Must have been a heck of an accident. The road was closed for some time. Gillian

Anybody know why Jackson Road was closed yesterday? I was heading east from Hopewell Rd/Rt 73 area along Jackson and found the road blocked just before Atco Speedway. Traffic was being directed to the right into the housing area there. After hitting one dead end and turning around (I found...

I didn't realize that there was a list yet. I thought that we were still waiting for a list. Gillian

Looks kike Fort Dix won't be getting the axe in the upcoming base closings. Those are the sorts of training facilities that are at the larger bases, namely Fort Bragg, NC have. Gillian

The one that Boyd and I saw was earlier in the week and on route 70 a little after noon. It was a real 'bang up' week for the police, huh? Gillian

Not long ago I was on Jackson Road driving from Medford to Atco. A guy pulls up beside me and asks for directions to someplace. I told him that I couldn't help him but since he wasn't familiar with the area maybe he should just go back over to Medford and ask directions at the gas station or buy...

I saw that. It was before the tow truck got there. I only got a quick look, but it seemed as though he'd backed into a ditch. I did notice that just a few yards east of him the ground was much more level by the tree line. He was probably looking at that as he backed into the hole. Gillian

I'm willing to cheat! I wanted to reply before I did though. If I can drive all or most of the way to something that I want to see or have good directions for a moderate walk, I feel much safer. All of the places that I visit are areas where you're more than likely to run into other people...

I was wondering what that was. Most gun clubs have a sign. Further up the road, other side there is a lightly wooded area with maybe a couple of cellar holes and part of a foundation wall maybe 30 yards back. What was that? I emailed someone and found out that one of the places that I came...

wilderness - 1 a (1) : a tract or region uncultivated and uninhabited by human beings (2) : an area essentially undisturbed by human activity together with its naturally developed life community b : an empty or pathless area or region. remote - 1 : separated by an interval or space greater...

Was it last year? the year before? that an elderly guy drove through a farmers market - not around here. It made the national news. There was another similar story out around the same time. Both happened about the same way. Person hit the gas instead of brake and in a panic pressed down harder...

Yep, and I suspect they're in Montana. Gillian

I haven't spent any time down there, haven't been to the pond. Sometimes the illusion of remote is good enough. Last year I decided to go to Bear Swamp Hill for the first time. I made a wrong turn. I later figured out that I was on Cabin Road and had spent half an hour/45 minutes walking along...

If you pan north from there across 72, there's a group of clearings which from the air look like scattered alphabet letters. Must be NJ's version of crop circles. Gillian

Guy, I've been to the ph32 site at least a couple of times. Nice pictures and history. I checked out some maps (more recently the Google maps,thanks Boyd) and figured out where it was. I wasn't quite sure where to park and walk in with all of the private property around there. I'm guessing...

The cranberry packing house is gone and has been for some time. I moved to that area in 1996 and it wasn't there. A few years ago the road from Bartons Run was extended from Tuckerton over to Taunton at the King's Grant main entrance. A traffic light was added at that time. Just down the road a...

It looks like a restaurant, that was my first thought. Maybe they should serve barbeque to hungry hikers in the summer. There's nowhere right around there to eat, they'd corner the market.

Thanks. I just looked up fike and didn't get the sort of information that I wanted. Gillian

What is a fike? I've never heard that term before. Gillian

Fascinating photo's and story of Gunkanjima. I wonder if there are any rats and roaches left on the island? Japan is such a populace country, do you think that the plans for the luxury condo's and yacht basid are being drawn up? Gillian
