    Wharton Fire in Medford

    ...and on that note: http://www.nbc10.com/news/8175108/detail.html and that site i got the other info from is worth checking out; it's really interesting because it has reports and pictures about local fires direct from the firefighters themselves. plus i found the above link on there too...

    Ruins ID?

    that is an excellent point that i hadn't thought of. the real problem is that it only takes one jerk to destroy a site and to me that jerk could find out about the site from any number of different sources, including this and other websites, beck's book or others, geocaching, weirdnj, etc. and...

    Frustration

    lighten up, dude :( i'm not trying to be arrogant or anything, but you seem a little unfamiliar with message board discourse. i've posted and lurked on many message boards for various topics and in my experience what we see here is pretty typical for any message board about any subject. yes...

    Why are so many folks afraid of the pine barrens at night?

    the thing that stands out the most in my mind about mt misery is a place that everybody called alligator alley. from what i remember, it was basically a boggy/swampy area with planks of wood going through it that people tried to walk across. most people fell off at some point and got really...

    ...and back to the bass... don't know if its incorrect or not, but in the wikipedia entry on the mullica river it says "The river is noted as a spawning ground for striped bass." i don't know if that's true or not since anybody could go and write something on wikipedia, but usually i tend to...

    Bog Bodies

    by "here" i meant in the pine barrens. i was just looking at the wikipedia entry for the mullica river and it said this area has been inhabited for at least 8,000 years. if that's correct that gives plenty of time for some good ol' anerobic bog mummification :-)

    oops, my fault. i must have been reading old messages and forgotten about it before replying.

    Bog Bodies

    ...and if there's no indians or colonial settlers in there, there's gotta at least be some mobsters, right :v:

    Oswego river trip

    i just got a cheap inflatable kayak and i too was on both the mullica and the oswego for a little bit on sunday going after some paddle-to caches at harrisville and beaver ponds. i was surprised by how much fun it is and how beautiful everything looks from out on the water. in the middle of a...

    Hermann City

    interestingly enough i actually ran into the guy who put that geocache there the other day and talked to him for a while. he said that he visits this site, so maybe you'll get to hear his explanation. i haven't been able to go out there to get the cache yet, so i don't know the details of how...

    Bog Bodies

    i heard in my physical anthropology class that the anerobic environment in a bog can actually create mummified "bog bodies" and that they've found bodies apparently sacrificed and dumped by druids into bogs in ireland. (or was it scotland? can never keep them straight) anyway, i know we don't...

    Things that shouldn't be done in the Pines.

    don't the horses in the city have little poop-bags to catchthat stuff? let the owners carry it with them so they have to smell it instead of us! i passed some people riding horses on quaker bridge road and a bit later i narrowly avoided driving right through a huge mound of the present their...

    Why are so many folks afraid of the pine barrens at night?

    i went to school in cherry hill, and one of the best things about that district is that all the sixth graders there get to go to the camp at mt misery for a week with their teachers. it was an awesome experience and i actually seem to have retained a lot of the knowledge about the pine barrens...

    Ruins ID?

    it mentions in that article about people plundering martha furnace. i haven't been there yet, but i know i've read that the state buried the furnace inside a fenced-in area. now, i don't know all the details, but to me that seems just as bad as plundering it. either way they're basically...

    Ruins ID?

    this thread has been a good discussion and it will definitely make me think about where i put caches in the future. i do have a cache inside some ruins, but they're not historical (a recently-burned down log cabin). i don't see as much of a problem with putting caches in recent ruins and...

    Ruins ID?

    not as obscene as the dead deer that's in there several feet from the geocache. in all fairness the cache is within the ruins but it's placed in a fairly non-obstrusive way and is easy to get to without hurting anything. to me the bigger problem is just the increase in traffic that the cache may...

    Wharton Fire in Medford

    damn, in the same location and everything. now i'd really better stay away from jackson road. i feel sorry for the person who lives in that one house out there, it must be scary when the forest next to where you live keeps catching fire.

    Hey Jerseyman...

    i took some latin but i was horrible at it... "things written of a new leader in memory of god, and thanks to friends" is my best guess and is probably way off... in latin the endings can completely change the meaning of something and that's the part i was really bad at.
