Not the same thing, but here are some photos of the foundations of the buildings around the Alloway/DeMarco monument. I was there just a few days ago. Is there any further information about these buildings? Were they equipment sheds or something for the blueberry operation? Here they are on...

Makes me think about how the newer NJ tags, which are just printed rather than stamped like they used to be, will quickly become useless to future archeologists. If one of them gets buried today, I imagine 80 years from now all that will be left will be a blank piece of metal.

I had all the time I wanted up there earlier this year and I still only stayed up for a few minutes. I might be built for our flat terrain. I don't like heights.

Looks like every single 1-minute slot has been filled :eek:

I can't imagine that it will be that packed. The last time I was there was for a similar event in February; check out the massive crowds that showed up then :) On the other hand, since there's also First Day Hikes happening, maybe that makes it a lot more popular. I was interested in maybe...

I think it is at the point where collapsible categories (Aerials, Topo, LIDAR, etc) would be even better to clean things up, but I probably shouldn't make feature requests here... Also, the Favorites feature does get me close enough, with some customization.

You could also resort to labeling it "Tea Time Hill" again, which I think is a name still used :) I actually like that name a bit better, as it's more in the tradition of odd descriptive names of things in the Pines; your Bread and Cheese Runs and Featherbed Branches and Ong's Hats, et cetera...

I am sorry to hear. Hope all will be alright.

Link rot. I tried to access it from this thread and it appeared to be gone.

Nice, beat me to it. I was just wondering about this the other day: how long since "Un-Bridge" at Lower Forge has actually been a bridge? Close to a century? It doesn't even seem to be there on 1930s aerials. I did see this old front page article about it.

Thanks for these updates, this is cool stuff. And on Christmas, no less. Just two small comments: A very minor correction could be made here on the new topo to fix the name of this hill to Mt Korbar: https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.803909/-74.612931/pines2023/0.00/0.00 - here is a note you...

Gorgeous! #4 looks like it could be something out of Yellowstone. What a beautiful place we are blessed to call home. Merry Christmas.

Interesting! I really like this explanation. It does look like a stylized steam hammer, and steam hammers were one of the products of the Bethlehem Steel company which Wharton co-founded. I think it fits.

This was my first thought as well, but our guide ruled this out right away by pointing out that Wharton, a Quaker, wouldn't have had anything to do with the Freemasons.

Here is a question that came up after the tour, but did not have a satisfactory answer: is there some significance to this design on the staircase newel post? I think this would date from the Sloan & Balderston remodel of the house done at the beginning of the Wharton era in approximately...

A few photos from inside the mansion done up for the season. I had never been inside at night before. It was a really excellent tour, with a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy Holidays to all.

If you're looking for help putting together a PDF, I might be able to help out. Just thought I would offer. Send me a PM if you like. Bob's suggestion is good as well, and may end up doing almost exactly the same thing I would do.

I saw the fog was coming, but opted for some non-PB photography yesterday.

Yes, many times over many years. I wanted to get over there today but I was unfortunately not able to. I imagine it looked especially striking with all this dense fog, and it would have added to the loose Victorian London theme. It's Medford's biggest and probably best festival; you should go...

We are a little off topic for this thread now, but yes, there's a ton of free software out there for interfacing with the dongle. A lot of it is linked in the article I posted earlier, although it is from a decade ago and the state of the art has changed a bit. Today you would most likely want...
