thks great info and insights.....thks a ton. silly question, but what's the typical practice when kayaking alone (one vehicle, one kayak). Say I wanted to put in at Quaker Bridge and paddle down to Batsto (stash the kayak & hike?)....call a taxi?

Mhs I too have a copy of that book. Softcopy, 176 pages. I think I bought it at Kirby's Mill a couple years ago during the Apple festival. I've been meaning to try and connect with a member of the MHS, anyone on this site a member? thks, ed

Just starting to look into maybe buying a kayak. Looking for something to take me down the Mullica, Batsto, etc. - mostly short trips. Something easy to carry/light, yet tough. Does anybody have experience with inflatables in the Pines? How much should one expect to spend? Ocean kayaks...

Music at Goshen I would love to come and hear some live music. Goshen is close to me, so it would be quite easy to swing over and meet some of you folks. SJ is seriously lacking in venues for live/pickup music and having something like this sounds like a great idea.

Can you point me to that map? Best I can tell, it's very close to the State Forest boundry and I was hoping because of it's elevation - it may provide a drier route/path from the "hook" part of Wharton (between Atsion & Jackson Rds) down to Old Jackson/Acto Rd (near the intersec with Atsion...

Is anybody familair with the the history/area around Sharp's Mountian? Who was Sharp? Similarly, Jackson Mountain (and Road). Who were these folks and from what time period did they leave their mark? thks

saw mill layouts Does anyone have (or know of) blue prints or design information for Saw Mills? I thought I remembered seeing something on this site - but it may have been this old catalog - which is very cool. thks

Bears in da woods I noticed they had the state info card about how to deal with bears at Batsto, but figured it was not locale specific. I would bet a Forest Ranger would know for sure, or a good hunter familiar with the area. Anybody know a Wharton Ranger with the scoop (official/...

Bears in Wharton? I happened upon a large Black Bear at daybreak while riding along old Mine Rd. couple miles south of Dingman's Ferry Bridge last year. That experience got me thinking about bears in NJ and if they might be in Wharton, which is just a couple miles from me here in Medford...

Land Pres Ah, I did not notice the ref to 313 on that sign. I've gone as far as that sign - so it would seem the West Jersey Cranberry Meadows is 313 Land that has an additional license for bird hunting. There are other yellow signs down the powerline easement, north of WJCM around...

313 Has anyone seen the yellow posted signs that say "Land Preservation 313"? Clueless as to what that means -- private, public ? Anyone know ? Maybe a Medford thing? The bogs (Jobstown) must have been abandon for some time, there are lots of mature Oak, Birch, Cedar trees growing in...

ah ha - good info Thanks Guy, This site is great, should have found it long ago. I've been asking folks about this area for a year without much result. So I guess my place backs up to the old Jobstown Bog -- the maps in that thread are spot-on. With these facts, I'm sure I can find out...

Recently moved to the area, exploring Wharton/Lebenon on weekends trips. Interested in finding out about the history/background of some abandoned bogs that boarder Wharton in Medford. Posted signs say "Land Preservation 313", but other signs in the area say State Forest. Anybody know what...
