Hi guys, I have uploaded an album of images from a recent trip I made with a couple of friends. The day, which was described in an earlier post, began at Quaker Bridge (really at the bridge on Old Atsion Road), and ended at the Pumping Station. The album contains a number of pictures of QB...

Thanks, my friend will be happy to know he was right :). If I tell him.

I've seen gypsy moths on our property for years, but I've never seen devastation like I saw up around Jemima yesterday. I mean it was bare. Not a deciduous leaf above ground for acres. Where there were small seedlings poking up with a leaf or two they were all chewed to hell. I guess the little...

Did they make glass there, Guy? Or is that slag a remnant of a metal smelting process? Sorry to hear about the storms, Bob. Just had another front roll through up here (I live in north jersey) and it was a good one.

We were out yesterday (in Wharton) and brushed off quite a few of different species. My friend is a field guy with the Camden County Mosquito Commission, and he was having a lot of fun identifying them. I just wanted them gone. Anyway, brushed many off pants, but no bites. My friend said the...

We went up the road from Mount to Jemima yesterday. It was labelled as Devious Mt. Rd. on Google Earth and on my buddy's Treo-based GPS software. His unit also showed that we passed west of "Lake Broyhill" and he got a kick out of it when I mentioned this discussion.

We saw a nesting Turkey Vulture (I always called them Turkey Buzzards) yesterday, on the road east of Martha Furnace. He (or she) didn't like us passing beneath his (or her) tree, and unfurled his (or her) wings before flapping off. Absolutely enormous, and easily as large as the bird in that image.

Hi, James. The roads around Mt. Jemima were fine and easily passable in the Toyota we were driving (FJ Cruiser). There was standing water in various places from the night before, but it was shallow. There are also the big permanent mudholes, which look quite deep, but there were passable...

Thanks to all the great information on this site my friends and I were able to have a great outing today. We started about 1:00 PM at Atsion and finished up at 7:00 PM near Harrisville. In between we covered 25 miles and visited the sites of Mount, Jemima, Washington, Harrisville, Martha...

Thanks a bunch, folks. It's great to have first-hand reports.

Hi guys. Planning to head into the woods this Wed. with a friend of mine. We'll be driving a Toyota 4wd (very respectfully :)), and plan to head in from Atsion and make our way SE toward Quaker Bridge, and from there to Mount, maybe Jemima, and then Washington. Can anyone give me a recent...

Hi, Guy. By the time we lived in Cherry Hill I was out of school and in my "can't quite get up the bucks to move out" phase. But she might very well have driven my younger siblings to school, as two of them went through the system there.

Hi, folks. Just wanted to drop a note to say hello, and thanks. I've been lurking on this forum for a month or so, reading up on Barrens history, and have really enjoyed the material you have put together, especially the high-res historic map collection and the anecdotes of personal exploration...
