I've only seen pictures of it, but I can't imagine those cores ever went anywhere.

:D Thanks-once I got into them I kinda went nuts... Toggling between the new imaging and the old topo/1930s aerial photos is pretty cool up in this area-particularly at Round Valley and Spruce Run reservoirs. Both were constructed in the 1950s/1960s-interesting to see the farms that occupied...

According to this: www.state.nj.us/dep/dshw/lrm/landfillspreadsheet.xl It was an illegal landfill that ceased operation in 1982. My guess is that it was a site where the town used to dump waste of various kinds until the DEP/EPA found out and forced them to shut it down. It says it's 20...

After getting the hang of using NJPB maps I went hog wild and began applying them to the area where I want to take my next big trip: Stokes/High Point/Delaware Water Gap. The Gap is actually closer to me than the pines and we'll probably camp up there in November. Between the land condemned by...

Glad to be of service :D Now that I know how to save tracks on my Nuvi my next episode of getting lost will be much more productive.

No-I started encountering the "whoop-de-doos" as I was ascending a hill. My GPS was working at that point and I think I topped out at about 110' before I began to descend. The "whoop-de-doos" continued until I was back on flat ground. After that I pressed on and eventually found myself on...

Can you show me where the chute is? PM me with it if you like.

For any of you who have followed my Bass River State Forest trip report thread, you know that I'm trying to reconstruct my journey through the northern part of the forest to Martha and then out to Chatsworth Road. I've seen folks who have posted their hikes on here and am wondering how to do it...

This all sounds dead on-that road west of Ives is wild isn't it? What do you think accounts for the unevenness of the road? Can you point out where this is? I don't remember encountering any streams, just some puddles which I made it through. Again, sounds dead on-thanks! Let me know if...

Thanks for posting. I'm piecing more of it together now-there's no way I went through there unless the puddle dried up, which is unlikely from what I've read because it's supposedly fed by a bog. I am betting that after I turned off of Allen onto the unnamed road that follows the Beaver Branch...

I don't think so. I definitely didn't drive through anything like that. I hit a couple of holes that were maybe half a car length long and not very deep. I did drive through some areas where the sand was very wet looking (dark colored as opposed to light) as if the road had been underwater...

On second thought-maybe not quite. I did a little more searching and thanks to my extra large HD monitor at work I think I found the Warren Grove gate that I ran into on Allen: http://goo.gl/maps/LaVnd If you look carefully you can see a dark straight line across the road. Also, this...

I also forgot to mention a funny story. We were cooking the bacon on a griddle over the fire when some of the grease dripped down into it. The whole griddle was engulfed in seconds! The eggs were cooking in a cast iron pan on the other end of the grate so they were unaffected. We had plenty...

Yes-I came out right here: http://goo.gl/maps/grH4C I saw the signs for Bodine Field directly across the road. Some other clues: After I hit the barricade at the bombing range and headed south on Allen I took a right turn and headed east. I wound my way up to about 110' above sea level...

That's what I thought when I saw the blazes. Are motor vehicles prohibited on that part of the road because of the Batona running through there? I'm really curious to know why-I don't think a blacktop road would just deteriorate like that if it were just abandoned and not maintained. There...

Speaking of our renegade swimming at Martha Bridge, we also seemed to get dirty looks from some hikers who were walking toward us from the bridge as we parked our vehicles off of the main road in a pull off. Were we not supposed to be on that road/ie: is it a hiking trail? It was clear that...

Just wanted to make sure you know how much I appreciated all of your efforts. I probably would never have made it to Martha's Bridge or Calico Ridge at all if not for the map!

Aha! Just to be clear Boyd, I was not faulting you or your map in any way (just want to make sure of that-I am thankful for your expertise!)-I had suspected it was my own misunderstanding/misuse of the technology and, what do you know-I was right! :D Anyway, I am now more curious than ever and...

D'oh! Just realized I posted this in the general forum and not trip reports-mods please move-sorry! I had a great weekend in the Pines Saturday and Sunday despite not having a lot of time and not being able to figure out exactly where we were some of the time. I think my Garmin Nuvi is not...

Handy links, thanks. The map confirms that we've been getting more than our share in Hunterdon for sure. I've counted more thunderstorms this summer than in a while. I'm also realizing I misread Gibby's post in another thread. The point was that despite the rain, roads in Bass River are still...
