Apparently the state cut their sign down. The campground was late getting their permit in, and the sign was removed. John-

Getting back on track... I stopped by APH yesterday afternoon and I was amazed at how bad that place has gotten. I probably haven't been there in about a year and a half, and it's gotten so much worse in that time. Every section of the wooden guardrail has been covered in graffiti as well as...

Drove by the 'Shed yesterday. There were two trucks in the lot, so I pulled in. Inside, sat the owner with a friend, in the afternoon darkness, on the fun side of the bar. I was told he closed about two weeks ago due to lack of business, with no chance of reopening. Wasn't even sure it would...

According to the planning board meeting, there is a new Super-Wawa with gas pumps being built at the intersection. These generate tremendous amounts of added traffic. There is only so much civil engineering can do with expanding the existing roads. You make some good points, Mudboy, but will the...

Found another one of these signs the other day in Runnemede. The one pictured in Scott's link is not there, but this one is on Clements Bridge Rd heading east, between Big Timber Creek and the Black Horse Pike. What is interesting is that the cornerstone on this bridge looked similar to...

We had just about enough snow to have a little fun. Glad to see you and the kids got out and enjoyed some of it, in style. John-

Bob and Kevin- You both make good points. I never thought about wet or frozen charcoal. Charcoal burns steadily at around 2000˚F, and bog ore begins melting between 2100˚F and 2200˚F. That would explain the need for the blast from the bellows to keep the temps at a higher level. Plus, the...

I saw the same flyer at Sally Star's Pizza last night. It said she went missing at 2pm on Jan.25. She was last seen driving a white Yukon Denali, wearing a white t-shirt and blue sweats. John-

Ætna Furnace Slag About two weeks ago, I visited the Ætna furnace site. It's a very nice area right on the river. The millrace is still very prominent as is the hill mentioned in previous posts. While wandering around, I found a rather large piece of slag, approx. 10"x8". You can see the traces...

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I sure hope it's nothing serious. Good luck and keep us posted. John-

The hill there is still a good 12'-15' above the grade. Very picturesque from the top of it, with views of the river. On page 220 of Forgotten Towns, Father Beck writes, "From the midst of these rises the old furnace chimney, sixty feet high, still possessing a certain majesty. It is of Jersey...

This is at the first large landing on the Mullica, below the tracks. John-

I'm sorry to hear that... but I like your style. John-

I think you may want to leave it be. Members are used to it, and any title with the word map in it, newcomers will get the idea. Batsto is a good central location, also. Just my opinion. John-

You made this one look like a portrait done in oils. Very cool. John-

Frau is "Mrs", a married woman and fraulein is "Miss", an unmarried woman. John-

They have been after the old Sahara Sands site in Monroe Twp for a few years now. (check the date) http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2007/11/state_purchasing_former_strip.html There has been an issue with PB Tree Frogs and Barred Owls, along with some other species...

It's working good now, Ben. Getting all members posts except my own. I logged out and was able to retrieve them. Don't know why I can't see them when I'm logged on. Maybe I'm supposed to remember them all. :) Very nice, so far. It's not really much of a change in navigating the forums, mainly...

Observation When you prompt "Find all posts" or "Find forum posts" on a members profile, you will only receive a list of posts since the changeover. All other posts are not on the list. John-

Thanx, Karl... I wasn't sure.
