Perhaps your right, but I'm not quite sure. The vast majority of those sites are Central and North Jersey, and while its great to see the additions of Atsion and Batsto the question of archaeological preservation is still, to me anyway, one that is not adressed in the Pine Lands and other...

Makes me think of one of my Most Embarrasing Moments (outdoors) Years ago, when I was in undergrad I often thought I was George of the proverbial jungle. Climbing trees, bouldering any size stones, leaping, jumping.......you get the picture. Well I was on White Clay Creek just outside of...

The sad bottom line truth is that New Jersey has never invested a dime into supporting our cultural landscape in any way shape or form. The looting of sites is nothing new and as long as money is not invested into site protection, namely in fences, this will continue. I say fences because they...

As a ranger at Independence Hall folks would ask regularly "You love the 18th century, you'd probably want to live then right?" My answer "No Ma'am, I'm a big fan of indoor plumbing." It's easy for us to romanticize the past without using the correct context. For years the Park Service did it...

Just wanted to say that I wrote the paragraph about worst experiences with no ill will or attempt at mocking Christianity. I know plenty of fine Christians that are part of my social life and family. It was not meant to be insulting to Christians of any particular sect, Im sorry if some found...

Thank you, its nice to be back again.

I have been an avid hiker my entire adult life. While I do enjoy group outings and sharing a nice campfire sometimes I like a night under the stars alone. The downside is obvious; injury, mis-navigation, negative encounters, etc. I always follow strict rules on day or overnight yaking or...

What strikes me with this, and many other 18th and 19th century documents, is the general citizenry's ability to adapt and change.The late 20 and 21st century sees the general person fall into a job and location and stay there for 30 plus years. Not so in earlier times. I write it off to the...

Saw this guy in my yard a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks all, its good to be back.

Back at you Jerseyman, always good strong South Jersey cultural discussions between us. Please feel free to drop by or line....let the rev. war talks ring anew!!!

Honestly, I really miss spending the amount of time on forums here that I did in the past. Reading the trip reports, scheduling outings, and just general Pines talks always made for time well spent. I always looked at responses as excellent little writing exercises. About a year and a half...

Been forever since I posted here, but great to be back. Why don't you bite off a little stretch and see how it works out for you, then go from there? Maybe Batsto to Lower Forge campsite. If you set up a relay car you can hike out to the Carranza Memorial. Or maybe Carranza to Pakim Pond...

Is it that time again already? Sorry I'll be out of the area, else I'd attend for sure. This never fails to be a good time. On a similar note, I may be attending Mayhem on the Mt. Bluegrass Festival outside of Morgantown WV next weekend.

Good advise already I think. Look into college diploma courses perhaps, not only will you get the path you want, but it may lead you to a more well rounded education then the computertraining.com offers. Best of luck, work hard, kick some butt.

Thanks all, your words have soothed me over, and for that I thank you. This really is a nice looking hike, coming up Martha with some Penn swamp hopping thrown in. This has made me a little more confident not to change my plans, just make a wee alteration to them. Danke

Excellent advise Bob, thanks. With my line of work Im usually skiddish about trespassing, but the detour may work out to be just fine Thanks again for the thought.:mrgreen:

Just wanted to bump this up in hopes that somebody may have an idea an just didn't post. I could really use some ideas. Thanks all.

Folks, Some of my bping friends and I have been planning a trip starting at Bodine Field, following Martha and old Martha Rd up through Andrews Rd. to Allen Rd, crossing a swamp off of Lake Oswego and into Penn State Forest. Problem is Andrews rd. is gated at a certain point. Anybody...
