    Thinking about Aserdaten

    Aserdaten has always been a mystery. For a while I believed it was solved when I transcribed a 1950's article that Beck wrote about the area, which cleared a lot of what was printed in the Aserdaten chapter of Jersey Genesis. Last year, Renee and Ted Gordon went out searching for Aserdaten, and...

    Mary Ann Forge and Cranberries

    Big kudos goes to RednekF350 for posting the link to iMAP and the 1930's aerial photography. From there I took a snapshot of Mary Ann Forge from 1930, 2000, and a USGS topo from USATopoMaps and put them together in the image below. It looks pretty clear to me, although I hate to admit it, that...

    Old PBE Forums

    As part of merging the old PBE (thepinebarrens.com) site with this one, I've imported the old Pine Barrens Enthusiasts forums into our forums. You can get at them at the bottom of the main forum index page. For those who don't know, posts by the user ZippySLC are mine. The user Guy is Teegate...

    New Image Gallery

    I have just finished installing the new image gallery software. You can access it by going to http://gallery.njpinebarrens.com I'd like a few people to try it out before I close down the old one. People should not upload to the old one unless they're OK with those images being gone in the...

    Gentle Reminder about the Image Gallery

    Guys, Please do not upload any photos to the gallery that are not taken in the NJ Pines or close vicinity. Photos from outside the Pine Barrens should be hosted on Photobucket, Imageshack, etc. You're welcome to share them on the forum, but I only want to host images from NJ. Thanks, -ben

    Online Photo Manipulation

    http://www.wiredness.com/ Check it out. It's built by some poster on a forum that I frequent. You can manipulate images on your computer, and then send them over to Glowphoto or Imageshack.us for hosting. It may be handy for some people here. Plus it's free. I haven't used it yet so I don't...

    ORV's in Washington State

    From another forum I frequent. It's pretty interesting to see the reaction that the Senator takes when presented with a perfectly calm, rational email. I feel sorry for the people of Washington State.

    Their Own Little Mayberry on the Jersey Shore

    This is about Brick, where I live. It's a little embellished, I think. It's not all roses here like they say, but is still better than most other places...

    Chigged.

    My wife kicked me out of bed for scratching my ankles. :( I ran the bath water as hot as it would go and soaked my poor ankles in it for about 10 minutes. I'm about to put on an ocean of calamine lotion and try to go to bed again. It figures that the first time I go out in the summer, I...

    From Hog Wallow to Sim Place

    Today I got a guided tour (actually, just riding around in a farm truck and looking at stuff) of Hog Wallow and Sim Place from my friend Bill (Tug) Haines III. We visited what is left of Fred Brown's house. True to description, one of his old cars (a Ford I believe) is still sitting out...
