Being a history major I've always been itching to know where I came from and know very little. My Grandparents on my mother's side are both dead, my father's mother is still alive, but I just haven't had the chance to really sity down and talk with her much lately. There's about half a million...

Arghhhh...My school sucks and we can't paste anything on the web because the right click on the mouse is disabled. Some sort of B.S. security measure. Anyway, I saw this article in today's Star Ledger. This photographer took a lot of photographs all over the state and apparently took a lot of...

I remember once there were a few threads on this board about bluegrass in the pines and Albert Music Hall so I know there are a few fans of pickin' and stompin' on here. Anyway I got in early to work the other day and put on the bluegrass channel on the Direct TV receiver for a little...

I'm thinking of taking the plunge into the golden brown stuff-used fryer oil that is...Is anyone here doing the same? I've been trying to gather more information on running straight vegetable oil in a car but I can't seem to find anyone who's actually doing it on the web. I frequent a Dodge...

One of these weekends coming up (If I can get off of work-such is the plight of a college student) I want to take my girlfriend down to the pines. She's from Sussex County and we love to have good natured arguments about which part of New Jersey is more beautiful. Anyway, I was thinking of...

I was looking for info on Heritage Minerals on google when I found a list of Superfund sites in New Jersey and my neighbor's (well, my parents' neighbor) house was listed. The entry is as follows-I'm not including the name or address because I don't know if the person living there now who is...

The History Channel is running a program about "Days that Shook the World" and they had a segment about the Hindenburg. Pretty neat to see Lakehurst mentioned on TV, especially when you figure that most people say to themselves "where the hell is Lakehurst, NJ?" Anyway, one of the more...

Just trying to gauge the interest of a hiking trip to Colliers Mills. Ben's article got me thinking about how much there really is to see out there. I don't know what we might come across as far as ruins (I've never come across anything really, but then again I mostly stuck to the roads), but...

This is sort of a humorous observation but it is serious in a way. I'm only 23 so I wasn't around when people proposed splitting New Jersey into two seperate states (it was in the late 70s right?), but having grown up in what is arguably south Jersey and now living in north Jersey it's...

Right now I'm working on my term paper for my U.S. History II class and my topic is the how the New Deal affected Appalachia in the 1930s. I've been using a lot of primary sources for my paper and I've learned an awful lot about moonshine in the process. The production and distribution of...

Has anyone explored a lot of this area? I used to pheasant hunt there as a kid, but I haven't been back there in about 4 or 5 years. We used to head back by Lake Success and try to find a way around the lake, but I was always to afraid to get anywhere near the shoreline. The sugar sand looked...

When I was a kid (about 13 or 14, so around 10 years ago) I went with a group of older guys I used to hang around with to a junkyard down in the pines because somebody needed some parts for a truck. It was a hell of a place with everything from old 1930s-40s Mercurys, Hudsons, Chevys, etc...to...

If you had the time and resources what kind of rig would you put together for wheeling in the pines? Here's what I would do with my Land Cruiser if the funds were flowing a bit more freely... Once I got the frame and body up to snuff I'd get rid of the stock engine and swap in a Cummins 4BT...

Can anybody tell me a little bit about either of these? I'm considering either renting one of the cabins (4 person) or reserving a wilderness site for 2 or 3 days this summer. My girlfriend is going to London to study for two months so I thought it would be nice for us and some friends of ours...

Hello everyone, my name is Matthew and I just found this website a few days ago. This is the best place I've seen for finding info about the Pinelands on the net in a long time. Anyway, I just thought I'd intoduce myself. I'm a 23 year old student at Caldwell College (about 15 min northwest...
