice and quiet in the Pines, just the sounds of whipoorwills and tree frogs and the wind. There were none of those things.

When i used to go down to the Pines in the late 60s and 70s and 80s and even 90s, being NJ, everything was of course against the law, but i rarely saw anyone in there so no one ever bothered me, except once when i walked what i thought was deep into the woods and set up my tent - and a man came...

Me (right in the middle) wearing my Jersey Devil t shirt (made by my girlfriend). c 1980.

Those big old topo maps were what i used when hiking and backpacking in the Pines in the 60s and 70s. I coated them to make them water resistant, but that also made them even harder to fold up. That and an Esso or Mobilgas road map and a compass was all i had. Chatsworth, Woodmansie, Oswego...

It looks like a sap collecting bucket.

He stabbed the boy to death and they released him in less than 2 years!

Them sound like they might be fighting words in the KY hills! RednekF350 - The closest i cld get to that yankee was a kid in my elementary school class who showed me a framed letter on his wall purportedly written by his great great grandfather or something to Lincoln suggesting he grow a...

Wow - just read that. Bad things happen when u least expect it.

Lake Oswego, NJPB, Oct 1990

Huckleberry Island in the Long Island Sound off the coast of New Rochelle. July 1991.

I used my ik all over - in rivers, lakes, bays, and even out into the ocean off the coast. My last one that i had for a long time was the Sea Eagle Explorer. It was very strong, made of the same material they use for inflatable power boats. I have a photo of it at Lake Oswego in the PB on here...

I used to love canoing, and kayaking in my ik (inflatable kayak), in the Pine Barrens. I miss that. It's been a long time. I even went in the winter, breaking through the ice.

That brings up this old thread: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/searching-for-a-cave-in-the-pines.8965/page-2

They no longer recognize that 136 Sahara desert temp as proven legit, and i believe they r also no longer recognizing the 134 Death Valley - yes, Badwater salt flats - temp as legit - so when i was there in that photo above it was the hottest confirmed day on earth (tho I'm told it got even...

Looks like a good spot to film the final scene of a great classic silent movie...

Not sure. Not sure i was even really snakebit. I had been camping in and around Death Valley in July 1995. temp up to 130 one day on the salt flats which was just 4 degrees less than the hottest authenticated temp ever recorded on earth at the same place (did it again there this year!). That...

Photo of a snake i took in the NJPB by Simm Place on 22 Sep 1971. What kind is it?

You have rattlesnakes. I've seen bigger ones in NY-NJ than I have in Arizona. I almost stepped on a giant one up in Near Mtn State Park. I got snake bit near Death Valley though.

Wow! I just walked by this fellow ten minutes ago, 2,500 miles away but u have them too...
