I think that hill was a spoil pile consisting of material generated from the construction of bogs that existed as early as 1870, based on the Boyd's Vermeule maps. The location is central to 3 bogs and strangely, it almost perfectly elliptical. That tells me that man may have had had something...

Not to mention a little soggy. Probaly 80% unbuildable-ish.

What the hell do you think I am Sam? A cranberry farmer ? :D I'll have you know that I am still driving my 1997 F-350 gasser with only 128,000 on the clock, and my 2002 F-350 7.3 Diesel with only 289,000 miles on the clock. The diesel is just getting broken in. That's why its called the Million...

That has to be a joke or a major error Guy. That is $250,677.51 per acre. With no water or sewer available and working through all of Pinelands restrictions, I would say $8,000 -$10,000 per acre would be reasonable. That's $1.18 million on the low end.

I would much rather have seen that land annexed into Wharton, like the other land a few years ago, than into another NJCF property. :(

The word conservation is used improperly in the context of your statement. I believe you would be much happier if this Map is strong on preservation. From a National Park Service lesson plan entitled, Conservation vs Preservation and the National Park Service: "Put simply conservation seeks...

I feel the same way Boyd. Longer days are coming.

Noon to 7:00 pm at Batsto Visitor Center on January 24. A unique format. Stagger in at any time during those hours and talk to actual State employees who are affiliated with the map. No scheduled presentations.

I was asked to change my Comcast password about two weeks ago and my wife was notified last week. I doubted the veracity of the initial email notice when I first received it but eventually convinced myself it was legitimate. So far so good. :(

I'll bet their mommies killed all of them when they got home. :)

Thanks Boyd! Yes that is the place. It was run by the son, Lynn Vandine, when I hunted Nordmont in the late 80's. I Googled him and he died in 2012 at 63. His obit said he closed the store in 1990. Back then, smoking cigarettes in these little backwoods stores wasn't just permitted, it was...

I love hunting in PA. Many of the local hardware stores and general stores have guns and ammunition. I used to go in a one-room store in Nordmont, PA called VanDines General Store back in the 1980's. They had all your basic food needs and always stocked lots of 30-06 and 30-30 ammunition. I...

I cried when Atco Sports closed for good. I bought lots of guns and ammo there over the nearly 40 years I have lived here. It was truly a Mom and Pop shop with old man Walt Barnes and his wife Rose holding down the fort for 50 plus years . You are right Piney Warden, K-Mart had it all as did...

For those sportsmen and sportswomen out there who enjoy hunting and shooting, I have some very bad news. Shooters in LEHT is being sold to Ocean County for the tidy sum of $10,5000,000.00. Ocean does not seem afraid to spend money. The store and ranges will close on 12-31-23. The County is...

My buddy hunted that general area for a long time and always called it 5 Points or Red Onion. My buddy hunts with a club that my older son just joined and they still drive it occasionally. There are some odd private pieces back in there owned by some North Jersey guys that no one has ever seen...

Tragic story. I cannot imagine how the wife feels right now. I doubt that it was the kind of stand in the photo though. Many of my PA friends who own ground up there have elaborate, all wood treehouse blinds made as solid as as a house. I hunted out of a few in Tunkhannock that had actual...

If you don't, no one will.

Outstanding segment Sam. You're a natural in front of a camera!

The thing that fascinates me the most about that spot is the work it took to dam the both the Mullica River and the Sleeper Branch back in the early part of the 1900's. Everything was intact in the 1930 aerial.
