My friend saw a Bobcat last year in Jackson Township and I saw a river otter in the Manasquan River last year, too. I didn't know what it was since I never heard of river otters in the squan before. It looked like it was dying so I got a game official, but when we got there it was gone. Th game...

C'mon, why don't we just SELL this story to Weird NJ and let their fans burn the house down. Although, that story is typical of modern folklore and I think it's cool, it is totally ridiculous. An old woman named Hattie Berry (maiden name = Chew) lived there and she died alone in the house. The...

I know the one you're talking about. It is the former dwelling of Hattie Chew. It's too bad noone takes care of it. It's obvious that she died and did not have an interested family member, who wanted to gather the belongings together. I've been inside of it and am lucky I didn't get arrested...

I remember an earlier thread (approx 2 mos. ago) that described finding a cleared area with some large cut down trees east of Woodmansie. The description in the Down Jersey book also talks about how the road from Old Half Way intersects the road he is on. It looks like of the two roads that head...

God, I hate that guy so much. Do they think we are as stupid as to not be able to see this for what it is. First his "Forest Protection INitiative" (or whatever) where he plans to protect our forests from fire by cutting them down. And now, this total bullshit program to install oil rigs in our...

This is cool because I studied with John Sinton at Stockton in the 90's. I don't think I was aware that he wrote this book though. I took an environmental class with him. Everyone thought he was a cool guy. He would invite students over for small parties at his house. Thanks for bringing it to...

Went back and photodocumented my findings at Mary Ann Furnace/Forge. I posted the pics. Hope this link is the way to direct you'all there: http://www.njpinebarrens.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album109&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php I've seen...

I bake my own too. I mix Frank's Red Hot with garlic powder, butter, and a little bit of brown sugar. To thicken the sauce I just add more butter. A way to thicken any sauce is to add a little bit of flour dissolved in water. I think you want some kind of coating. It would be easy to do if...

I want t thank the person who uploaded the Allaire document. I am in the middle of reading it and am finding it to be the best source material I have come across for the Howell Works site as of yet! I live in Wall Twp. which contains the village and we are always most interested in this site. It...

It would be great to be able to freely roam Brindle Town and Cranberry Hal areas among others. I swam across Brindle Lake last summer to venture into the main part of Brindle Town and started to see a lot of helicopters and "pops" so I was nervous and didn't go too deep. I think they purposely...

Yes, I hope it happens again! That's equally cool about the people met at Friendship. He told me he doesn't believe the area had been thoroughly discovered yet. His name is Don Taylor and his grandparents were Lucy and George. I left him my number and he said he would contact e with pictures if...

I was out exploring today and went from Ong's Hat toward Mary Ann Forge which I had never looked for before. I got a little sidetracked but met with success I hadn't expected. While looking at an old map I was approached (via a green pick-up with the window coming down) by two men and two...

Just wanted to display a word of caution for some Ebay people. I have been seeing listings for books by a particular seller who never lists the book title or author. The seller lists a book with pics and references that entice people into thinking it's some kind of rare book. If you inquire...

I found one (1) of my three (3) cats next to a bowling alley about 2 years ago. He was in bad shape and covered with grease. We named him "French Fry" since we think he ws covered in grill grease from nearby dumpsters. He looked real sick, so I brought him to a vet. They checked him and said he...

He didn't mention a marker. Is it an old property boundary marker? Yeah, I don't think he wanted to disclose it.

My Father and I were poking around Speedwell a couple of weeks ago when we were intercepted by Mr. Lee, a young man in his early to mid thirtees. At first, his presence was of aggressive interest as to our being on his land. He introduced himself and asked what we were doing on the property. He...

Barry, I agree with everything you said. I only wish all people could be able to decide what's best for each area. Yes, I was referring to the Marlboro Slaughterhouse.

The topic I started regarding responsible exploring and not taking artifacts was interestingly deleted from discussion by the admin, I suppose. Any reason why? Seemed a little bit weird.

I agree and believe that almost everyone on this site truly respects our places of interest. BTW, did it seem like the information on Pasadena provided in this month's Weird NJ was acquired from this site? It's possible that he went and did the same research that was done by the person on this...

I am definately noticing that the little pieces of history are disappearing at many spots this web page discusses. The message board for this site is WAY too powerful a resource. I love it, but I feel it is harming what we love due to the few who are abusing it. Sorry, but can't help my feelings...
