http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/05/20/geo.metro/index.html First this person was going to drop $22k on a Prius. Then she decided to spend $7300 on a used 96 three cylinder Metro. At $4/gal that's 1875 gallons of gas. Her current car, an Element, gets 28MPG. This Geo cost her the...

Yesterday Guy, Jessica, and I met up to do a little exploring of the Factory Branch in the Forked River Mountains. http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.877205057682566&lng=-74.2796802520752&z=14&type=topo&gpx= ^ The pointer there is on no specific location. This is just to give an idea of...

:siren::siren::siren: So if you leave a profile message for someone (by clicking on their profile and then typing in the message box) your message is PUBLIC and anybody can read it. If you're going to send someone a message you probably want to use Private Messaging. This has been a...

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/05/cannonball.death.ap/index.html Interesting enough because I suppose this makes him the last Civil War death. People are still killed in France from WWI era munitions, and I believe their numbers are tacked on to the WWI death count.

Today I needed to get out and clear the mind. I had been meaning to check out the bogs near Buckingham for the longest time, as well as finally visit Van Note Camp. Whitingrider had been out there recently, and todays visit finally cleared up in my mind where he was. I was under the...

http://maps.njpinebarrens.com This should replicate most of the functionality that TopoZone had, plus more. To share a URL, just copy and paste it from the address bar. Highlights: * All of the standard Google Maps * NJDEP 1930 Aerials (without the slow interface that i-Map gives) *...

Yesterday, as I was driving past Hermann city I noticed the two huge Spanish oaks off 542 had been cut down. Anybody know why? They had to be several hundred years old, and for me, were landmarks.

I love swamps, but I often don't get many chances to explore them. Some, like the Great Swamp, are very intimidating, and others, like the swap out in Colliers Mills that I was in not too long ago, are not. I was thumbing through Jersey Genesis the other day when I came across a picture of...

All: I've just uploaded roughly 100 topo maps by C.C. Vermeule. They date from circa 1870-1887. I got them from the DEP - NJGS. I converted them all from PDF back to JPG (the file sizes are smaller, believe it or not). The only one that I did not do (yet) is map #85, which is password...

I just found an old Zip disk (and borrowed a zip drive to read it) that had a backup of my documents and email from 1998 or so. I found an article that I wrote on Friendship, dated 9/27/98, that was posted on my first South Jersey Website called "Crossroads." Enjoy this vintage piece.

Anybody get any wind damage last night? Part of my neighbors fence fell over. This is going to be a pain to fix.

Stu's recent thread about the "Nudist Colony" in Whiting - the Nature's Rest Resort - got me really excited at the thought of finding some ruins. So, I packed up in the new Jeep (what's that, another new Jeep?) and went to explore. First, the new Jeep. After being stranded too many times with...

Today a bunch of us went on a guided tour of the Cloverdale Bogs in Barnegat. Fellow forum member GermanG was nice enough to show us around the bogs and the sights of Wells Mills. I also want to apologize for not saying much today. I'm getting over a cold and I'm still not feeling all that...

Ever wonder what it's like where the main latitude and longitude lines meet? http://www.confluence.org/region.php?id=27
