    "Hidden Lakes" in NJ Pine Barrens???

    I don't wear a seatbelt in the pines. There's no danger of an incident involving massive deceleration because I don't drive fast, and there's no danger of getting thrown in a rollover because I don't get into those situations either. When I take the kids I don't make them wear belts, and when my...

    Structure at White's Bogs

    I'm thinking the pumping station theory sounds best, and in that case I imagine the power source was up on the base block where the bolts are, and a belt or chain drove a pump down in the box.

    Structure at White's Bogs

    This fellow contacted me through my blog and passed along the following pictures of a structure he saw out near White's Bogs. It looks like a sawmill ruin to me, although maybe a little newer than some. I told him I would post the pics here and see if anyone could identify the site.

    It feel honored to have gotten the last picture of the famed vessel in it's original place of rest.

    "Hidden Lakes" in NJ Pine Barrens???

    That's the Hanson pit, I think, which I think is being worked. I was up to the back of it a few months ago, and there wasn't much going on. Some guys were over on the far side shooting. But yeah, nothing much around Old Halfway. I see Jeepers down there pretty regularly, and the bluffs have...

    Abandoned House near Pohatcong Creek

    I know the spot, but I don't know anything about the history and haven't been in it. I think it's near where Brass Castle and Forces Hill come together. There's a tangle of old roads there that have been shifted around by the engineers over time, and one of the faded ones ran close to that...

    Ruins north of Martha

    And unless I've guessed wrong that pond it's on is actually an inlet off the river that was excavated out to get the water to the intake.

    Camera on an eagle

    That is really neat. I was surprised by the amount of moving around he's doing up there. When I see large raptors in flight is seems so smooth, but he's jerking his head around all over the place.

    Medford Lakes Canoe is MIA

    And in fact I think the particular fastener in this case was a 3/8 lag screw.

    Hanover Furnace to Callico, 3-28-09

    Haha, I do that all the time when words sound the same :). Think I'll leave it for the permanent record.

    Dirt bikes!

    Not a bit, HawkinNative. I didn't read anything into it at all, and I hope my reply didn't come off as if I felt differently. As to your last question, really it's just all illustrative of how pointless any attempt to make this distinction is. We all use the woods like we use the rest of...

    Dirt bikes!

    Don't the enduros ride on the roads? I drive on the roads too, and it's not like they run enduros every day. I have no sympathy with the aggressive ATV riders and "mudders" who go out there just to tear things up. But I think faulting the enduros for ruining the peace and quiet a couple of days...
