Ok, so which part should I be careful of? :). The text was just copied from the site where I found it. Chester furnace went up around 1878, so that could work, could it not? The bricks are clearly marked "M.D. Valentine Woodbridge NJ" in one case, and ".. Valentine & B.." in the other.

It's going to continue. I really believe this change is permanent. I don't see any large-scale market changes coming to bring it back down. I know a few people in the oil business who think a year from now we may feel wistful about $5 a gallon. Would be nice if the pols would reevaluate the...

I was going to mention Picassa, but as others have said there are quite a few of them. Like Ben I prefer to host my own stuff. I get a linux server at Network Solutions for about $9/mo. that includes 20 gigs of disk space and 400 gigs of monthly bandwidth. I can put anything I want on it, within...

I'm about to fall off my chair, here.

Interesting! Thanks, Roy. So I might see more of these markers along that old right of way? I'll keep my eyes open for them. Edit: I've identified the bricks. This is from a site with Woodbridge local history: The Valentine Brothers Operated The M.D. Valentine Brick Company. Located At The...

Hi guys. I appeal for your assistance with a couple of non-piney related historical detective questions. I'm writing up a post for my blog on the Chester Branch of the CRNJ and the old Chester Furnace. I walked the old right of way on Sunday and visited the furnace site. I'm trying to identify...

Ban the troll ;).

People driving their vehicles through an area like that really gets me steamed. I'm not sure that little cable will keep them out for long either. I'm curious, Guy, as you how you know when a little rock lying in the turf like that is one you're looking for? Is it position? Or is the stone...

Damn healthy outlook on life, if you ask me (at 47). Not that there was anything here worth taking seriously anyway.

Yeah, it was really more of an aspiration :). I still laugh every time I see that steam engine lying on the sidewalk. Best editorial image post ever.

Damn that's too bad. They must have been weakening and been judged a hazard.

I don't think criticism of Ben is warranted here, by any means. All you can do in modding a forum sometimes is try to find a middle ground. If he wants to engage in battle for one side or the other that's his call, likewise if he doesn't. To the Coz's... until you are known as individuals...

Ban the troll.

Well, maybe we can both admit we jumped the gun. Nobody here knows you personally, and if I find out some anonymous person has placed a cache in the midst of a fragile ruin I am not immediately looking for the sympathetic angle on their story. I don't believe you're out there trashing the...

The best way to avoid promoting "routing around", as you put it, would be to not locate the geocache in the middle of ruins to begin with. The fact that you did hide it there, and that you apparently felt the ruins made a good prop for your hobby, fully justifies bruset's low expectations.

Kind of felt more like locker room talk to me, but then I wasn't on the receiving end of it. To be fair, on most forums someone posting about trouble losing weight and revealing that they eat primarily fast food would be dismissed as a troll.

I apologize but it turns out I misworded that ad when I sold you the coal, jburd. It should actually have read "titanic piece of coal." I really do apologize, and by the way, do have a cel # I can give the truck driver?

And aliens.

Stuff that's so good you know damn well you should eat it once a month, if that.
