From your pictures that looks to be the Woodstown Station. It was moved there years ago by a farmer from what I've read. As far as Atsion Staion goes, I read in a historical RR type book that the station was moved to a local farm just down the road. Not sure where exactly it got to, but I'm sure...

Good luck with exploring. All you need is a map to find stuff. I use bing.com to find my way around to some places. The birdseye feature can usually let you see if there's puddles. I wouldn't worry about the hills and rocks in the Pines. A nice slimey puddle full of chucks of trees should be...

Wow. There's got to be no better way to meet your neighbors then to have the toot-off orchestra in an outhouse that big! But, I'm sure that was quite normal back in the day. There are the remains of a mens/womens outhouse to the left of the church, but definitely not the one your referring to...

Looks like it should be a good time. Especially with all the recent rain. If I wasn't going on the NJ Lighthouse Challenge, I'd probably head out to this. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Awesome shots! That sunset is great. Looks like the dogs had a good time.

That is a very neat find Guy! Completly buried too, sometimes I think you're the CSI of property stones! Looks like that would have been a neat piece of Jersey to raise some berries on. I'm guessing since the berm was in place, they did live there for some time. Any evidence of where a house or...

Great report. I've meet him several times, and he is a great guy. I know his two sons Dave and Mike well. Nice shots too.

Apple Pie Hill Went out again on Monday night to get some neat shots of the moon. I was pleasantly surprised to find that someone did a great cleanup of the whole hill. It was getting dark so I couldn't see everything, but it looked like whoever cleaned it up did one hell of a job. It's nice to...

Bridge As far as a go-around route, you can still use Gale Ave., but I'm sure that will cause some trouble with cars crossing the pike there. That bridge is in really bad shape, and some of the I-beams aren't even connected to anything, and the cross bracing is completely gone underneath. If...

Trestles Pretty interesting. Is there a rogue lady trying to cut those trestles up too, or is that just the CNJ I guess? lol.

Blue Thanks for that story George! Very interesting being the last two weeks of service for the comet. Shame for the people though. But in 1941 I'm sure there were a number of trains coming through that area along with the Comet. They should have looked before crossing knowing a train could...

Went to take Weymouth Rd. home from the Black Horse Pike today and saw a sign that said " Weymouth Bridge - no trucks". Assuming cars and motorcycles were still ok, I took the exit only to find that the bridge in front of the furnace was indeed closed, and actually closed to everything. I didn't...

Well, yeah. I guess it was moved again in 1971 by that plane. But a page on fire towers in NJ states that in 1960 the tower that was built in 1924 in Farmingdale was moved to Bear Swamp if I'm reading that right. I think the state forest fire web page might also say that as well...

HaHa, yeah I'm sure it's a task, but it's actually been done a lot in the past. Cedar Bridge tower has been moved 4 times, the bass river tower was moved once, as with Mizpah, Bear Swamp, and Lakewood. Apple Pie Hill Tower was moved once before from Big Hill to where it is now in 1960. I've seen...

Boyd, I just figured it was "news" related since it was an update on something talked about on here a bit. If it could go somewhere else, you're welcome to move it. And as an added update, I went there again today and it was smashed and messed up again (as if it wasn't enough already.) We got...

Yeah, I saw that tower a couple of years ago and was surprised to find out it didn't have a fence. Pretty neat how the stairs go up the middle diagonally on that one. Pretty good view though. Most of the forest fire/police rangers I've talked to are pretty easy going and are glad to strike up a...

Yaking Anger, thanks for the heads up. I figured that the water would probably be pretty nasty and I might wear wet suit gloves because of that. That has to be some pretty rough water in there. As far as the chop, I'll try to head out on a day with little wind to make travel a little easier.

Camping Personally, I'm a huge fan of camping in the pines, or really in any forest or secluded area for that matter. Usually I've only run into some other people heading into the woods to drink beer or whatever, and most people are pretty relaxed about things. Some people go into the woods for...

Kayaking the Low Del Thanks for the replies and additional advice on places to go everyone. I have several books on a lot of the rivers in NJ and I've read and explored a lot of the upper Delaware, I just didn't have any info in anything I've read about going past the philly area. I know of...

Kayaking Hey, thanks a lot Chris and Mark. That's exactly the info I needed. Just as long as I can be out there and not get hassled by the state police, port athority, or coast guard. I appreciate the responses. Kevin
