There are derailed cars on both sides of the track in the "NJPB 22Sep1971 NJ Central RR" photo too, but they are hard to see. The track was near the Carranza Memorial. The track was a long straightaway so I don't know how they got derailed or what happened. There was a discussion of it on...

I've got some more pictures stashed away on 35mm slides and print film that have yet to be scanned.

And, finally, the 1969 NY Times Travel Section article that made me want to go down to see the Pines in the first place - "Wild and Windswept Plains that only the Jersey "Pineys" know" -

Thanks, Woodjin. Here are some more.

That was the VW Sun Roof. I never had a sun roof Beetle but I had a few plain Beetles, starting with a '57, and my last one - the one with 300K - was a Super Beetle. Another good fresh air device was the vent window that cars used to have but have no more. But I had to put vent window locks on...

The so-called heater in those things was their very worst feature. You still see Beetles in mint condition out here in Arizona where there is virtually no rust. I spent a lot of ours underneath them adjusting the valve tappets and so forth, but I loved them. They never let me down. They were...

Love the Movietone News and the Movietone News announcers. They still had them in the movies when I was a kid - 26 cents childrens admission - but sneaking in the exit door was even cheaper - plus I'd get proudly escorted out of the theater by my own personal uniformed valet - that is to say...

"will soon be starting the sawmill up again" Do they still run the watermill-powered sawmill at Batsto? They used to run it on holidays.

Why does the moon look that ochre color in photographs but not to the eye?

Hi, Guy. I could upload the lot of them right here if you like so they'd all be in one place.

Nice!!! And just last night I camped out under a full moon - and watched it rise!

I was trying out my new propane lantern in the camping photo. I think that may have been the only time I ever used it. I still have the tarp and the blue sack, but the Guernsey sweater is gone. I'm sure you people are very interested in the history of my tarps and sweaters. VW Beetles were...

I posted a bunch of them last year, and I just found a few more that I don't think I posted back then, though I'm not sure which is which, so maybe I posted one or two of these before, and maybe I didn't, and I probably have a few more that I haven't. Does that make sense? Note my extremely...

Yeah, Boyd, I'm talking about ticks that are all dug in. They're easy to pull off if you find them early.

Have you been successful with the modern method? Whenever I've tried it (happily not recently) I've just broken off the tick's head that's inside my body and then it festers, probably the completely worst outcome of all. There was tick-carried diseases before Lyme too. I wonder what kind of...
