    Hiking the Parker Preserve

    On Sunday we hiked from the North Gate to the South Gate in order to explore a more remote area of the preserve. We combined sections of the green, white, blue and yellow trails to customize our hike. Along the way we picked up 4 geocaches, found a beautiful picnic spot, an old cultivated...

    Around Atsion And Other Things

    That dam washed out back in 2005. It was a great place to sit on a hot summer day.

    Trains found underwater off of NJ coast

    I too watched all of it even though I had seen it before and it is a very old video, Jeff! :dance: It was quite interesting.

    Trains found underwater off of NJ coast

    "It is odd that these heavy objects did not sink into the sand. Instead, they sit upon their wheels as if the sand were hard as rock, with a big space beneath each engine. MoDiver reports that the engines actually rest on iron gratings in the sand, something that the Deep Sea Detectives missed...

    Trains found underwater off of NJ coast

    I wonder how they landed on their feet. The strapped to a barge idea made sense. All of the barges I dove sunk flat on the bottom.

    sled dogs

    I've seen them running in these fields off Atsion Road. http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.77236166626116&lng=-74.76372241973877&z=16&type=h&gpx=

    Kodak

    They do sell digital cameras now, probably made in China for them. It's amazing how a company could be at the top and then loose it. This wasn't sudden, it must be about an entrenched corporate personality unwilling to change. Sears is going the same way. We used to buy a great deal from them...

    Boyd's Map of the Pines beta available

    I finally got my Oregon 450. I loaded Boyds nj 2012, some of US Topo East and Wharton 1995 aerials into the main memory. I I have an Amazon 16G micro sd, 10 and am loading that with Garmin Birdseye. Since downloads are limited to 230 MB, I must make a mosaic. What techniques does anyone have to...

    Pieces Of Hampton Park History

    Thanks for the post Lost Town Hunter, it cleared up allot of misconceptions. Do you have any idea of when the name Hampton was first used for this area? I have always assumed it dated from the furnace era.

    Logging of State-Owned Forests

    When I participated in the firewood program we were only allowed to take oak, this did not thin out the pines which is much needed.

    Oregon 450 touch screen calibration

    Thats exactly what happened. I pulled it out of my pocket and it was asking me to touch the dot. I did this twice, got annoyed thinking it was a stupid game mode and turned it off. It never mentioned calibration. Bear in mind I had gloves on and was in a windy field and had no time for this...

    Hiking the Parker Preserve

    What kind of dates did you see? I've never seen any older than 1928, but now I'll start looking. I saw the stones but they looked bore like bags of concrete and are quite worn.

    Hiking the Parker Preserve

    Polcat, I'm glad you joined the site. It was nice meeting you and your friends out at Parker on Sunday. I was afraid you would think I was sending you on a snipe hunt when I dropped you off at the end of Apple Jack Rd. I know how dense and wet it can be back there. Here is a link to a great...

    Oregon 450 touch screen calibration

    Boy did I learn this the hard way. I was using a friends GPS the other day, I don't get mine until Christmas, and put it in my pocket without locking the screen. There's no telling what buttons got pushed. Well the touch screen stopped working on certain parts of the screen. I couldn't get to...

    Hiking the Parker Preserve

    On Sunday we decided to revisit the RR trestle I used to canoe under in the early 70's, I hadn't been there since. This is just downstream from Chatsworth Lake and was reached by taking the red trail east from the parking lot. Looking east. It is in good shape but I don't know if it would take...

    Putting Farmland On A Fertilizer Diet

    The Chesapeake Bay has been dead for some time now. I used to boat it. I camped at Elke Neck State Park and there were warnings not to go into the water due to bacteria.Th only fish I saw were dead. Back in 1991 there were puppy stripers everywhere we went floating dead in the water.
