Looks like a vine some of the other pictures show it in more detail. It’s on the straight and narrow!

You’re really making me want to take a venture out there. I’ve been wanting to get a duplicate photo of the one I posted a while back and curious to see if the trees in the photo are still there

Can you pin that on the map I’ve never come across it out there. My post was from the edge of one of the lakes out there

Keep em coming!

Here is a mopar I came across at the very edge of one of the lakes in former NJ Silica Sand Co property (now nature conservancy). It has since been removed in the last few months. Pretty sure it is a Plymouth Valiant I would guess early 70s

A thread where we could post abandoned vehicles found in the pines would be cool. I haven’t found (or at least taken pictures) of any worth making one

I know Al or someone will chime in with some more detailed history, but check out the LiDAR here https://boydsmaps.com/#16.82/39.424752/-74.913100/midatlidar/0.00/0.00 The last thing Bennett’s mill was used for was a cranberry bog which you can see by the hash marks shown here on the LIDAR and...

It seems Manumuskin was a settlement centered around the Fries Mill (where the workers lived etc.) I wonder if Manantico was a settlement similar to Manumuskin was centered around Clark's Mill and was abandoned after Clark's Mill was abandoned Manantico was too. Just a theory. I believe present...

I was wondering that

I wish I could share the article about the passing of the mayflower descendant Louise Banks in 1931. It mentions her and her husband Wilson Banks owning 7000 acres in port Elizabeth and Manumuskin. It also mentions she worked as a telegraph operator in Manumuskin station which is where they...

Here is another one I forgot about that is even more interesting. From 1928. It mentions operations local to me with names still being used informally today such as Tavern Rock and NJ Silica Sand. It also mentions Menantico sand and gravel co being located at Clark’s Mill rather than at...

Awesome. They even included a few on the map in Vineland I’ve never seen actually documented:)

The field does have a gradual hill. The road to the left does have a steep hill. Used to be steeper but they took some off the top at some point long ago when it was repaved. https://boydsmaps.com/#16.87/39.407572/-74.992214/mbx3dspectrum/-6.87/0.00

Very cool. Behind my parent's house in Vineland is a field that has hundreds of these stones around the edges of the field from the farmer removing them while working the field.

I was recently in Moccasin Lake Park in Clearwater they have 2 injured bald eagles that would not survive if released back to the wild. Anyway getting to see those birds up close was impressive. I’ve had plenty of turkey encounters while hunting but never bald eagles.
