    Atsion Mansion Photos

    Welcome to the site Nick! I don't have any photos, but there are some old threads that may interest you (if you haven't already found them). Here's a long one. There were lots of pictures, but almost none of them will display now. They were part of the forum's gallery section and, unfortunately...

    Music for the day

    Well, according to his profile, @M1 Abrams was 11 years old on that August day in 1969. That was the summer before my junior year in college and I had a job. But several friends were at Woodstock and returned with lots of stories. I remember going to the Woodstock movie when it was released in...

    Atco Dragway’s Closure Has Drawn More Interest In Woodland Roadway Known For Illegal Street Racing, Says Resident In Asking For Enforcement

    Wow... I wonder who this guy is?.... Miller’s account is similar to one posted on forums.njpinebarrens.com, from 2015, in which an individual describes returning from his granddaughter’s dance recital in New York. “I don't think I saw another car on Pasadena Road, the whole way from Whiting...

    Pine Barren History Shorts

    I have read that before, perhaps in another thread here? Just had a quick look at some of my Pine Barrens Books and the only thing related that I saw was in Barbara Solem-Stull's Ghost Towns book. It says the monument was built "near" the site of the plane crash. It also said his body was taken...

    Apparently that is a reference to Queen Marie of Romaina? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_of_Romania And the Queen Marie Special was a train?

    Unfortunately, this thread has now crossed the line between Pinelands-related issues and general politics, so I am closing it.

    Tornado Watch

    I have seen them blow a couple times, pretty scary. Years ago, I remember driving through Mount Laurel on Rt 73 near the NJ Turnpike entrance in a storm with lightning and hail pounding down. All of a sudden, a transformer blew on a pole with a shower of sparks, apparently it was hit by...

    Tornado Watch

    Checked the app and it immediately showed I was part of an outage for 350 people, estimated repair at 11:00 AM. While I was out, got an alert at 9:30 saying power was restored. Giving credit where it's due, this was handled very smoothly by Atlantic City Electric and their new app is a big...

    Tornado Watch

    Storm didn't seem too bad here, but when I went out this morning a small tree had snapped off and only missed my car by about two feet when it fell. Very strange, oak tree that was only about 20 feet tall and under a bigger oak that had no damage at all. No signs of high winds or downed branches...

    Installed the Linux software on the Ulefone Armor X7 Pro and setup another 256gb SD card for it. Used it as a server for my iPad this morning. Battery was fully charged at the start and it dropped to 13% after 8 hours continuous use with the GPS on and screen at full brightness. It has a...

    NJ Silica Sand Co

    Those are very cool. I tried to roughly match them up to the NJGIN aerials from the 1930's (exact dates of that imagery rather vague). The c1949 USGS topo is probably the best map reference. Here are the first 3 images, the others are pretty similar in terms of view...
