Thanks Guy for the Map. I shall put it to use on some free Sunday. I am aware that Rednek does have some interesting insights and info on our region. Seems my source is on the right "track" so to speak. Good clarification of the name by the way. I am sure the years may have muddied his...

A sit down and a human history book. I must be getting daft in my ripe old age of 36! At my disposal is a walking history of the area. Some close family friends and actually distant relations that own the large junkyard near me. The family has been around Waterford for ages. I went over this...

I do not think they play a roll here. Believe it or not they are not as tall to be seen as you might think and they span kind of North of the area in question I think. The Jersey station broadcast towers are very visible. When on Google maps looking on satellite their forms, shadows, cables...

Over the years I have had so many people, no matter how clear a direction I give, attempt to navigate back to my place in Waterford always saying " Oh Yeah right by the towers, no big deal I know exactly where to go ! " Only to get a call when they are hopelessly lost in Hammonton, Winslow, or...

King, By Dutchtown, you do mean right there by the little Junkyard on 206 right?? Looking West one could easily see the NJN towers out our way in Waterford. So ten years ago maybe your guy got crossed up. They are decieving in their location depending on where you are looking from and it's...

Pretty interesting Guy. Great researching especially if you are that strapped for time. Thanks much for the effort!! Now, correct me if I am wrong but does not your Wharton Document (I believe that's what I am seeing), and your Topo, and your Google Map all put the Raleigh project/property on...

Seems like it is already settled but it is obvious that was not ATV work. Whewwww! glad you guys were kidding! And not opposed to us ATV'ers. Sucks about the sign. By the picture do I see that it was cut clean off? What kind of wierdo wants that sign for themselves? Oh well, A scumbag...

LongIsland, Your frustration has probably been felt by many on this board. It's easy to be disgusted when you see it happening. I myself hope the area back my way remains left alone for some time. Not that it makes it better but accepting the reality of time and change helps. Perhaps this...

Thanks, I can't quite remember any references to that and you know what... I've been in the station a few times, even last month and not noticed that. Even though I suspected a different location, many maps I see depict Fruitland as it would seem a little farther up and most list Fruitland...

Guy, to go back, I am sure I saw this on a Rutgers map in the 1800's. I just can't remember which, sorry. RMICKLE had a post back in May with the link if you want to snoop. It was that coupled with the memory of reading the CCHS document I mentioned that got the wheels turning. It is a little...

Raleigh ?? Thought I had seen this on a Rutgers map but took me a minute, it was from the CCHS website regarding Origins/Places, Names. Mostly from Boyer. As always I am sure Jerseyman will have the take on this but I read it as that it was part of a plan as a "rather large development" at the...

The same, Happy thanksgiving to all! Enjoy your families and the time you have together!! g.

Is it at all possible they were just Barracks housing for Bog workers and not a community? Although, (I do this as an edit) I guess in hard definition... any group of people living in a shared interest makes for a community though right.

It's not the supports I doubt in Guy. It is the fact that a few clearance issues were overlooked and that I think that the structure itself could have used more of an underslung type of construction to give it more strength. I have no doubt that you could drive a heavy vehicle over it many...

Teaberry Gum was a staple item in my backpocket as a youngster. Good stuff, but the flavor didn't last terribly long. I still like it on occasion but you can't find it any old where. My wife was given last year... Cranberry HOT Sauce. It is, Interesting. Hot as the dickens but still kinda...

It is amazing how threads evolve and change here. Guess this one's my fault. This still leaves me stuck with this cursed box though! I thought of stomping it flat and putting it out for recycle. They would take it. My wife and kids are looking at it for odd things. I do have an idea... EBAY...

Just A Suggestion I think the info is in this book, but all the same it may do you well to purchase: GHOST TOWNS AND OTHER QUIRKY PLACES IN THE PINEBARRENS By, Barbara Solem-Stull. Not to plug a book but if you want some spoonfed walk right up to type directions to many sites, it's a good...

I already have a well formed opinion of what anything that "engineers" get involved in equals. I shall keep it to myself. Wood, I can walk on any number of bridges over waterways of the pines and jump up and down like a mad Bastard and not stir a thing. I jump on the Plastic Fantastic and...

Took A Walk I think I am about to make this thread blending issue worse. The following is related to both, but I'll stick it here and let the bridge run my topic. I took off yesterday as I had 2 kid related school engagements. Ironically, my first took me into Shamong where I smiled as I...

My company's corporate office is in Tinton Falls. Nothing but paperclips, computers, and office hens there. Down this-a-way, you could step over what passes for natural falls. Some make for fun in a canoe though. G.
