Yea, it's the same link. I was hoping someone could identify the property where this house once stood?

The movie RAMBO got its name from the early Swedish settlers in "New Sweden" who had the surname Rambo. The most prominent being John Rambo. I am trying to figure out where his house would have stood...

How many rounds is an AR-15 capable of firing before requiring to be reloaded? How many rounds is a Remington Hunting Rifle capable of firing before requiring to be reloaded?

That truck does not look anywhere near close enough to being able to cross that hole. Wonder what the driver was thinking.

I live 1 mile from the wreck. Other than it being like a war zone in town, it has not really affected us too much. Noone asked me to evacuate and I have not smelled any chemicals. OEM, fire, police from all local municipalities all over town and news vans camped out too.

Looking for old maps of Pedricktown. If someone could point me in the right direction, please? I appreciate it.

See, I don't understand the preservation rules. I once called the Green Acres office and spoke to one of the administrators. He told me any property acquired with Green Acres funding requires that "reasonable public access" be made to the property. He also told me that no "no trespassing"...

That is really cool. According to this link, it looks like bobcats live in Pedricktown? http://www.conservewildlifenj.org/species/fieldguide/view/Lynx%20rufus/

http://archive.org/stream/notesonoldglouce01stew/notesonoldglouce01stew_djvu.txt If you search that page for "The King's Highway", the story is a fascinating read about the early life and inhabintants of the area. It mentions Tatem Oak and it appears it was once the 4th largest oak in NJ. I...

Yes, thats the one.

39.884055,-74.869534 Google Maps On Tukerton Rd in Marlton, this Green Acres site is home to a colonial era windmill. Anyone have any info on the property?

Brings up a lot of questions for me too. Is "suresue"'s old house of historical significance? Who is the current property owner or the large piece of land? Just up the road from there is "johnson place". What is it and is it worth exploring?

Please suggest for me a good starting point location for a hike on the Batona Trail. I am a beginner hiker so assume it is all "new" to me. Thanks!

Ben, thanks for checking. Too bad though, my hard drive crashed 2 years ago so all those pics are gone for good.

These would be pics that I uploaded back in 2003/2004. Any chance of recovering them?

You beat me to it but I found the map (1877 Hopkins map). I actually went to a yard sale at the house just across Kings Hwy from the location of that tollgate and they did have a few small buildings on the property. Perhaps one of them was the toll house.

Jerseyman: I am desperatley trying to find the correct map. The one I am thinking of depicts a tollgate at the intersection of Mantua Grove Rd (Parkville Station Rd) and King's Hwy.

It is indicated on an old map as "Paradise". Curiously, there is an indication of a Graveyard not too far from there. Looks like it was possibly where I-295 runs presently?

http://www.nj.com/gloucester-county/towns/index.ssf/2012/03/whats_in_a_name_tollgate_road.html Interesting, non-pines related article. Interesting to note that the article states "Other local tales say the Mickleton Toll Gate was a bit further north on Kings Highway". One old map, which...
