Dave (uuglypher), This other Dave (aserdaten) has a few years on you, having been hatched way back in 1930. I've been retired (from NJ State Government) since July 1961, and have spent all except my first three summers down here in Central Florida. I tried living late April thru early...

Yes, I am the one and only aserdaten, at least on this web site (there is another one somewhere, as per Google). Name is Dave Quaid, formerly of Toms River, Brick and Hamilton (Mercer Co.) Townships in NJ; now retired and residing in Ormond Beach (just north of Daytona Beach) in Florida. I...

Boyd, Thanks for the suggestion for Entirely Pets - looks like a pretty good deal; will have to look further into it later today. One of my two lads pulled an all-nighter last night, and when I woke up quite early this AM, found him at the front door. But at about 1:30 he was nowhere to...

My two cats here in Central Florida are allowed out only a few hours each night, but sure manage to collect more than their share of fleas and bring them into the house when they return. As a result, I set off several bug bombs yesterday which should improve the situation. Down here the local...

Guy, Much to my regret at this point in my life, I wasn't into photography much in those days. I just wandered around down there, often looking up places that had been written up in Beck's and perhaps other books, such as Buckingham, Aserdaten, Forked River Mountains, Apple Pie Hill, Bamber...

Could that possibly have been the ice cream stand that once stood at the intersection of NJ 70 and County 539 in Whiting? That was before a Wawa was built there some 15 to 20 years ago (more or less). But back in the 50's thru 70's I used to prowl around the Pine Barrens quite a lot, and have...

That makes it a lot better, Guy; thanks for the effort. Was most interested in details for the Whiting area, since I lived there the first three years after retirement in 1991. But that was in Crestwood Village, which lies to the northeast just beyond the covered area. Guess y'all are...

Can this be enlarged enough so that the MP labels don't overwhelm the map (aerial photo)? I could only enlarge it once, and it was pretty confusing to follow. But a great idea, anyway!

how to buy an old property Forgot to mention that once you have determined the parcel number (or possibly they refer to it as lot and block numbers), the tax office will have the name and address of the owner(s) on file, and you should be able to take it from there. A local owner would...

how to buy an old property Can't speak for Atlantic County specifically, but you can access the web site of most counties and look for the property assessor's link thereon. That should steer you to the information you need. Hopefully you can access the info directly, and if you're lucky...

Garmin Maps I can recall many years ago that Rockwood used to be on most gas station road maps, with a straight road shown leading to it from Route US 206. For whatever reason I never got around to driving down that road -- perhaps it had a gate or wire rope blocking it off, I don't remember...

That pictured lake sure looks like a nice swimming hole, although not in the foreground where the water (and probably the bottom) looks a bit yucky. Hope there are no alligators there. This lake looks a bit like the Heritage Minerals lake just south of Lakehurst, where I used to swim...

Piney --- Enter "Family Empire in Jersey Iron" in Google search engine. --- Dave, Ormond Beach

Is a "tree tunnel" road the same as a "canopy road". where trees growing on both sides spread branches so as to shade the entire roadway? That kind of so-named road is common in this part of Central Florida, and there are often signs at the beginning of each section advising motorists of the...

Renee, Down here in Central Florida, the Food Lion stores get in the newspapers quite a bit, and usually not in a favorable light. Apparently poor treatment of employees seems to be the primary reason. I'd better not comment further on the subject, other than to say they are #3 among...

NOW FIGHT NICE, EVERYONE !!!

Nice research and pictures, Renee; thorough and excellent job! -- aserdaten

Could Stockton College's "Blue Hole" by any chance be the borrow pit near the Parkway where students and others have gone swimming for many years? When I was living in Ocean County some 15 to 20 years ago this place was written up as being "clothing optional". I have never heard of any borrow...

Jeff --- And don't forget to bring your GPS device with you so that you won't get hopelessly lost! --- Dave

I've forgotten about 90 pct of all the math I ever learned, but that woodchucking equation sure looks fishy!
