light rain happening in Forked River right now!

This has been on the Atlas Obscura website for NJ for a few years. Whenever we had low water levels the road is exposed but not the stone work.https://www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do/new-jersey/places?page=8

Walked from Coal Road to Batsto along the Batona trail last weekend. I don't have a picture. But this area was so full of water from beaver activity. We had to walk across boards that were floating along the edge of a road. I think this is the place. As soon as we crossed the boards there were...

Cedar Bridge? definitely not Bass River or Apple Pie Hill. The trees look to close.

Kirby’s Mill

Here is a picture and short video of the train/narrow gauge from the sawmill at Double Trouble at the Country living fair. It was warm and super crowded. The steam tractor and portable saw mill were there and so was the steam powered boat cruising around the lake. video link...

Sunday October 20, 10am-4pm For anybody interested in engines and old mechanical things. This is a great place to see old hit and miss motors and antique equipment. In the past, they have run the Batsto sawmill and had a steam tractor run a belt driven portable sawmill and cut shingles. One of...

Fired up the old jeep for the first time after the water pump started leaking about six months ago. Drove down the Tuckerton Railroad to the south branch of the Forked River and to my amazement. The pipes that have been in the water are no longer there, they have been dragged out and are off to...

Looks like the back stop at the old Pine Crest Gun Club

Great Picture Bob. I am not an insect or a plant person. However it seemed so weird to see a grasshopper on a plant normally found near a salt marsh. I understand phagmites can grow in other places too. I was just trying to assimilate them being from two different ecosystems. I would have never...

That is pretty cool!! It made me think of the UFO Detector post https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/ufo-detector.13593/#post-165066

Went to the Pic to get appetizers. There was a NJFFS Mobile Command center set up on the lot next to the Whitehorse Inn in Chatsworth. It was very smokey driving on 532 from Ringler Ave to just pass Whitehorse Rd. There was a ton of trucks parked at the Bordentown gun club. This was around 6:30...

Not sure how much rain we got in Lacey. But this morning when I went to put out the garbage . I could barely move the cans. When I spilled them over I was surprised by how much water came out. Today we had a hard blowing west wind all day. I was working on a boat and the wind was moving the...

Launched the kayaks into Bamber lake to explore the Chamberlin Branch. I thought Bob had posted a long time ago some pictures of old structures along the river. (I may be wrong about this). The water was so clear and I was surprised at how deep the water was. It was only sandy or rocky like the...

On the way home yesterday from Pine Belt Sportsman Club in Shamong. I noticed the sun was setting as we neared Savoy Blvd. I brought my son up to the train bridge on Rt 72 to enjoy a nice sunset as it faces west. After getting some nice pics, a bunch of construction vehicles appeared. I think...

My son looked it up and said it was a product before Sprite and was phased out in the sixties. I guess it has been there for years?

Yes, it was from a while ago. I had a whole bunch of locations saved over the years, but........... Did not have it saved correctly when you updated recently. Are 103 locations still available on a map?

IIRC, it was on a topo style map with a darker background. The words may have been in purple? It was not on a satellite image.

Anyone remember this stuff?

Kayaked from Hawkins Bridge to Godfrey. Water levels were only down about 8 inches. I got past the usual low spot after Hawkins bridge and the rest of the trip was great. There was a lot of flow coming from Hospitality Run/Little Hawkin branch when we went past. Just a few people on the river...
