    The "Cobra King"

    How disturbing. I hope that the girls' photos on his website are still alive. What a loser!

    Superfund site

    I think Superfund is used when the responsible party is not known, available, or at least not able to pay. The contaminants described incude DNAPL compounds that are denser than water, which are very difficult to treat, and if treated, , the costs are usually very high. They may be able to...

    Atsion property info

    Yes, you're right. I am aware of those houses and they are old. They're not as old as that log cabin at Atsion though. They are mid-1800's and Howell went out of blast forever in the early 1840's so they are contemporary with the Works. I have heard the residents of those houses have addresses...

    Atsion property info

    I'll have a look. I am wondering now if the tax maps will show the majority of the Pine Barrens as one (1) big area of it will contain any individual lots.

    Atsion property info

    I found this very interesting. Those people living at Atsion really appear to be the only people still residing at any former iron furnace town in at least the central and southern portion of the state. I realy hope the people living in the log cabin are able to either sell their house to...

    Bodine's Tavern

    I took a short look around for it once but was not able to locate anything. I don't think I had a specific spot to check though. There is a lot of sand in the area that people drive over where it was so I thought the vehicle activity may have obscured a possible former foundation hole.

    Geocaching en masse; a bad idea?

    Although I have been reluctant to speak on the topic, the geocaching thing is definately a bad thing since they tend to provide coordinates to important places without concern of the result. The technology basically allows a person with no knowledge or understanding of the pines the ability to...

    Weymouth Furnace Diaries

    I think there was some type of epidemic at the time of the diaries. I imagine the type(s) of epidemics from this time could be found out.

    NJ bans bear hunting on state land

    Yes, please...I hope that the reintroduction of bears is met with welcome instead of ignorance (fear and "Jaws" type mentality) They have been present for all of our history and the only stories of attack are due to man-made unnatural (and extremely rare circumstances). I abhor the demonization...

    NJ bans bear hunting on state land

    I am relieved and uplifted to hear some agreement on this situation. I totally expected the usual assault I get when I oppose Bush and these types of topics. Yes, I think it would be better if hunters could temporarily trap their prey and observe them for a brief period and then set them free...

    NJ bans bear hunting on state land

    It is reassuring to see that some people are trying their best to utilize the science of biology in the management of our natural resources. The new idea that science is useless which is cradled by Bush administration means the end of our environmental judgement. In my opinion, the hunters...

    What's your top 5?

    Teegate, Yes I am intererested in seeing any maps of Hanover that you have. I would also love to get involved with a future permitted exploration of Fort Dix areas.

    What's your top 5?

    There was more stuff across from the lake at Brindletown, but you can't get over there, unless you're crazy like me, and swim across! I'll let you know that nothing, and I mean nothing, remains of the former dance hall and mill. I couldn't find a trace, no cellar holes or fragments of...

    What's your top 5?

    I don't think it is off limits, is it? There are residential homes very close and the road is public, although I did get pulled over last time I was out there. I also didn't see the typical signs saying "Impact Zone" or whatever on the sides of the road. I almost wish it was though so those...

    What's your top 5?

    Here are mine: 1) Howell Works 2)Hanover Furnace 3)Gloucester Furnace 4)Harrisville/Martha 5)Weymouth I think I get the most out of the areas that are the most elusive or isolated...have the least left. Allaire is simply a dreamscape that almost allows you to experience what a furnace...

    No Way! Not Another Bear Story

    Yeah this propaganda. The bear did the same thing that the raccoons do to the garbage. Big deal. I liked what the Wildlife Control woman said.

    stuff in the news

    I predicted in an earlier thread that that house would be burned down. I think it's the same one.
