A pickled pickerel packing pond.

It started out as a paper mill in the late 1800's and did not succeed. They tried to use salt hay for the paper and it didn't make a very good product. After the paper mill failed a pickle company from Philadelphia bought it in the early 1900's, with the intention of packing local produce. There...

Nice photo!!!

I heard some Sunday - I swear its the earliest I can recall hearing them.

Not sure if this the right section to post this in, but I was wondering if anyone recalls where the camping area at Calico used to be. I recall camping there many times as a youth, and it was not far from the Oswego. When did the state close the area down? Was it ever an "official" campground? amf

Funny, I had an almost identical experience poking up a small canyon in the Black Hills. You KNOW you don't want to go there! amf

I didn't know the swamp was now part of the refuge. I've often thought it wouldn't take much to dig a canal from Dennis Creek to Cedar Creek and make the whole of the Cape May peninsula an island. Probably could be done with hand shovels!

When the plans were being developed in Cumberland County there was a lot of effort to get places like Laurel Lakes, a heavily developed area with tiny lots all on individual well and septic systems, most with a high water table, in some kind of sewer service area. The state completely balked...

Regarding Ft Elfsborg, there's literally nothing to see. Nice little strip of beach, but the site of the fort is presumably beneath the waters of the Delaware. Regarding Ft Christina Park in Wilmington, I've never seen it open and have been past it on weekends and midweek in variious seasons...

When I lived in Greenwich I recall the long time residents always mentioned a cranberry bog on Piney Mount that was supposed to be one of the earliest bogs in New Jersey. Wasn't managed like the modern bogs are; was probably a wild bog that was improved on for harvesting. There were also...

I love it there. They have provided wifi to the local towns, but its still a good excuse to say sorry, no reception when the boss tries to get a hold of you.

Good to see some folks finally getting respect around here, though... "Sir" indeed... next it will be "Your Highness"...;)

Didn't a branch of the JC go down to Caviar / Bayside in Greenwich?

That's too bad. A former boss of mine used to farm those bogs and was quite proud of them.

Its the old Inversand glauconite mine. Been there for years - should produce lots of hits if you google it.

Thanks for the correction re hip vs gambrel! One of the older gambrel houses I recall was the Wasson house (owner when I lived there, I forget the original name). Small wooden home, across the street and just past the Gibbon House, dated from the 1680's if I recall. Another from the late 1600's...

The claim to antiquity of the Reeve house has always puzzled me, since all the other old houses from the 1600's in the town tend to be of a hip roof design. The only thing I can figure is that the first floor of the left wing in the picture may have had a hip roof that was removed when the...

Nothing surprising there. Every microsquat release since the Days of Dos has followed a pattern of a good OS followed by a dog.

I can see the headline now... drone crashes into Harrisville ruins, walls collapse!:D Seriously, some great footage and certainly a unique perspective! You do wonder how those walls remain standing. In the earthquake a few years back there was a building in Bridgeton that came down!

Used to be a patch of them in the woods where the walmart sits in Berlin. Truly a stunning flower.
