    That looks like it could be it Ed.I don't know what aerial that is but the lay out looks like the southern crossing.I don't know where salters Ditch is but i have heard the name.I"ll have to search it and see if this is it.

    Oswego Lake Road

    The bridge at Plains branch? Thats right where the road crosses the bog at Sims Place.Perhaps the bridge is out? You could alwayscross upstream at Longs Causeway but that would be a definite route extension.

    Not that I blame the cops for that. They can't be every where at once and it's really not their job to be our body guards.It's their job to make arrests and call the coroner afterwards and hopefully write down evidence to clear the innocent defender. NJ actually has a right to defend law.You...

    Actually I imagine the reason folks brought guns to church back then was because they carried them every where with them.There were highway bandits, Injuns,bears in the woods.They probably sat them in the corner or in a closet till the service was over.Kinda like folks carry cell phones with...

    Maybe they had church shooters back then as well? I know a lot of churches have plain closthed members of the congregation packing now. Everyone wants to go to Heaven but no one wants to go right now! I"m all for it myself. These psychos are having it much too easy.makes it more interesting when...

    That is a driveway,the ying yang i was speaking of and yes that leads to the bridge which is not decrepit but is blocked from vehicles and the road does lead to fries Mill.The bridge is in quite good shape for walking across .I can take you in that way but not up the road.That would take you...

    Key's Sandwash--Menantico Ponds?

    You'd be better off parking at Barth rd or Port Cumberland rd and walking in that way.All the yahoos go in on Schooner landing because you can drive in that way.They keep blocking it but they make routes around the blocks.I think they have given up blocking it and are arresting people hoping the...
