    A TASTE OF NJ's HISTORY

    All- Thanx for viewing. I was intrigued by these old postcards also, Jerseyman. They provide a good feeling for the way things were at the time they were printed. I really enjoyed tracking some down to see how they weathered the passing of time, and trying to capture the same angles. Their...

    A TASTE OF NJ's HISTORY

    Thanx for posting this. There are a lot great photos on this site. Although many are from northern Jersey, there are a few from the pineland area. For the last week or so, I've been trying to find some of the local ones (for me). I managed to find a few, and taking a page from the "Then and...

    A man, a machine

    Last Sunday was a day with beautiful weather, and after Saturday's nastiness, cabin fever was setting in. I couldn't wait to get out, so I took a detour on the way to checking one of my stands, to pass through Winslow Junction. Saw a couple of fellas outside the barn, so I pulled up to ask...

    East Plains Clouds

    Very nice work! Storm Clouds was a good capture with the sun in the dead center of those thunderheads. Turtle, it was John Ford, the director who worked many times with the Duke. :) John-

    quaker bridge tavern ?

    Thanks for posting the date, Guy. Very decorative map; nice scroll work. Only problem is, north isn't exactly "up". Maybe where the confusion started. Interesting to see how they drew the two millponds for the furnace and the forge at Hampton. Also, there is no sign of the Lower/Washington...

    quaker bridge tavern ?

    I agree with Piker that the hotel is on the Lower Forge Rd. The Quaker Bridge/Sandy Ridge Rd is not on this map. Looks like Goodwater Rd following the river south and the other is the Quaker Bridge/Washington Rd, heading to Mount. Barb Stull's book suggests the tavern stood between Lower Forge...

    quaker bridge tavern ?

    Arthur Thompson supposedly built a tavern at Quaker Bridge in 1808. It was the lights of this tavern that were seen in the "White Stag of Shamong" legend. It was a stop on the Tuckerton Stage Road between E. Clines tavern at Goshen and the inn at Mount. The below link may help, but I'm not to...

    transition

    Excellent photos. I used to love that course. Very beautiful with all the rolling hills. You're right about 18, the top of that hill seemed like it was a mile away standing on the tee box! IMHO, it was one of the most picturesque golf courses in South Jersey, and you recaptured all of it's...

    Music for the day

    Thanx, that's great! You didn't mention the prize, though. An MKT, perhaps? :mrgreen:

    On the edge of the East Plains

    All beautiful pictures, nice work! Very cool that you both got the same shot of the clouds. I always enjoy the silhouette pics. John-

    Music for the day

    It's used in a Lincoln car commercial. An SUV, I believe.

    The Stagecoach Stop- Medford

    Thanks for the info, DeepXplor. Was by there on Tuesday and it was still standing. Thanx for the pics, Mike. http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/news_details/article/26/2009/november/20/demolition-work-begins-in-medford.html John-

    Sweetwater Casino?

    The Sweetwater Casino caught fire and burned out on June 30, 2008. The owners wanted to rebuild and reopen ASAP, but apparently there was some sort of insurance claim issues. http://www.evfc160.com/main/article.php/20080820102538730 They did however open the Tiki bar this year. The place...

    Fishing the bay and ocean

    Great looking pup, Mike! Quail, too. The males are so much better looking. Gunner has a look like... "Put down the camera and let's get back out there." :) Best of luck with him. John-

    College student collecting frogs is mistaken for deer, shot dead

    Sounds like this guy was trying to poach a deer on private land. Probably a case of shooting at a noise without "knowing your target and beyond." If I need a deer that bad, I'll just run him over with the truck! It's a real shame for the kids and their families. John-

    Good chance they're flying to Dover AFB in Del.

    Batona Trail

    I agree, Scott. Sitting in a stand during six-day can be a challenge. I have a couple of stands set up deep in the swamps where I know some of them city boys fear to tread. The swamp deer aren't real big, but at least it's peaceful. John-
