    New Map

    It appears the proposed route of the Delaware & Raritan RR is significantly north of where it was actually built, North of Apple Pie Hill and running through Hampton Furnace. BTW the MrSid viewer is really nice. Does anyone know when the RR was built? Ed

    Beavers return to New York City after 200 years

    Biologists videotaped a beaver swimming up the Bronx River on Wednesday. Its twig-and-mud lodge had been spotted earlier on the river bank, but the tape confirmed the presence of the animal itself.

    West Jersey History and Map Links

    Why was New Jersey divided into east and west? It's not even east/west when I look at the map. It doesn't seem geographical, pines are included with mountains in the west, and both share the Jersey shore.

    Hey Stu, I have that disease. It's similar to malaria, treatable but not curable. I am not allowed to donate blood because of it. Is it cold up there in nowheresville, PA? When you get back this way let me know, we'll do some hiking and paddeling, and the PIC. Ed

    Mannis Duck Pond

    Thats a really great spot! When we first "discovered it" in the late 70's we were hiking from Carranza to Lower Forge. We found an inviting foot path and stumbled onto the pond. At that time there had been a fire north of the pond and it was very open. Great for birding. We since mannaged to get...

    King Tut

    Crowded enough that we had to park off site. The tickets have a half hour window for the entry time so there isn't crowding in the exhibit. There was no line to enter the exhibit itself. If you go, purchase the audio tour. For $7 you get some gadget with headphones. Highlighted exhibits have a...

    Don, I am also a JRT fan. I owned 3 for quite awhile, a mother and 2 of her sons. The last died in Feb 2006 at 18 years 8 months. I am now looking for a pup. Do you hunt, race them? I attend the Northgate, Breezwood trials and also the JRTCA Nationals. What is the significance of the WP 1700...

    King Tut

    We went to see it at the Franklin Institute yesterday. It was impressive but I was disapointed that the full size funeral mask was not present. It's the mask you see in the advertisements. I stood in front of that mask when it was at the Smithsonian in the 70's. It made me feel like I was in the...

    Junk Mail

    I do that to. I also include something from another junk mail that is not personalized. The rest, personal or other wise I burn. As of right now I am burning personal paper my mother gave to me to get rid of. It has BTU value, so I heat my house and I send all that carbon back into the...

    favorite places to eat and imbibe in the pines

    We ate at the Forks once. My wife said it was the worst steak she ever had, full of gristle. We walked out. The Forks restaurant is no more. This summer they wern't even renting the boat slips. I havent been to the Lower bank Inn since 1973. We stoped while canoeing the Mullica. It was just...

    favorite places to eat and imbibe in the pines

    The Pic is trying to be something it is not. Scott, remember the goat? We were there for dinner just this last Friday. The waitress always looks supprised when we order wings instead of the lemongrass steak. I miss walking through the stall to get into the men's room. Yes, the dog at the...
