While recently exploring the Ætna Furnace site in Atlantic County, I found a rather large (10"x8") piece of slag. You can see the the traces of iron along with the impurities (slag). What interests me is the amount of charcoal remaining. I've found hunks of slag with a random piece of charcoal...

I knew '09 was a wet year but, WOW, almost 10.5" over normal! And close to 9" in December, with the heavy snow that came and went. I heard it was an inch to every 4" of snow. John-

Not likely, Bob. Reid just got resigned for three years and McNabb's contracted through next year.

I agree with TabernacleNative and his statement that there are older folk as well as younger causing this wanton destruction. The woman who was ripping up the JCRR bridge was no kid. Ignorance is not determined by age, it's an individual trait. Guy makes a good point, and it's one I happen to...

The Outskirts Took a ride to the "big city" for a change of pace. The first pic is of the Mt Holly RR Station. It has been restored, and is now a Jamaican/American restaurant. In the postcard, the rails heading east, past the water tower, have been removed and the grade is now a rail-trail...

Very nice work. I wouldn't worry about the hiccup. It's barely noticeable. Probably wouldn't have seen it, if you didn't mention it. Keep 'em coming. John-

Well said, Mike. Karmic Retribution! Great name, Gipsie, best of luck with her. John-

I've seen a few of these myself. This one is my personal favorite. This is Old Halfway in Sept. 1990. We used to call it Hidden Lake back then. John-

I musta missed this post first time around. That sound is like nails on the chalkboard!!! It hits you right in your spine. But, there's nuthin' you can do, cause there ain't no place to turn it round. Jus' get out the compound and start rubbin'. Ouch!

This was the millrace at Pleasant Mills yesterday.

Another photo of the action. The air was filled with smoke!

It was a very interesting (and muddy) event. The weather was just about perfect. Old Halfway Rd off Rte#72 had a flood warning sign, so we went to the other end. We were told there that the field across from the tavern was no good for parking, so they were running shuttle vans from Rte#532. It...

This was a fantastic read, Jerseyman, thank you. And thanx for clearing this up! :) Some of my earliest readings of the pines, years ago, were about the pine robbers. The likes of "Fast Billy" Giberson, Joe Mulliner and Fagan have always intrigued me. I first read about Fenton in Reverend Beck's...

Great holiday ending to to a sad story. Nice work, Ed. My daughter is very happy you saved her. For a name, Lucky might not be bad. She's very lucky Ed happened by when he did. John-

The new layout looks great, Ben. The icons look pretty cool, too. I like the fact that you kept the green base color. It seems to fit, somehow. John-

You should have a beautiful ride in the country. I hope they open the roads well enough for you. Have a safe trip! John-

On the western border Williamstown is just barely in the pines, on the western side, so I thought I'd add these. The glass company building was fairly easy to spot in the middle of town. There apparently have been some renovations over the years. Even the meat market was extended towards the...

Thanx for posting this, Jerseyman. Judging from the notation, it seems the postal service wasn't quite as efficient as it is today. :rolleyes: Then again, stamps probably weren't .44 Merry Xmas to you and yours, John-

Jerseyman- I agree with you on the misspelling of both given names and surnames. You see it all the time. I also believe the name on the sign is a given name. My point was that if I were to make an elaborate sign, with shadowed lettering, as a memorial for a possible friend or relative, I'd...
