You know, we were there Saturday, and it looked to me like the ruins were significantly more crumbled than they were last summer. Was that my imagination?

Thanks, Guy, I appreciate the info! I try not to be nosy, I really do. But you all know how it is, finding cool stuff in the woods. :) It was such a great day to be out Saturday, it was sunny and snowy all at the same time, and despite the cold, it is very apparent that the pines are...

No problem. Like I said, when I realized what it was, I got the heck outta dodge. I'm probably putting my nose in where people just don't want it, so I have no intention of digging further! I just thought it was an interesting spot right there in the middle (or, rather, on the edge) of state...

I read some of the TWP meeting minutes since posting this thread. It almost looks like someone is living in that house. The pines just never cease to amaze me.

:v: Oh. Sorry. I am *so* not a car person. It was a Rambler, cause that's what it says on the steel dashboard. From the photos that I came up with in Google, it looks like I have the year pretty much right on the nose. How did I do that? I guess it's cause I'm a 1963 model myself. :dance:

We apparently went where we weren't supposed to go. We looked around the old school at Atsion, then spotted a burnt-out old house nearby and investigated. It has a 1930s electric stove in the middle, cool! Then into the area where a ca. 1963 Ford Rambler station wagon sits and rots. That was...

I see pheasants all the time up here in Mercer and Hunterdon counties. They are apparently making a comeback, or there are a lot of ferals or something. Whenever I see them, they're always running down the road like joggers.

Whoo doggie, are you in for a treat. :) Start with Atsion Lake, putin at N 39.44.787 W 74.45.853. Paddling through the ponds is a truly amazing experience. Another great spot is Batsto Lake, if you have a GPS, the coordinates for the putins are near 39.660 W 074° 39.131. These coords are...

Speaking of being shot at, make sure you wear blaze orange during hunting season. If you're not sure when that is, wear it anyway. We got vests at Harrys Army/Navy for like 5 bucks.

And hecks yeah, use a GPS! It's not hard to get lost, and it's a big place. A GPS or at least some reliable navigation tool is essential, and a cell phone is even better, although sometimes reception is spotty. As for undesirables, (other than myself and the fine people of this forum), I...

Silly Behr, the body was probably hauled off to some secret government site and studied in top secret conditions. :ninja:

How are they solved by flying lower? The planes will use more fuel that way.

Yeah, it's definitely there. Worth looking for, the swamp is a great place to explore. Better now than in chigger season. I got the worst bites ever looking for that site. Be sure to look for the remains of the tower, and the bathrooms nearby! Weird ruin, it took me a minute to figure out what...

Um. :ninja: Those are definitely JD tracks.

I bet someone's in big trouble with their mom!

Hm, I may fall in that category. We (a childless couple) bought a "starter house" in Ewing that someone raised a family in back in the 50s. It's two bedrooms and one bathroom, and it's pretty small. I can't imagine someone raising a family there now, we have really become a different culture...

Hands off, you hussy, he's mine! Sorry. Couldn't resist.

We have the Street Pilot 2610, and totally love it. (we have the topo maps and the whole US on it). It's better, sure, for navigating, but as you said, the CSX handheld is a great compromise, and we'd have been just as happy with just that. Okay, I would be just as happy. My compu-geek techie...

You won't be disappiointed with the 60CSX. It's really versatile. We did find a bug with ours, I don't know if it's been fixed yet, but if you lose a signal while driving through a tunnel or something, it can't find satellites again unless you shut it off and restart it. Other than that, it's...

I agree, there is nothing like those canoes. I have one that I have quite literally beaten the crap out of, and it's still purty. I never use it anymore because we have kayaks, (and we all know the fastest way to break up a relationship is to paddle one canoe together) but I just can't bring...
