    on the road to Carranza

    To Pineypower It sounds like you found the old Sandy Ridge site. This has just been recently discoverd by some in the group. Lucky me, I always knew about it because my father lived there as a toddler. He had showed me this site when I was a little girl. Later when I moved to Tabernacle, an...

    New Jersey's Forgotten People

    animals & food We all come from different walks of life, and what one is exposed to, another is exposed to the opposite. I recall vividly, growing up so poor...many times all we had was deer meat or rabbit to live off of. Still today, being a single mom, money is very tight. If someone offeres...

    on the road to Carranza

It's an old two story red weathered board house. It too has been known as Sooy Place as well as the...

    Have a fun weekend....

    You must be a good father to feel guilty about missing one or two games. Hey, at least you go to the majority, that is better then alot of "dads" I know. No matter how much we love something, we must remember that resposibility comes first. We need to take care of our familys and homes. Without...

    Chesterfield & Crosswicks

    Today, my friend Barbara and I went on a drive searching for historic sites. We started out trying to reach New Egypt and Chesterfield area by going through Ft. Dix. I haven’t been in this area for years and didn’t expect the changes. New roads have been paved through what was once...

    Chaseworld

    Fox Hounds I remember being woke up at day break on Sunday mornings at Sooy Place, by the moaning music of the fox hounds. The owners would park right in front of our house and let them out. The dogs would run for hours across the cranberry bog dams then into the swamps. It is common for the...

    $15.00 a cord

    If that was so, the whole woods would be cut down! I've seen cords of wood go for $100. Was it an older lady you talked to in the office? Sometimes people will tell you anything just to be rid of you. Or maybe, the wood for $15 a cord is for the people camping at Atsion. It could be who ever...

    Dead body near Chew Road

    Body found on Chew Road I know this has been awhile ago, but I just joined up here. I didn't hear anything about the body being found. With all of us always going in the woods, its a wonder more bodies haven't been found. The pines have been a dumping ground for years for bodies. From the mafia...
