No, I decided to cut it. She was happy when I did though. Having hair that long is a lot of work. Takes forever to dry, people mistake you for a girl sometimes when you're driving, gets all knotted up when you ride a motorcycle, got caught in a car door once...that was embarassing.

Thanks Al. The singer died under suspicious circumstances. His family has not been very forth coming about the official cause. He was a real good guy, but he had some issues. Perhaps I will fill you sometime on a hike. Jeff

Thought you all might get a kick out of this. My old bass player from a cover band I was in in the early 2000's just uploaded some old footage of us. In the off season (not summer) we played locally. This was us at the Indian Chief Tavern on route 70. We are doing Heartbreaker by Led Zep...

Ed is correct, Strom. It is north of Speedwell. it is right where Teegate marked it on the map. The thing is, it is gated and you are not allowed to drive in. If you walk it, there is a shelter there and a little dock. I've fished from the dock a bunch of times. I've caught pickerel there...

Strom, you are allowed to fish in the Parker preserve. They didn't allow it at first but now they do.

Ahhhh, that was funny! Yeah, Gabe, as Dogg was saying that is a pretty major point they made about it. I suspect it is supplemented by run off from the hills that surround it, and having a thick clay base that retains the water. But I recall Bob and I and Guy and Al examined the feeder stream...

Do people change or do situations change that cause people react differently?

good observations

Great info, Guy. I imagine the watering place, being one of few natural ponds in the barrens (as opposed to spungs), was a rarity appreciated by early americans (and indians before them). The name most certainly depicts this as a popular watering spot for horses and perhaps to fill water jugs...

Man, what a terrible experience.

That was very funny!!

:DFair enough. I think running into a bigfoot would certainly be quite an experience, and I promise that you will be the first to hear of it. Good luck with your quest.

Adam, I appreciate your detailed response. This is really a fruitless disscussion I suppose since I can't prove it doesn't exist and you can't prove it does. Clearly you are very interested in this pursuit and as far as I can see, this interest doesn't adversly affect anyone else. Therefore...

It's a half full, half empty thing, Bob. The first car that hit her did stop. Also, the wife of the deceased shopper stated that six nurses who were shopping there came to his aid almost immeditely. Nascar, someone once said to me "times change, people don't". I think of this everytime I...

Adam, Considering that bigfoot's existence in the pacific NW has been discounted by the entire scientific community (save for a very few). And the most contraversial evidence has been proven to be a hoax; why do you think there is some possibility of a bigfoot living in NJ of all places? Is...

Guy, Dogg57 is correct. It is Watering Place Pond. It is referred to as such in "The vegetation of the NJ pine-barrens" published in 1916. I pulled out my copy because I recalled it being in there. It has photos from 1913 of the pond. Jeff

Well, it seems that there are still some that haven't figured out that the Purgatory House is patrolled. I drove past on route 70 today and saw a white car and two state cruisers with lights flashing. Somebody's parents are going to be mad.

That's really cool, Al. I'm still waiting on my first bear encounter. Everytime I hear of someone seeing one I get a bit jealous. Jeff

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting. In The Great Plains...it is a surprise to learn that there is gold in the plains!!!! ummm. I wonder what kind of automobile they were using. Jeff

I've fished this old res. in the Parker Preserve from shore before with success. I wanted to try it with my kayak, though, to get into the old cedar stumps. It required a little dragging, but i was able to get into the res. by means of an old canal. Didn't have much luck, I'll have to try...
