I for one say there has to be something (or someone?) out there..to quote George Carlin: "If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little." :mrgreen:

Interesting. I kinda miss seeing the A-10's fly over like when I was younger. Just about every time I went into the Pines, there were one or two of them flying over from McGuire.

Welcome! I concur with dragonfly - this site is a great source for information!

Arthur Pierce states in Iron in the Pines, there was a Washington Forge along the Batsto River, north of Quaker Bridge. I think this may have been another name for Lower Forge. Perhaps that is what he was referring to...

I came across an explanation for the tree at Martha today. In the "Journal of Chemical Education" from 1930 was the following" "...first furnaces were in many cases large gum trees hollowed out and lined with clay. The hearth was of clay a foot thick..." The furnace had a hearth of clay at...

There's one at Martha I believe :)

Welcome! Have fun out there! Let us know where you've been exploring.

Thanks Gail! :) Glad to have the mystery solved. Do you know if there was an article written about naming the hill?

Sounds like a plan :mrgreen: Ought to find the person and seize their house - turn it into a recovery center for wounded animals.

I thought it was just me - thanks :dance:

Yes - 20 years ago. I should have a picture of it around here someplace. If I can find it, I'll post it here.

Nice post. There was a gun club located near Ives Lake in Bass River State Forest. It was there twenty years ago and since that time has burned down. Not sure when. It was called the Highland Park Field & Stream Club across from where Tub Mill Road joins Martha Road.

You should get an Elmer Fudd hat :mrgreen: Hope ya heal quick dude! Take care

That's great!! :rofl:

Welcome! Hope you have fun! :) The Pines are a great place to explore. Myself, I'll be hiking from Carranza to Batsto (hopefully) tomorrow! Should be a good day.

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate of the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. :mrgreen:

The only problem with cats is they were worshipped by the Egyptians and are never going to let us forget it. ;)

I thought that was an interesting idea...and the way the skyscrapers would become a whole new form of vertical ecosystem. Then I thought that after the structures fail, whole ecosystems would be wiped out. Even after man is long gone, we can still leave a mark......

If it has pink blazes, it's the Batona Trail...if not then it's something else. I'm not sure what the second trail could be. The Batona continues closer to 72, joins the Cranberry Trail (red blaze), follows it to the end then turns right toward Pakim Pond.

There's nothing like a walk through the Barrens....I practically grew up in the woods and loved to poke through the cedar bogs and just generally explore. It can be a tiny bit disconcerting, especially in an area far away from a paved road without the sound of cars, for the uninitiated. I only...
