Still early on in this research, but reading Ghost Towns and Other Quirky Places, I saw a quick blurb about Samuel Richards buying a saw mill and a grist mill in White CLay Creek in Delaware. This is right around the corner from where I live now, so I had to follow it. With some help from the...

Hopefully, I am about to get my hands on a copy of this book! I'm also looking into the legality of transcribing just the diary and journal entries (not any of the Bisbee's original work, as that's definitely copyright protected) into something that can be shared and enjoyed. Wish me luck!

Hello! I hope this message finds you well! Boyd pointed me in your direction for a copy of the Courier-Post article mentioned in this thread. Is there any chance you have it and can share it with me? Thanks, -Joe

Hi! Is there any chance I could get a copy of this article as well?

Is this an area that sees ATV traffic? Sounds to like like someone aims to pop some tires.

Heheh I think the one treatment that most of us are going to wind up using is Worktillyerdeadatril.

I didn't hear that it was on Pinelands restricted, but I heard there was an uproar due to the amount of truck traffic that barrels down that road. This was exacerbated by the fact that they had a perfect alternative location out on 206. I could have sworn there was a sod farm at that...

I am too. The biggest thing was the new school on Carranza. As my friend said, it looked like a castle in the middle of a sod farm.

Thanks, gipsie! I've sent you an email :)

Responded, Uncle Greg :)

Well, we took our trip up today and, despite the rain, had a very nice time. We met up with an old friend of mine from Tabernacle at Ironstone Village and after a great time catching up, we went into Tabernacle to check out the old neighborhood. It was great to see how little the area had...

Yeah, we're looking at about a 5x increase of property taxes, but that will be more than offset by the fact that we won't have to pay for a private school. If you're wondering what the benefit is to those expensive schools, compare your graduation and college entry rates to those in Delaware :)

I had no idea other states did that. Here in DE, they sacrifice good schools for paving every inch of exposed ground...

Thanks, all! We're actually driving up on Saturday to poke around and so I can introduce the family to the area. I've shown my wife, Meg, some pics of the area and she started talking about what we need to do to sell this place. Something tells me she may be on board!

My father used to work at Clayton sand in Woodmansie. In fact, one of our favorite campsites was just north of this "lake" off a small sand road. It's nice to see that area again, thanks for posting it!

My name is Joe Madjeski, and I grew lived in Tabernacle from 1980 to 1987. I loved growing up in the Pines area, and the beauty, silence, and sugar sand remain some of my best memories to this day. My dad used to take me out exploring the Barrens just about every weekend, an I remember places...
