Hmmmmm...................sounds like one of those Florida swamp land deals to me.

That would be my take on it too. If it's not on Google it doesn't exist. :mrgreen:

KenDawg and I will be there.

Thanks Guy. I've got to get there one of these days. Steve

The station was a little northwest of Sandy Ridge.

Ken, There is still evidence of that that road had been "scienced".

Me thinks General should be re-opened. :rolleyes:

Now I know what a Cripple is. "....a ''cripple'' (a low, wet area where Atlantic white cedars grow), or a ''spong,'' where no cedars grow."

The target on this Topozone link measures approxamately 3 miles as the crow flies. It is a somewhat swampy area and is close enough to the plains to possibly fit the description. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=18&n=4409137&e=546787&s=50&size=l&datum=nad83&layer=DRG25

I guess it's not a very large tree any more. :mrgreen: I definately want to go explore there. I did go in the way Bunnymom3 described but saw no tires in a puddle. I guess they were frozen over and snow covered. Steve

I should have known you were there already. LOL

Sandy Ridge Station Is anyone familiar with it? It shows on the 1933 road map I just got today. (yeah, another one lol). It is on the Central R.R. north of Carenza Rd. about 1/3 the way to Harris Station. I wish I had gotten this map earlier because KenDawg and I were just on the road along...

Maybe, I'll have to see. My mom wants me to put a new floor down in her bathroom and I have to work on Saturday. Maybe she'll drag her feet and not get the flooring by this weekend. LOL Steve

Yesterday toward the end of a long day I took KenDawg up Howardsville Rd to show him where Howardsville is. You cannot gain access with your car from there and since Ken had slipped on the ice and was a bit sore I walked in for a peek. BEAUTIFUL!!! Having heard whispers that there is a back way...

Here is everything you ever wanted to know about "Pine Tar". http://www.maritime.org/conf/conf-kaye-tar.htm

Very interesting. When I was googling for tar I did see a reference to "Pine Tar". I guess the tar they refer to is different from the Dino tar we are familiar with today. Steve

Well here is part of the answer to your question. "Like many colonial Pinelands industrial sites, the sawmill and tar kiln at Webb's Mill are only a memory. Zebulon Webb established a sawmill and village here in 1774. A tar kiln was later built; however, both were in ruins by 1839. Today the...

Well that is good news! Now we don't have to listen to all those "Disney Ecologists" screaming "Save the Corn Flakes, Save the tooth paste!" :mrgreen:

Beautiful pictures Renee. It sounds and looks like you had a great time. Steve

I have a picture in my gallery of a burn there from last year . It was taken on Feb. 2, 2003. I guess it is a yearly thing.
