Thanks Scott. Odd.

JD, there was a kind of hump in the land on one side, maybe I didn't realize I was in a sort of hole. I'll check out the other one next to the ROW, I was not there Sunday.

My memory is not what it used to be. I quit smoking when I turned 35 in 1989, so it was possibly 1987 or 1988. I was at the one closest to Coyle yesterday, and there had been a structure there. I doubt it would have been dumped.

Guy, I was out looking for an old laser tag game area a friend owned in the mid 1980's. It was one of the two clearings shown just north of 72. But what of this long narrow block. Do you know anything about it, is it a right of way? Tax map does not say. Maybe he was illegal, and used the right...

He didn't want to get chiggers while watching them get it on.

I never met him, but it seems he had a real nice life with a good family. And living on the Mullica was a big bonus. God bless you Jim.

Yeah, that's severe.

Needs a real hot burn Guy!

All the meat was inside the links I posted. See the first link: https://www.state.nj.us/dep/greenacres/pdf/2021-notices-cjrpc-land-swap-report-figures-1-12.pdf https://www.state.nj.us/dep/greenacres/pdf/2021-notice-cjrpc-appendix-2-august-2020-maher-appraisals-report.pdf

I'm kind of okay with it, but it definitely is skewed on the clubs side. https://www.app.com/story/news/local/land-environment/2021/03/04/jackson-nj-central-jersey-rifle-pistol-club-colliers-mills/6902350002/

Guy, what is your source for all that about Birdsall and his "cut". Is that a magazine, newspaper?

Some interesting photos in there if you keep scrolling down.

Well, all petroleum is from plant life, so we're close enough. I doubt a forest fire would burn that deeply.

Oh yeah, it sticks around (pun intended). https://www.britannica.com/place/La-Brea-Tar-Pits

I would think so, right? Tar is just pine resin, no? Actually, the more I read the more complex it is. Heat being involved and all the changes.

I learned something in that one Al. I was puzzled as to why the tar would not simply lay on the ground in the pit and not move to the center. Now I realize the base is sloped towards the center, and the ground beaten hard with a clay covering. That prevents the tar from soaking in and just lying...

The Navy Jet sled track site. There were 5 sets of rails, and they'd fire up a jet engine and use it to fling a deadload on wheels at the arresting gear set up at the end. I worked there awhile. Think of a deadload weighing 65,000 lbs or more hitting the gear. One broke the cable one time, and...

Cool. Could "A" actually just have been a path at one time? It looks too narrow to be a road. How come the one I circled didn't interest you?

I get a kick out of that paper. This article below ran to at least 1,000 words, though I didn't count. Also, I disagree with those against this store. It's on 206 for cripes' sake, what's the big deal? They have 2 in Whiting, and very convenient...
