Great pictures! Thanks for sharing. Where might this be? Glad you had a camera handy......

Thank you amf and dogg57. I would never have guessed what you described, which explains so much of what we saw.

This past weekend Ro & I were privileged to be taken on a tour of Featherbed Lane and Mannington Marsh by Karl Anderson and his wife. While not in the Pines, these places are in West Jersey Province. Saw roosting Bald Eagles, maybe a White Fronted Goose, several Harriers, and up close a pair of...

Perhaps looking at the deeds to the two farms in the County records could (1) establish exactly where each was and how big and (2)maybe explain how they went from being on historical registers to a housing development. Tracing deeds can be much like genealogy - who owned what and when, who had...

Ro and I were going from Whitesbog to Parker Preserve by way of Mt. Misery, when a bit east of Mt. Misery there was a truckoad of new trash on the left side of the road - couple of big mattresses, wooden cabinet, and a ton of small junk, shoes, etc. Disgusting.....

Go back just a little bit further in time to absolutely prove the point: I remember seeing kids running around their homes in Friendship about 60years ago - now it's hard to tell where all the buildings were located. Two more examples: the houses and buildings at Atsion, and the packing house...

Good for you, Tom! I was thinking about the kink in 539 where it nears Range Road and wuz gonna check it out. Now I can put that time to a more productive use.

Teegate: If the "you" is me, I flunk. Don't think I've ever seen the pictured stone. Not on subject but on our way home from this area today we passed the Green Bank Inn and it looked like really closed.

"It ain't for sissies" - anonymous. I looked forward to getting cataract removed from my good left eye (right one damaged with WMD) only to discover afterwards that the poor, low light level vision problem in it wasn't due to the cataract but to dry macular degeneration. Now that was a REAL...

The records of the several botanical test sites include GPS location, description of the site, plants found and populations, pictures, etc. It'll be very interesting to see the changes over the years. The test sites include areas around the armored spillways (at least 3 this year in different...

On the face of it - good point. However, since J. Garfield is still (thankfully) alive, I'd be surprised if NJCF went ahead with such massive projects without checking with him first. But then, I've been surprised before .....

After the property was acquired by the NJCF and the State, a plan was developed to try to restore much of the bog areas to wetlands more representative of the Pines. Atlantic White Cedar - Chamaecyparis thyoides - were planted and protected with a deer fence. Ducks Unlimited played a major...

You guys did it again.. mystery dispelled (mostly). Many thanks. Picture up next.

Used "Search" on this site but came up empty. While going north Ro & I did a "Uey" on 539 about a mile south of Webbs Mill when we saw all the flags and the newly repainted stone. Really a wonder, someone spent a lot of effort (and money) to show honor for our Flag. Who? Anyone know how that...

Wow! I never cease to be amazed at the detail, accuracy, and speed of answers to posts here. We weren't dressed in bug/woods duds, so stayed in the car. We could see a lengthy clearing to the east. And just how long did it take to find all those marker stones? I searched for "Howardsville"...

Today Ro and I drove the paved road to the north off NJ72 just east of the sand pit and 72/539 intersection. After a few miles it ended as it ran - pine woods on both sides. Came home and checked some maps: one showed "Howardsville" at about where we turned west on a sand trail and got to 539...

My wife Ro took this picture last week, following its dedication ceremony a couple of weeks ago. It's located on top of the observation tower at the north part of the preserve.
