Well, after 15+ years of running around the woods, I finally made it to Weymouth. As I was poking around one of the raceways I saw what appeared to be a metal axle of some sort in the water. Does anybody know if this was the axle to the water wheel?

Here's some huge news: After four years, NJPB Live Maps has rewritten from the ground up. I took about two weeks and taught myself Javascript and the Google Maps API and am very proud to give you guys a new, modern mapping application. http://maps.njpinebarrens.com Here's the rundown of some...

The book in question: Uncommon Carriers My review: Not so good.

I'm thinking about taking a week off and going somewhere in early September. I'd like to be somewhere away from NJ (figure about a 5h car ride, give or take), preferably somewhere scenic where I can do some hiking, photography, and maybe a little kayaking. I was thinking perhaps somewhere in...

I came across this just now. It looks like a collection of "local" names for places, and then the "proper" modern name/township that they're in. Might be useful for reference. http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/publicat/localnames2004.pdf

I recently picked up a bike and I've been riding it pretty regularly. Are there any good bike trails in the Pines? My bike is a hybrid, with road tires, so I'm looking for paved or hard packed dirt paths.

I was asked to post these on the site:

I was out driving along Calico Rd. yesterday when I came across a scorched patch of ground. I noticed what I thought were orchids popping up in it, but on closer examination it looks like they are baby ferns of some kind: Life Begins Anew by benruset, on Flickr Any idea what they may be?

Folks, I just got news that Karen Riley, author of Whispers in the Pines: The Secrets of Colliers Mills, Voices in the Pines, and the Pine Barrens of New Jersey Arcadia book passed away yesterday. This is the email that I received:

It's been a long time since we've had a site get-together and, with the articles on Atsion that I've posted recently, I've been plotting a meetup/guided tour of the town. It looks like it will be Saturday, May 18th at 1pm. Meet in the parking lot behind the Atsion mansion. I'm going to try to...

I was sitting in the parking lot of the Wawa at the intersection of 539 and 70 today waiting to meet up with someone from the NJPineBarrens.com Facebook page when all of a sudden I hear a loud *thump* from the back of my truck. I see a car behind mine. I'm like "did that guy just hit me?" I...

Guy or anyone else with a Mac - Do you have a native program that will take tracks recorded on a GPS and somehow overlay them on a map like USAtopomaps used to do? Preferably a Mac native program?

Can someone point the location of the creek and ditch out on a map for me?

Just a heads up, the Image Gallery here is no longer accepting new uploads. In the future I will be investigating a replacement for it, but probably not for user uploads. I still think your best bet is to use Flickr, Picasa, Imgur, or attach your images to posts here.

I was out at Monmouth Battlefield the other day and managed to take some good photographs. I figured some folks might be interested to see. Monmouth Battlefield is a pretty interesting park. There's a number of cellar holes and a lot of history around Click for full size. I...

From Karen:

Hello - I've deleted the politics discussion forum. Please, in the future, limit any political discussion to things pertaining directly to the Pine Barrens (and even then sparingly.) There are other sites out there on the internet that cater to the mindless bickering that folks seemed to enjoy...

Hello everyone. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a wonderful New Year!
