    Can this be real??

    She just may be that stupid! If not, she does a very convincing job. Is it me, or are there two wolves driving the busted up car from NY at 1:37? Maybe they like the way the government directed the deer population by putting a sign there. Now they don't have to hunt to survive, they can jack a...

    Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey

    What a great weekend for the Challenge. Or to be outside doing anything! We made all 15 stops and even had time to visit/ climb Lucy in Margate. It was well attended from the info I gathered at various stops and the amount of people we saw. Here is a photo my son took my personal favorite...

    The History of the Cedar Bridge Fire Tower

    I found the 1924 location by accident while walking back out to the truck on Warren Grove Rd after the '09 Affair at Cedar Bridge event. Reminded me a little of the top of Bear Swamp Hill. John-

    Terrific pictures, Bobbleton! But you're a brave man to lay down that close to a snake... just for a picture. :)

    Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey

    The kids and I have completed the NJ Challenge 4 times and are going for 5 this year. We have also done the Md Challenge twice and the Long Island (NY) Challenge once. It is possible to visit all the stops in 2 days, but climbing all would be the real challenge! You should pick and choose which...

    Dble Trouble SP cranberry harvest

    Unfortunate News I just contacted DTSP to inquire about the harvest dates, because it should be getting close. Bob said that the new crew was not going to be able to make it happen this year, but will probably be a go for 2013. As in the past, going to watch the harvest will still be possible...

    A new Pinelands book?

    Cathy (the author) is an experienced explorer of the pines, and not necessarily an historian. The book is written with emphasis on the present attractions of the Pine Barrens and the surrounding area, without compromising the integrity of the historical elements. It lightly touches on the...

    marlton windmill

    Guy- Do you remember the Savich ice-cream stand back in '70's? And do you have any photos of it? Would surely like to see a pic of the place I ate my 1st ice-cream cone. After a summer baseball game, I remember my friend's mom saying "keep licking" as the it melted down my hand. Great...

    Pemberton Historic Trust must remove trains

    When I visited the RR station/museum back in '10, the caretaker (strongly) suggested that I check out the rail cars, after I examined the museum inventory. Perhaps, even back then, he had a fear that this could happen. John-

    This Old Stone House

    The first photo is interesting. It seems to imply the building was made piecemeal, as if availability of the stone was a concern. Many of the smaller stones are near the bottom of the structure, while the larger ones are at the top. If all the stone was at hand during initial construction, the...

    Dble Trouble SP cranberry harvest

    Because this is state land, I "assume" the harvest can be observed as in years past. Does any one know for certain? Also, have any dates been announced? John-

    film still seeking new and old Pine Barrens stories

    I sorta remember similar experiences when I used to "chew on these little squares of newspaper" and listen to Led Zep IV. However... it is an interesting story, nonetheless! John-

    Lock's Bridge

    I've found slag (both forge and furnace) in many odd places... along the tracks, at river and stream bridge crossings, etc. In places you wouldn't expect it to be. With the amount of furnace/forge activity in the Pines, running 300+ days a year (depending on freezing), the amount of slag must...

    Last Call For Sea Breeze

    You said that right, Al! I used to duck hunt outta Turkey Point and Hansey Crik years ago, and up near Berrytown. Awesome place to run the ditches, as long as you catch the tide right! John-

    Any ideas what kind of bird this is?

    Judging by the tail striping and the eye color, it looks like a red-tailed. John-

    Paddling the Skit

    These are some great shots, Ed. Looks like a hardcore paddle, to be sure! The Skit is one of my favorite piney criks. Thanx for sharing. Guy called it, that pic of the ancient beaver stump is awesome! John-
