    Ruins in south side of Allaire State Park

    They may have been but they look older. That cranberry business is from era where I think wooden pulleys would be replaced by metal ones but just my thoughts

    Is that stuff still there? It was on the concrete pad foundations long time ago but I thought it was gone.

    Ruins in south side of Allaire State Park

    Yes, def part of former cranberry farming there. About 20 years ago there was a bunch of stuff stored there that looked like it might have been in an old mill like nearby Squankum. Then it disappeared. I remember there was an old sled that horses would pull among the pile. The cops have a...

    Howell Ruins

    I was letting the admins know that the person is talking about trespassing and hoping it would be discouraged. It was very upsetting what happened to that place.

    Howell Ruins

    That area is off limits. Trespassers destroyed several historic buildings. This site should not be encouraging trespassing.

    Hampton Gate Hotel

    I tended to think that the "Gate" referenced a dam gate but that is not based on anything other than my hunch.

    Interesting Article

    It says that project was approved with a 8-4 vote with one abstention but that a unanimous vote is required to approve the project. Also says that his vote was the deciding vote but it doesn't sound like it was. Whatever the case, this is more bad, corrupt stuff from Christie admin. He is the...

    anyone with info on old house near batsto ?

    The Christie admin stopped funding a lot of State owned housing, parks, recreational areas. They tore down bunch of buildings that were on State lands at Allaire State Park and they also stopped maintaiing the parks as well. The roads through the pines on State land....guess who got those funds?

    Heart of the Pines on Ebay for $55

    Just a heads up for anyone looking for a great price on that book. I think it typically goes for a lot more. I already have a copy so don't need it.

    Munyon Field

    A most elusive spot for sure. I can't remember where I came to think so, but I believe there was a structure there although I never knew if it was a house or other. There is definitely evidence of former residential activity there. I remember coming across a very old woman's shoe (witch type)...

    Not the Blue Hole Again ?

    At least the dopes can't really do anything to the Blue Hole to damage anything. Better there than Brooksbae

    Fagan's Cave

    I'm pretty sure I know the property where the "cave" supposedly used to be. There's nothing to see though and I don't think anyone alive can point to any specific spot where it was.
