    Abby, Which house?, PM me if you feel it best. Being of the hinterlands of Waterford I am pretty familiar with Atco. I have an Idea of were you mean. The "Waterford", not Atco library ( forgive that arrogance ) is quaint but the faculty you will find are somewhat short on the local history...

    Lower Bank, Green Bank

    Jeff, I've met him at 2 book signings and one other event and spoken to him at length in the past. Of course I would not expect him to recognize me and at first, no lie, I wasn't 100% sure it was him, He was unloading his truck of something and going in to the house adjacent to the church and...

    Atsion Mansion

    Jerseyman, That rather detailed document seems like it would serve as good a template for restorations as most drawn documents. Very interesting and thanks for sharing. I have noticed by the way that a good deal of info on the bid proceedings can be found online. I just hope it keeps moving...

    Lower Bank, Green Bank

    Sorry to revive a thread so late, just getting to it. I took off Friday and took a cruise up to LBI. On the way I stopped at Cavileer's and yes, it is much like Scott said and as I remember it. My boat ramp is still a straight shot off the road. I drove onto it and the wife was none too pleased...

    Atsion Mansion

    I'll have to go with Jerseyman on this one. Regarding another thread on the topic, concerns were expressed as well. I expect there will be specific contractors targeted to bid and safety standards adhere no matter what. I am very interested in the goings on at Atsion Mansion and do believe that...

    Lower Bank, Green Bank

    I enjoy knocking around that whole area, good memories from my youth in some of the stops on the way to Tuckerton for fishing & crabbing. It has been sometime since I have used that clam house. It used to be a staple in parties we had years back. A clam run down to Cavileers with my Uncle was...

    Fire in Wharton

    Nice captures of the copters Ben. They are impressive to see in the state in which they transport water. I believe you were at Batsto last year, but I do not know if you saw the demonstration. When they dip in, they are leisurely but when they come out those motors are working with that load of...

    Calico With Pics

    Jim, Looks like you covered yourself some ground. Some wise choices in your driving decisions. Seems the pics are coming along. I myself favor the one of the canal. Nice spot. Glad it was enjoyable & thanks for sharing. I'm still waiting for that late Fall weather for walkabouts. G.

    Fire in Wharton

    I simply can not escape this smoke! Just this afternoon my car started to smell a little normal. One hour ago I walked out 'cause I thought I smelled smoke.Well, round Figure I'm about 4 miles West of 206 and a handful more of that South from Atsion. My entire woods surrounding me and all the...

    Train kills girl on ATV

    This morning, went to the girl who cuts my hair. Long time friend. She took both her teen kids to the viewing. They both knew her. My friend's husband said the amount of people in attendance was staggering. Very difficult for his kids. Her son 17, is more or less sure he is selling his quad...

    Fire in Wharton

    206 still an issue 8:30 A.M. After last post I went down to the post office and a confused driver was directed to me because I'm from "Out that way". How quaint. Seems he took Chew road/536 from 30 to get up 206 to Stokes in Medford and was turned away. After setting him proper I decided to go...

    Fire in Wharton

    I believe the smoke even in the not so near vicinity of any fire to be decieving in these woods. You could just as easily think a fire was right on top of you that is far away or have one at your heels and not realize it. Funny stuff the way it is driven through and above the trees. It really...

    Paintball Legality?

    While I've got no beef with paintballers, I'll have to go with the group on the crap they leave. RednekF350 may not be on of late but he can attest. There is a group I figure not but a few hundred yards from his house in the woods. CRAP EVERYWHERE from what I've seen riding or walking back...

    Train kills girl on ATV

    I really haven't been on the site that much this week, sort of fried from work, but so many things came to light I am just so sad. The girl was the daughter of friends of my mom & dad. Mom called crying. They were distant to me so any time I ever met her long ago she was but a wee thing. One of...

    Fire in Wharton

    I came off Chew road to go North 206 at exactly 6:05 this eve'. Meeting James U. @ the pic. Coming up 206 I drove right into it.As soon as you hit the bend on the lake, the smoke and backfire was right there. I couldn't get my windows up quick enough & got drenched in smoke. Foul! I was...

    Train kills girl on ATV

    Let me throw this out there. This was tragic and should not have happened but I've been there on all counts. It is not hard to miss the train coming. Please do not think I feel any of this is funny but as an ATV rider I feel I should put this out there. Don't screw around on active rails...

    Wild Cherries

    My Uncle in Sweetwater, that's his answer to all fruits. I swear he'd do it to acorns. I found it a darned site easier for a lay person to make a "brandy" if you will. Does make for some vicious fruit too if you just want to eat whichever berry!! As you'll notice in the woods by the way as I...

    Wild Cherries

    I am blessed to have many on mine & my father's property. Just had two monster sized models removed 2 months ago. They are indeed ripening and I love this time. Good stuff. Years back I made wine from them. Messy & annoying, decent outcome. They do however when fallen make for many bees & ripe...

    What was there?

    In the 90's that Bellhaven family was a good customer of mine and when the movie company for the Denzel Washinton movie "FALLEN" filmed out there I was the supplier of most of the electrical for the set. I believe the area you speak of was part of it. The movie was dark spirited but if anyone...
