    Hampton Furnace Environs

    I was in this area today. It made me sick seeing all these closed roads. They do it because they think the woods will be destroyed. Plastic signs barring access at all the orange symbols, and I left out several. Who the hell is going to drive a vehicle into Skit Branch, the Batsto, or Deep Run?

    Mystery Canal and Historic Ground Water Levels

    What I find puzzling is this little extra bit of a scar into the watershed proper. It's like crazy larry stole his dad's dozer and was playing around to see if he could connect the two together. Maybe if you go to the X, you'll see it half sunk in the swamp. I have a theory about the...

    Mystery Canal and Historic Ground Water Levels

    Oddly, I was not really challenging you per se, it's just that I could not see it either way; sort of a chicken or the egg thing. So I was hoping you had a good answer to settle my mind.

    Mystery Canal and Historic Ground Water Levels

    Gabe, I'm curious to know what you are basing your assertion on that the ditch was prior to the road.

    Interesting. That's just west of Bamber. I have no idea.

    Makes me wonder what devilish fiend is messing with this area. This is fairly close to that army facility just west of Whiting with the tower.

    Well, in most cases, that will work. Thanks for all the work you have done on this parcel data.

    AI Chat

    Tonight Bing rolled out their AI chat box in Edge. I asked them what Capital One gets in return for pushing their Quicksilver Credit card (they have been relentless). Here is how it answers. One very important reason I very much welcome this, is because you don't get all these answers from...

    Acres of N.J. wetlands were illegally cleared during state project, conservation groups allege

    This time the attack is particularly clamorous. I decided to stay out of it for lack of knowledge and experience on my part as to the damage vs benefit. I am simply unqualified to take a stand.

    Boyd's Hotel

    A hunk of wood I turned over in the field I first mentioned. Also found brick too. Problem is, you don't know what you have since it's been so long. These may be dumped items because the nails are galvanized. The field needs a hot burn in order to see it clearly. That flat spot I marked...

    Boyd's Hotel

    No surprise here, the road through the swamp has been dammed by beaver, cannot drive through anymore. Look what the beaver did to this young cedar, which were only trying to make a go of it. Some of these are big back there in the swamp. By the way, I flushed a woodcock that was setting in...

    Boyd's Hotel

    There's room enough for a man to breathe. One of those places that says "something was here". Peter owns the property to the south of the township plot. Somebody is all set up, nice camera and battery, the works. Problem is, the property north of the road has some junk on it. This looks...

    Boyd's Hotel

    Well, I needed to get outside today, so I walked around the hotel site. Below are my tracks. I'm 80% sure the hotel was in the busy area shown by the arrow. Photos to follow.

    New Garmin GPSMAP 66i

    Yes, my button is still holding up, and between the Lakehurst survey and the RK survey, and state work, I probably have pushed it a minimum of 3,000 times.

    In fact Guy, if there was anybody out there willing to buy my Montana, I'd go for the 7xx right now. It comes with Birdseye (my Montana I mean).

    That screen size is unacceptable to me. Once you go big, you never want to go back.

    Boyd's Hotel

    This area along Pasadena road brings back a memory. Our 12th trip in Oct 2001 was titled "Lebanon Crossing". We went straight through the woods from route 70 to Pasadena Road. Here's the trip report and a rough route. I apologize if I posted the trip report already. Trip Date: 23-Oct-2001...

    Okay, in the 1980's there was something much closer to the road, before that house was there.
