    Old road running through Mordecai Swamp

    @Boyd Is that higher quality of lidar still available somewhere? I think I recall there being some old roads in the vicinity that don't quite show up on the 2021 lidar.

    Old road running through Mordecai Swamp

    They wouldn't have made it past the forks in any boat, not because of the shoaling but because it was a hotbed of Rebel operations.

    Old road running through Mordecai Swamp

    It's closer to Batsto. We visited this saw mill when we hiked the 1808 road.

    Old road running through Mordecai Swamp

    Al, you crack me up. Last time you mentioned this idea, you weren't nearly as dogmatic about your conjecture. Did you dig your heels in the sugar sand once I challenged you? Hehe. No way these were trenches dug out to thwart a British invasion. There would be no reason to expect the British to...

    Old road running through Mordecai Swamp

    Beautiful shots! I miss that chunk of woods. Your post has inspired me to return in the near future. Jesse Richards had the road laid out in 1808. I haven't found much information beyond that basic fact, however.

    Bamber to Island Beach

    Bamber to Island Beach

    @Hewey and I paddled from Bamber several years back. As German said, it is tough going. Definitely don't do it in a canoe. The channel is anastomosing, shallow, and chock-full of fallen tree trunks and limbs.

    Batsto Furnace and Forge?

    Guy and all, That map misplaced the forge a bit. Here was the exact location: https://online.boydsmaps.com/#18/39.64312/-74.66186/lidar2021bw The two race ways are still visible, along with the dam and a pile of forge slag.

    Towers of Fire: Iron Production in the Pine Barrens

    I'd say that is a piece of the old dam.
