I wonder what they'll do with the big house? This is cumberland county, after all. If it's accessible, it will get vandalized.

You guys already settled this, but... 1. If you do nothing, nothing bad will happen. 2. If you want, normally the overflow bottle is either a slide-in fit or retained by one bolt. Remove it and dump the contents out. Replace with antifreeze. Fluid is only drawn from the overflow tank as the...

When I was living in New Brunswick, the people I met from way up north thought of Mercer/Monmouth/Ocean counties as the deep south. I don't think Cumberland, where I grew up, even registered for them as part of the state.

Any info yet on 2020 "first day hikes"? Couldn't find anything published yet on the state's website.

Those trees in the background look like an area south of Glossy Spung Rd., near the Skit Branch?

Pretty interesting article. Lived within a few miles for the first 18 years of my life and never heard of this until today. https://aoghs.org/oil-almanac/steelman-realty-gas-oil-company/

Cannot imagine this holding up, at all, especially while dragging it in and out of the water. That's where most of your hull wear happens. I have a "Lifetime" brand cheapo that was a $149 closeout deal at Dick's and I would recommend it to anyone. My wife has a much more expensive one, that I...

You're probably right. I assumed they were borrow pits, dug to spare the expense of bringing in outside material for fill to be used for road repairs. Hadn't noticed them before today, but I also wasn't really looking.

Did a little exploring this morning in the area and came upon these weird ditches perpendicular to the road where it looks like dirt had been removed, maybe to repair the road surface? Located approximately here...

Does the bridge/culvert located here https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.763654988598496&lng=-74.78414039045799&z=20&type=nj2015&gpx= still exist?

If you can make it through the usual hole at Waverly ave (never knew it had a name) you can just bypass the fence... Is Old Atsion Road passable all the way to, and beyond, the Mullica? Is there a bridge over the river? I camp frequently at Goshen Pond and have tried a few different ways in...

If you check the Wharton SF facebook page, they sometimes have announcements for various guided hikes, mostly in the Atsion and Batsto area.

Finally toured the area yesterday. Looks like lots of firefighting equipment was up and down Sandy Causeway, as it's freshly bulldozed with track marks still visible. Doesn't look like any fire jumped across to the west or below Sleeper Branch. The lady at Angie's Diner said it came right up to...

This one from the NJFFS shows smoke west /southwest of the lake, in the woods toward Atco.

Found it, i think. https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.64350930757478&lng=-74.65813381508414&z=20&type=nj2015&gpx=

Has anyone driven through the area yet? Curious if the fire was on both sides of the old CNJ tracks and all the way out to Sandy Causeway. It's pretty wet and swampy in there...

Got coords for this? I can't picture this location.

The 1217 is likely just graffiti. There is a little bronze plaque on that stone, and last year the township spread some mulch around it. I work just down the street in Runnemede and I didn't know about it until maybe two years ago.

There is a very old tree near where I work, in Deptford township, along the south bank of the Timber Creek. It's called, locally at least, Clement's Oak, and is thought to be of similar age. Local tradition has it that when the first white settlers came to the area in the first half of the...

That red clay dirt they haul in sure packs down hard, but when it washboards it beats the hell out of your vehicle. The local sandy soil gives that nice cushion. I don't like what they did to Hampton Road, it's like some kind of suspension torture test.
