    Google Earth Panoramio Layer Gone!

    Yeah, the new photos layer sucks. I've started uploading some of my pictures but they make it a pain to geotag them if there isn't already a designated place name on the map. https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113454919773958072840/photos/@39.7717811,-74.743581,11.05z/data=!4m3!8m2!3m1!1e1...

    Key's Sandwash--Menantico Ponds?

    No, I haven't been to Fries Mill. I don't know where to enter, but I have heard there's a really decrepit old wooden bridge back there over the creek. Is it the nicely maintained paved road that heads west off port cumberland, about half way between 49 and the tracks? 39°20'59.60"N...

    Key's Sandwash--Menantico Ponds?

    The guy who chased me lived on the southeast corner of the rail crossing on Port Elizabeth- Cumberland road. If you walk east along the tracks past the wye there's some cool old train cars back there, all pretty well overgrown. Last time i visited, the branch of the track heading south was full...

    Key's Sandwash--Menantico Ponds?

    There's actually a private road, clearly visible on satellite, that begins behind a house on Barth Rd and goes to the south side of the pond, but I assume you have to know the owner, and I don't. I'm getting to old to be dodging cops, so I guess swimming there is just no longer a possibility. I...

    Key's Sandwash--Menantico Ponds?

    Yes, I meant the one with the double chimneys. Last time I was back at Loon Pond was August 2016, me and a friend went for a quick swim. A state cop in an unmarked sedan stopped us on the long road back to the gate by Rt. 55. We were carrying wet towels so there was no denying we had been...

    Google Earth Panoramio Layer Gone!

    Panoramio was closed to new posting a while ago, but the photos on it disappeared from Google Earth in the past week or less. At least that's how it was from my end! That program gave me endless hours of entertainment on nasty winter days.

    Google Earth Panoramio Layer Gone!

    I used to spend hours at a time scouring Google Earth's geotagged photos. In the past few days it seems they ended the service and apparently most of them are now lost forever, unless the poster manually transferred them to the newer, inferior Google Map Photos. What a shame, such a great...

    Most Remote Area in the Pines

    To me, remote by Jersey standards means anywhere you can't hear traffic and can't see any manmade structures. I believe the area around Lower Forge and to the NE to be the most remote. Especially in winter time when no paddlers are coming down the Batsto. No cell reception for miles around, at...

    Parvin

    New member here, but not new to South Jersey. Have lived here since 1990, grew up and went to school in Vineland, now living closer to Philadelphia, but still spend plenty of time in the woods. I can say Parvin is a great place to camp for the most part-- once in a while you'll have a group...

    Key's Sandwash--Menantico Ponds?

    Is the shell of the old stone house above the bluffs still standing? Haven't been back there in years, and it looks like they moved the access road. Funny, it never occurred to me that "sandwash" wasn't a universally understood term. I guess it's actually quite the opposite-- a Cumberland...
