I get chiggers on me all the time. I usually don't know until I get home since they are VERY hard to see. I usually feel one before I ever know they are there. I have found that they get on my leg hairs and are invisible for the most part because they are just as thin as the hairs themselves...

The inside must be a total disaster. I know once a building is unoccupied that deterioration sets in rapidly. It's a good thing the outside is masonry because it would have fallen down a long time ago with the rest of the buildings. It's a rare building given its historic background in the...

Here is the symbol I was taken from an old map showing the symbol for a hotel or tavern. It looks like what is shown on the scanned map.

The "dot" that is shown at Zeb Collier's place appears to be the typical symbol for a hotel or tavern that I typically see on old maps. It looks like a clef note. The line up from the dot seems to blend into the other detail shown there so it looks like a dot.

Everything is worth a visit, but I can tell you there is nothing there from experience.

Thanks for the great historical research done on this mysterious spot in the Pines. I always imagined that Munion Field was most likely a stage coach stop on the way to Tuckerton since whoever lived there would be well away from everything else. It's location on the stage line would be a...

I just did the walk based on memory and realize now afterreading your post and seeing the "inverted triangle" that I stopped just around that area. I see now that it is much closer to Herbertsville (Squankum Road) then I originally imagined. Yes, maybe a group visit would be fun. I'm up for it.

Very probable and likely since the farmhouse pre-dates Hospital Road. I think the portion of the service road from Hospital Road to the area of the airplane field (which is the location of the old farm there) may be secondary driveway for the old farm perhaps, just based on the fact that no...

walked out that way over the weekend but didn't come across the area of interest. I looked around where the service road turns into the sandy/gravelly area but may not have been in the right location. That sandy area is most definately an old gravel pit, but may have been also formerly part of...

I'm looking at that area and I'm going to guess that this area may have been mined for sand/gravel. You can see that the area that is still sand to the road is stiull recovering from being disturbed. The structures you found may have something to do with an old mining operation. I always...

That is not a house cat...

Hmm, I don't think been to the area you describe unless it is further west along the river. That is a very interesting area in general. Maybe sometime we could meet up and explore the areas we both mentioned.

Oh OK, are you going to the west along the river? If so, did you come out to a big grass field where they fly the model airplanes? If so, there is an old farhouse area there, but teh photos you showed were not what I normally see there. Edit: I think I know where you mean. You're talking...

When you say "old service road" are you talinh about a road that starts in the park or from Herbertsville Road?

There were cranberry bogs at the top of the hill south of the river and west of the village. The dry bogs are still visible and bike trails pass right through them. Maybe you were near this? There is also the remains of an old cranberry packaging facility that consists of a large concrete...

I am very familar with the Allaire area, but not sure where you were. Was this on the south side of the Manasquan River? If not, where was it in reference to the village and river? It's very likely the dumping spot from an old farm in the area, of which this spot, may be the former boundary...

Yes, I apologize if I misunderstood you being light about what I said. Did anyone visit there this weekend?

"Don't move the bricks? Uh-oh...Still, the new patio and rock garden look really cool. Anyway, no river on my map, just an unnamed run that surveyers refer to as Drainage Easement." relayer Your sarcastic remark was totally lame and shows that maybe you aren't as concerned as I am. I agree...

BTW, please don't remove any bricks from the area!

There is nothing left of the tavern except the clearing and driveway. I think I found where the gate was and it is observable by a pile of bricks. It could be something else though.
