I see more on Dover Forge in "Boyer, Early Forges and Furnaces in NJ". In there, it says of the owner, Joseph Austin: "Joseph Austin was looked upon as an expert forge man. It is said that he was able to control the hammer blows so accurately that he could place a large knife edgewise on the...

Yes, they call that Mule Road too, so the old gent had to nudge those mules to the West. By the way, I dimly recall reading somewhere that the road heading the direction I pointed out was used for them to get to Hanover Furnace (on Fort Dix now).

Very nice! Herein: "The principle product of Dover Forge was bar iron, which was hauled to Philadelphia over a road through the woods known as "Mule Road", of which no trace remains today. It was laid in a straight line to Buddtown and crossed numerous swamps en route over log causeways." This...

Saw a really nice one yesterday. About 16" long. I had taken off my pack and was kneeling down and there he was, about 3 feet from me.

This is not the first time the lake has been like this. They will fix it.

Where did he pick it up? Lonestars are the only ticks in the pines proper. The smaller ones do have a light area towards their rear end. Does yours? You are right, it does look suspiciously like the one you mentioned, which I'm unfamiliar with.

It happened to me along Cedar Creek about 20 years ago. I was wearing too much clothes and covering my head due to the pine flies. I had to sit down cause I felt faint. I knew I was in trouble. The humidity was outrageous that day. I had a quart of water and poured it on my head. Then I walked...
