Regarding the excessive fines for trespassing at the Heritage Minerals site, the above posts don't make sense to me. First of all, who is Bradley Campbell and what does he have to do with ATV use, legal or otherwise? And shouldn't the fine for use of them on private property be inclusive of the...

There is extensive forum coverage recently regarding blue holes, and dangers related thereto. Suggest you research same. Above all, don't even think of going swimming in one of them; extremely dangerous.

Yes, Ben, those are some very big trees. I had occasion to drive thru that part of the country many, many years ago and saw a lot of huge redwoods. In fact in one case that I remember we actually drove through the trunk of the tree (and yes, it was still alive). It's lucky you got out of the...

"climbed the movie theater" ... What movie theater got climbed, and why ??? Dave, Ormond Beach

Renee, as a follow-up to the above note, please refer to "American Indian middens" on the Google search engine. They've got quite a few entries there. Searching under "midden heaps" provides a lot more listings, but most of them are for other continents and cultures. Dave, Ormond Beach

These are quite common here in Central Florida, Renee. They are actually Indian garbage sites, and possibly also a final resting place for cremated Indian remains (as was their usual custom of disposing of the dead). Didn't know they also exist in South Jersey; may not be the same thing...

Thanks for the feedback from my early Sunday posting. My computer has been down since shortly after then, being just restored late this afternoon. I thought that this might be an interesting project that could possibly be handled as a team effort, just like the FRM cleanups. Surprisingly...

Hope this would be the most appropriate place for the following idea related to cemeteries ... Have any of you members ever been interested in tombstone transcriptions of cemeteries within or close to the Pine Barrens? Maybe this activity may not be familiar to some of you, so I'll explain...

Nice research there, Tee-Gate Piney. Guess that when properties were surveyed way back then, accuracy was not too big a priority, since land was relatively cheap. At best, those stones located property corners only to the nearest six inches or so. That would never do today, even out in the...

Speaking of the seller downloading maps from bruset's site ... the mispelling of Asbury Park on both listings was noted by me. At least I think it was the bruset list where I noticed "Ashbury Park", although I did run across a similar list somewhere else ... can't remember where. Anyway, that...

JerseyJim, Scout --- Belated thanks for giving me the coordinates on the Crabbe cemetery in Dbl Tbl St Pk. Damn, those GPS gadgets come in handy, don't they!

Received e-mail advertisement today for subscription to the TopoZone Pro. Seems like it would be a good program for home use (and I suppose laptops as well, but I don't own one). Would have access to topos, aerial photos and street maps, and their samples were quite impressive. But samples...

BorderWalker, Explorer --- Muchas gracias for the info on the cemetery at Double Trouble. If they would update the topo for that area, it just might be shown then. It's not a very old cemetery.[/i]

Does anyone know where the Crabbe (I think it's spelled) cemetery is located? Saw some pictures of it in one of the members' photo collections on this site, but don't recall whose it was. All that is indicated with the pictures is that it is in Double Trouble. Couldn't spot it on the topo...

To Renee -- According to various sources, I believe populations of largest townships are: 1) Edison, Middlesex Co., 97687 2) Woodbridge, Middlesex, 97203 3) Dover, Ocean County, 89706 4) Hamilton, Mercer County, 87,109 Am sure the top two are largest in NJ, but it is possible...

To JerseyJim --- For a former resident of Ocean County, you made that one too easy ... Jackson Township. I used to live in both Dover and Brick Townships in the '60's and 70's, before moving to suburban Trenton and finally Bucks County, PA. After retirement in '91 I spent three half-years...

Same company distributes (in local book stores) close to a dozen titles of Central Florida towns/cities and special activities such as car racing here on the beach (Daytona and Ormond Beach). All appear to be the same size and have 128 pages, liberally illustrated. They are quite informative...

TeeGate -- Unfortunately I did not re-read your Lawrence Line story prior to writing mine, and since I have a memory like a sieve, had actually forgotten those points which you brought up in your response at 17:24 this date. Got all of my information directly from Mr. Snyder's book, pages...

When still living in NJ I purchased one of these 1872 atlas sheets for my then-residence, Ocean County (they were removed from the whole atlas, where basically one sheet included one entire county; Burlington had two sheets). This was hand-colored prior to its sale in the complete atlas, I...
