    Ghost towns and their post offices

    Barry, Thanks, I seem to recognize more from South Jersey than I do of North Jersey. I can only attribute that to Father Beck. I do recognize some of these North Jersey POs. WalPack is next to the Delaware on the Old Mine Road and Waterloo is about 15 minutes from my home. Thanks for...

    I sent you an email a couple days ago, to your Earthlink address. I don't know if you ever saw it. Maybe it didn't go through. Barry, I have received over 500 messages within the last two days. Apprently my hosting company,not erathlink, isn't pro-active when it comes to filtering out...

    Red Oak Grove (and Union Clay Graves)

    I had asked this a while back, but noone seemed to know. If I remember correctly, Guy thought the road had been changed since then. Renee Renee, It has changed a lot since I was there last which was only a year ago, I believe. There's a big clearing on both sides of the road. Barry...

    Red Oak Grove (and Union Clay Graves)

    Hello Steve, I just wanted to make sure it was alright mentioning about a trip other than the Pines. I believe most people would really enjoy it. I think the fall would be nice since the trees would be turning color. The view is awesome from High Point and Stokes state forest. There are...

    Red Oak Grove (and Union Clay Graves)

    Yes, that's the story. So far, it's the only story that my wife has been interested in. She isn't a piney or Beck fan yet but I leave the Beck books near her PC all the time in hopes that she will start reading the many great stories so she will become a fan. I did a lookup on Jersey Wagon...

    My connection to a Western ghost town

    Barry, I wasn't going to post this since I thought nobody would be interested in this since it was out of state. Now, that I've read your post I wanted to show you and the others that there's also another Ghost town in California with the name of CALICO. http://www.calicotown.com/ Ken

    Something stinks

    Take a look at this article. Anyone hear to take a *wild* guess as to what this might be? Perhaps, the Jersey Devil died :lol: http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index.ssf?/base/news-4/1060234297245220.xml

    trip report for 8-2 and 8-3-03

    I must have just missed you as I was in several of the place you went to. First I noticed that just before you get to Apple Pie Hill, there are two brick pillars in what appears to look like a small driveway. I'm not talking about the pillars when you're make the right from 542. This is just...

    A smaller URL?

    Glad to hear everyone knows about it. I don't see the newer e-mail clients having the URL break as often as it did in the past.

    A smaller URL?

    If you even need to shorten a link, here's a few sites that can help: http://www.makeashorterlink.com/ http://tinyurl.com/ ex: http://www.njpinebarrens.com is now: http://tinyurl.com/izfl Not the greatest example since this is a good size URL but if you have a long URL that gets...

    Find a lost town

    I came across this site looking for Brindletown. Amazing that it did generate several sites; one of which has names of people that lived there. The other can be found here http://openreference.net/countries/us/?state=NJ&town=brindletown You can type in the name of say Brindletown or...

    Olde Stone House Village

    I know this is somewhat off-topic so I though there might be enough interest in here to discuss. Has anyone ever been here? I did a search but only places in NY show up. http://www.nj.com/news/gloucester/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1059459324286170.xml...
