Nice research Don. This is the tavern I was referring to several posts ago. It's funny, my research partner Willy and I were discussing the possibility of variations in the spelling of Kline as your post came through. I don't know if there is any relation, but a Edward Cline applied for...

Nice connections Spungman! I'll do some homework.

Don, To contribute to our search for a date of Atsion's acquisition of the West's Mill tract, I offer this advertisement from November 10, 1763... Collection: The Pennsylvania Gazette Publication: The Pennsylvania Gazette Date: November 10, 1763 Title: To be SOLD or LETT, To be SOLD or LETT...

Thank you Spungman. I always find those surveys very cool albeit frustrating to read. One would think that on a document as important as a survey, more care would be taken to make it more legible. I agree that when using historic maps for research, the information you glean from them should...

There is no way that I could settle for that. I will drag my canoe the 1,170 feet if necessary. In fact, I already have plans to do just that.

I noticed that sign cut down on back on August 12th. This road should be opened. It is a river access road that leads to a much needed canoe launch.

Yes they do keep reusing the photos of Jemima Mount and Quarter Mile insinuating that it is occurring like that everywhere. And again they are referring to all opposition as the "ORV community". I have a question for everyone. I understand that both Jemima Mount and Quarter Mile has been...

This is the earliest map I have found that shows the Goose Ponds, later Rockwood... 1860 Kitchell - Hopkins State map

Spungman, speculation often times lead to discovery when those leads are followed up on. I was unaware of any tavern at that location, and I am interested in learning more about it. It is an intriguing idea - a tavern located midway between the Shinn homestead and the Mill site; on a road that...

Don, I took your advice from the Locks Bridge thread and used the advantage of the low water level to investigate around the lock on Labor Day. I agree that this road should be open. Another road that should be opened is the access road just above this one, the one that leads to the head of...

A good idea Don.

FYI, The following is a comment that was attached to the Horner post. It illustrates their desperation and the length some of the more extreme members suggest they go.

I am bothered it also. I think we can do a better job advertising the fact that many other interest groups oppose this plan - many of whom resemble the supporters.

It appears that supporters of the M.A.P. are concerned about how things are progressing and are trying to rally supporters to attend the upcoming town council meetings. The following is a post that came across my Facebook feed.

Burlington County Times article about the town resolutions. http://m.burlingtoncountytimes.com/news/local/burlington-county-towns-oppose-dep-off-road-plan/article_2fb3f3bd-5018-5ec2-a63e-f6c731dc4e5d.html?mode=jqm

The road with the barriers on it goes to the Cutts Cranberry bogs, and has been gated for a long time. It does appear, according to the MAP, that they have closed the old Oswego/Munion field road, and the Calico/Warren Grove Road.

The road is named for Andrew Jackson Rider. Rider owned the Hampton Cranberry Park in partnership with Charles W. Wilkerson, dating back to around 1880. This road lead from the bog to the railroad where there was a station where cranberries were loaded and labor transported. Rider was a...

The PPA is using this as an example as to why they need to close certain trails, they are calling them "vernal pools" https://www.facebook.com/Pinelands/posts/10153452787175731:0 Just to be clear, the above photo is NOT a vernal pool. A vernal pool is essentially a spung - a land feature...

"I'm with GSB here, has there been any sightings of postings anywhere else? on the "Atco" side of 206? in Lebanon? Bass River? I plan on taking a long ride this weekend to some areas I have not been lately and reporting back, just wondering if anyone else has seen anything anywhere else? " On...

Well Said Ben! I wonder how Al got to all those locations to take those beautiful photos. I understand that the ORV damage is a real problem that needs to be rectified, I'm just not sure that limiting access to those folks who's presence is actually a positive influence on our beloved Pines is...
