    A Sawmill, or is it?

    Way cool, Guy. Nice work. My gut tells me that Bob's story is correct, but it may just be an irresistable inclination to link that clearing with the story. Heck, your spot might have been a sawmill, and the mossing might have been done nearby as well. The 'disturbance' over by the wading does...

    A TASTE OF NJ's HISTORY

    That's an amazing archive. I found pictures of a tennis court in Mt. Tabor that my kids used to play on, and one of the railroad station in Long Valley ca. 1908. And I have only looked at a small portion of what's there. It's too bad they chose to watermark them right smack in the middle of the...

    Snow ??

    6" up here on the mountain. It's stopped now, and will all be melted by Monday or Tuesday.

    An Afternoon Moon

    Yep, that's it. A very small bit of concrete in the grand scheme of things, but it does look at least... oh I'm guessing 50-75 years old.

    Snow ??

    AccuWeather is calling this a rain event, at least up here and as far as I can see for the whole eastern seaboard.

    random findings ?

    Plenty has been found, and no doubt there is plenty more to find, but it won't be sitting on the surface. Metal detector use is illegal in all the state and federal parks as far as I know, so any attempt to find relics out there today using anything other than your eyeballs would be a crime...

    Snow ??

    27 deg. F. up here on Schooley Mt. when I woke up this morning.

    quaker bridge tavern ?

    All I know is that it was a popular stop on the stage line to Tuckerton. It's mentioned here and there in Beck's books, some diary excerpts that have been posted here, etc. I believe I have run across the name of the proprietor, but I will have to rake my brain to recall where. Jerseyman would...

    An Afternoon Moon

    I'm afraid I didn't grab coordinates, Guy. It was somewhere right along in here... http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.68465808155603&lng=-74.66012477874756&z=17&type=k&gpx=

    random findings ?

    Let's see... I've found beer cans, soda and water bottles, tires, refrigerators, pickup trucks, old tractors, plastic santa clauses, wreathes, flags, mylar baloons, rusted empty drums, entire demolished buildings in a pile, rusted full drums, interesting brick and pottery fragments, and one old...

    An Afternoon Moon

    Not so far, actually. NJ is a small state :). I used to live in Cherry Hill back in the 80's, and that's when I became familiar with the pines. I still have friends down that way, and we get together every month or so and go exploring. It could have been almost anything I guess. It really...

    Thanks, Jode! I'll pass that along :).

    An Afternoon Moon

    No, not at all. It's wide open. Might have been one or two rutty sections.

    An Afternoon Moon

    A short afternoon trip yesterday, made necessary by ungodly traffic on the turnpike that delayed an arranged meeting with my friend Jack by over an hour. We headed south from the ranger station on QB Rd. and then peeled off on Middle to follow the Batsto down. I'll begin with the moon over the...

    Wild West Wading, A PBX Hike

    Wow, a couple of those cedars are massive. Looks like a great trip. But what I want to know is, if I ever come on one of these things, will I get a piggy back ride, too? Or is there some sort of double standard here?

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Landover Baptist Church is a classic, and those cartoons are hilariously offensive. Well done, sir!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Getting ready to head down to Haddonfield to stuff ourselves.

    Off Roading!!!!

    If it's marked on a map it's legal to drive on, or that's the rule as I always understood it. If it isn't marked, then technically I think you'd be in violation. OP: you've built completely the wrong kind of truck for exploring woods of any kind. You'd just be pushing tree limbs out of the...
