Cool shots of that Cedar. I just ordered that big tree book actually. But I guess until some trees get registered as "large trees" we'll just have to assume the most current list has the largest trees recorded on it. On that same NJ Forestry page there is a form there for filling out a large...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I appreciate the feedback. As for my dog, he listens, but he loves chasing little critters and when he's on a scent trail, it's hard to break his focus. He's a 45 lb. Irish Wolf Hound mutt and loves to look for different scents. He's never caught anything in the...

I know it's not too much of a concern right now, but I love to take my dog in the pines in the summer and I'm growing more concerned the more I read about pine rattlers. I already lost one dog to a severe heart condition, and I wouldn't want to lose another to a run-in with a deadly snake. I...

Brad, welcome aboard. This site has a ton of info, you could honestly read on for days and days. And if you need to know something, a lot of the users here are enthusiastic, and hold a database worth of piney info in their heads. lol. And what a cool motorcycle. I've checked them out a couple of...

Yes, they do indeed suck. I'll have to try some of these remedies here. In my family, it was either scratch em', or quit complaining. We were surrounded! I had a fun run in last summer after having to make a "pit stop" in the woods. I started driving again and felt something crawling on my...

About the charcoal, I have seen it several times. Although I don't know exactly what causes it, I'd have to say that it could possibly be from things not being hot enough in the furnace but more than likely the charcoal was wet or frozen. The slag usually floates on top due to a high air content...

Sorry to hear about that Guy. Glad you still found some stones so it wasn't a total bust. Yesterday was superb exploring weather and it was even warmer today. I've gotten some weird random stuff in my eye before and fiberglass was by far the worst. It's always a good idea to get the eyes checked...

That really, really looks like bear poo. And the screaming was most likely a fox. They have one heck of an insane way of letting their presence be known. And in the dark, that screech will make you leave a similar pile to the bears you found! Sorry, no info on that island for you though.

Jerseyman, thanks for such a neat article. That is really amazing that out of all the places on the east coast, they chose that spot for armor plate testing. I would have thought that they chose that site for accuracy measurement due to how flat everything was. I guess space was really limited...

Yeah, it looked like such a nice area. Too bad so much was destroyed. The state could still make a wilderness campground out of it, but with funds so tight right now, who knows. Kind of funny this thread poped up, I just uploaded some shots from there today...

Great photo Jerseyman, and thanks for the other shots as well of the pyramid structure of the furnace stack. That place had to be really neat looking. I had never heard of that forge up the creek, and really makes sense since just about every furnace had a forge in South Jersey. I had never...

Thanks for the great report and photos Guy! Looks like you guys had a great trip.

I guess it depends on how each township handles trash, but sometimes it costs money to take trash to the dump. I know the ACUA in Pleasantville charges so much per pound. So if a contractor ends up with a lot of heavy trash from a job, it's sometimes cheaper to just dump down a dead end dirt...

Hey Gipsie, you had a great day for exploring. Sounds like you found some neat stuff as well. As far as the people that own it, when I went the guys I talked to had Tuckahoe Turf Farms hats on. That might have something to do with who owns it. I don't know if you really meant "old" tax maps but...

Dave, that is a great looking ride you had there. There is definetely a fun responsible way of off-roading and a be a jerk because it's not your problem way as well. One day I stopped near a bunch of puddles on Quaker Bridge Rd. and realized that all the bushes, leaves, and trees around the...

This is crazy. This state is going to be a whole different place in 30 years. I think our population needs to slow (a lot!) down or things are going to bell-curve in a very bad direction. The company I work for has me working on stuff in the Virginia Beach area and judging by the satellite...

That's insane. With so many newer devices to tell people how to do things, it's no wonder some people are doing dumber and dumber things without thinking first. Whatever happened to good judgement and a paper map?

Sorry Gipsie, I just re-read your post and didn't realize that you were looking for an original map of the pouring and cooling buildings. It's on that book page, it's just hidden and not labeled as well as the map for the town. Here's the link...

Gipsie, I got a copy of a hand drawn map a long, long time ago from a really nice guy in the Hammonton Library. I think this was back in 95 or 96 so I don't know if he is still there or not. I'll have to look for it, and your welcome to a copy of it if you like. It's only for the town portion...

Wow, that sounds like a pretty crazy trip Gabe! Glad you made it out of there. With the water that high, I'm sure it was pretty crazy going through some of those tight spots. And I'm sure that water was really cold! I kayaked across a small section of the Great Bay one time in early January. I...
