Yes he was Italian, as is most of Hammonton today. I originally scanned it at 600dpi but the file was huge. A friend at work kicked it down to 300dpi and that was emailable at 1.24 meg. I really have no idea what I am doing with the scanner. I am going to attempt it again with some help from...

Over the last few weeks you have seen some information and photos from Guy and myself about a piney named Dave Amato . He died about 25 years ago and his house is still standing. An older friend of mine knew Dave and cut an article out of the AC Press from August 1968 that was about Dave and...

This is the guy who has the camps right at the bend in Columbia Ave about 1/4 mile west of the airport. He uses almost entirely Haitian labor and in the summer, that encampment looks to be way overcrowded. Apparently it was. He just built a huge mansion behind his irrigation ponds a little...

The area where the house is constructed would have met today's technical definition for a wetland but it was never as wet as it is today. Groundwater within 12" of the surface and hydrophytes will get you a wetland designation. As you come down the main road, you will notice a subtle, large...

My wife and I were out near Penn Swamp today but on the way home, I wheeled in to a spot close to home near Parkdale for a photo or two. This is a house that I have been gradually learning more about. An older friend of mine knew the owner and stopped in to visit him quite often. If the owner...

I will be back in CM in a few weeks to pay my bill and I will check to see if I can get a serial no. They still have a lot of work to do before the marina opens. I don't remember if the Swamp Monster has UNIT on the counterweight or not. If I get a chance before chigger season I will check...

That's her. She and I do everything together. Except hunting. She is one of 4 girls and all four love to fish and aren't afraid to play in the mud. Her sister Barabara is working this very morning on the Iditarod in Anchorage as a volunteer!

Well this guy's is! Anyone familiar with the swamp monster along the Sleeper and who has read the research of the crane, knows it was a UNIT crane. They are no longer in production. I was down in Cape May today driving around Bree Zee Lee where I keep my boat and found a working UNIT. The...

Thanks Boyd. I think you are right, the base map is probably on the stock chip that I removed. I tried the unit in my truck today on the way to work and with the Mapsource Topo chip, it shows all the major roads and local side streets . County roads are labelled by name too. I am not going...

First question. I did read the manual too. :) I put in the micro sd Mapsource topo chip and it works great. I followed the directions to flip back to the map that was preloaded in the unit(basic street maps) and I don't see it listed in the menu. Was the basic map on the sd card that I...

I just ran it around the woods down here for an hour storing some points and playing with the various pages. It appears to very intuitive which I like. I have never been one to read all the way through the directions for something but I am going to sit down and thoroughly read the manual...

Tonight I should be getting my new Garmin 60CXS handheld GPS. Now I can get lost in color! I ordered the Mapsource topo micro sd card and I will be getting the Bluechart micro sd for the ocean in a few weeks. I have been getting by with a Magellan 315 non-mapping GPS for about 8 years now and...

I now think one of the reasons we found the flow remarkable on Saturday was the stream gradient, after having seen the topographic maps. When you can only see 50 yards or so each way it is hard to estimate slope.

The topography on both sides of the creeks in this area is steeply sloping. Not a likely area for attempting bog operations. Downstream towards New Lisbon and to the north bogs can be seen on the older maps that Bob posted and there are still active bogs on the road we drove in on. The second...

Thanks Jerseyman once again for enlightening us. Your thoughts on the power canal are probably spot on in this case. In pipe design, the velocity (V) in the pipe is a function of Q (flow in Cubic feet per second) divided by the cross sectional area A (of the pipe. V= Q/A To increase...

The second map posted by Bob that shows what appears to be the canal is very interesting. I said to Bob on Saturday that the canal could not have been the type to have been used for transporting goods because it was too curving, small and narrow. Looking at Bob's map, the canal looks more like...

I went along with pbxbob and woodjin yesterday for an exploration of some ruins and an exporation of old mill pond in Jeff's neck of the Big Woods. We traced an impressive, dry canal for well over a mile to its origins at a stream. There we found the remnants of what was likely a large...

The only down side is this will be the new twin turbo 6.4l. A completely new engine again. You will be looking at least another year or more of growing pains and troubles like what was experienced with the 6.0

I do exactly that sir.

Whew! I was sure hoping you got the 7.3 You did very well with your research. The early 6.0's in 03' and 04' were very problematic. The only common problem with the 7.3 is the cam position sensor. Its a $110.00+/ sensor in the front of the block above the flywheel that craps out with no...
