This brings to mind Henry Beck describing his travels in deep snow out of Chatsworth, turning left at the Chatsworth Cemetery heading towards Dukes Bridge, and then turning towards Bear Swamp Hill heading towards Penn State Forest and Sim Place with the back side of Haines Cranberry Bogs far...

Also, she mentioned a saw the day I met her as shown in Post 454 and we walked to where she thought it may be and nothing was there. That place had been picked over years ago.

BTW, if anyone ever sees one of her paintings or her other work which I believe has her name on them, don't hesitate to buy them. They are I am sure a great collectors item.

It is Sue. I met her at Friendship many years ago with her children. She had photos of the place when she was a kid and before and we walked around comparing them to that day. Her parents lived in the buildings at Friendship and struggled to survive. They had to tear down wooden fences to have...

That is the target range. The road there at the bottom is called Range Road. Each range can be reserved and they get a time just like golf. Someone I know worked at the base and reserved the ranges at 8AM for one hour on Thanksgiving morning. Jess and I met him there and took a road way back...

Yea, I got caught out there on Thanksgiving day quite a few years ago. Was escorted out. Who knew bombing practice was going to occur on Thanksgiving day?

Yesterday we also traveled in the Pestletown area along Porter road and walked 4 miles looking for stones. We only found a few monuments and have to return to dig for the stones. It looks like many of the monuments are also gone as we looked for about 7 of them. Still have many more to look for...

Back in 2007 a woman signed up for this site and was having trouble uploading photos and wanted my help. From that point on we had over 900 emails between the two of us discussing her ancestors and mine. I still have every one of them. She was related to John Bower and many other old time pine...

I bet they were also checking to see if he took photos of the body. If so, they most likely will make you delete them or they will do it. Imagine if they were posted at some point in the future and everyone thinks it is the police doing it. By checking his photos and maybe phone records they can...

So we go back to the tree with the nail in it mentioned in the last post and started looking again for the monument. After following the nail for 30 feet I gave up. Jessica turned to walk away and noticed this. The tree with the nail in the distance and the monument. This is an unusual one...

It gets even stranger. The man who found the body is arrested for not letting the police have his cell phone. After reading this I would suggest if you find a body anywhere and don't want the police to take your phone, you should call them from a different phone. Man accused of obstructing...

Nice info. Warner Hargrove was the historian that traveled with Henry Beck on many of his early jaunts through the pines. His dog "Tip" is mentioned quite a bit with a few photos showing up in Beck's book. He was postmaster in Browns Mills for many years retiring in 1924 long before he met...

Says quite a bit about the shows they produce.

We need more hunters because the loss of them has made the state bolder with their actions to close the woods down.

Sunday June 1, 1930 Signs to Aid Tourist Being Erected at All Bridges by Highway Board Trenton May 31 - In the plan of the New Jersey State Highway commission to mark the names of rivers and streams along state routes, automobile tourists are gaining knowledge of history as well as geography...

German, I think you are referring to Woodjin and not me.

I would do as slingblade says. Just mention the facts, and the location, and let them know. I may have mentioned this but I was out there late in the day recently with someone else, and a woman alone was walking the Batona. She saw us and seemed relaxed but as we crossed over the Batona behind...

Sorry to hear that Jeff.
