    Ancient graves of Sayers & Ludlams

    I have the large paper maps as well.They were hand drafted by a man named Hartman (would have to dig them out to get his first name) and they were done in the 1970's. It says this right on the maps.I would have thought they were much older as well. I have also heard the man that made them is no...

    Ancient graves of Sayers & Ludlams

    I"m not sure . I just went to the NJ tax search site which has been changed recently and most of the lots in that area are not giving owner info.Just lot and block numbers and thats about it.I do see that a few large blocks west of 666 and south of first ave are now owned by the city of Estelle...

    Quack, quack

    Us stone hunters don't have any taxes yet.Shhh! This NJ after all. Stones don't bleed and you don't need any bait for them so their very low maintenance but I must confess trying to eat o e is a terrifying project.

    Another trip to Manumuskin River Preserve

    State Forest no it isn't legal.Plainly posted only with permit in designated areas.Mainly on public beaches looking for coins and jewelry.No historically sensitive areas. .There is no reg posted against it on the WMA signs but being it is state property your probably not allowed to take...

    Ancient graves of Sayers & Ludlams

    Yep your in the right area Boyd and if you can accurately georeference the Hartman Maps we will have to give you the Nobel Map Prize.They are not accurate as they stand though for hand drawn maps they are top notch. I do believe the new state property probably borders on that diagonal road...

    Ancient graves of Sayers & Ludlams

    I have been there. It was a trespass then,not sure if it still is.I know the state bought more property out there.All I found was an old wire fence and a few red brick on the trail in off of first ave.and there was a shallow hole about two ft deep and ten feet across where someone had been...

    Sometimes this time of year I get a crowded feeling because of so many hunters in the woods but I tells myself that if it weren't for these guys they'd be no woods for me to run around in.Hats off to hunters.

    I know people that can talk out their rear ends but turtles can actually inhale as well!

    Did you go in where we went in the one time and came out and had notes on are windshields telling us we were trespassing?

    The end of Garmin Basecamp

    Why does this consistently happen? Is it a tactic to constantly force us to buy new gps units? I bought a Tom Tom about five years ago and bought the life time map updates.Then three years later I was notified the updates were no good because they quit supporting that model of Tom Tom and I...

    Artesian well north of Lower Forge

    When you hike at night your other senses will take over to an extent.If your bushwacking and it's really dark I"d wear goggles with trap so they don't get flung off but you will learn to move slow and feel what your walking into.Just protect your eyes.You hear things at night you will not hear...

    Artesian well north of Lower Forge

    Illegal to hike after dark? never heard of that one.It's not on the signs.I am a serious law breaker if this is true.i know in WMA"s your only allowed after dark if legally hunting or fishing but the State Forest has no such law that I know of.Doesn't matter.I"ll do it anyway.

    I"d prefer to hike across the Barrens myself as long as I had no time contraints.

    Atsion Road 1913

    Being I was not around in 1913 or in 1863 I can't say for sure how rough the trains were but in Civil War diaries the soldiers gripe about how uncomfortable the trains really were but this may have been from stacking them in there like cord wood.This happened to me once in the back of a five...

    Atsion Road 1913

    From reading much about the Civil war trains back then aren't what they are today.It would have been a rough ride to say the least,cinders blowing in your face, Forrest ripping up the tracks and burning the bridges. Oh sorry, I guess most of that don't apply to NJ
