    We have a few real nice white pine groves down in Belleplain as well.One is quite large and nice but within earshot of 47.Another is quite small but back in the boonies and all you can hear is the wind through the needles. The nice thing about the big grove is it's old enough you really can't...

    Exploring the Pine Barrens

    Not that I remember.They look like slabs of cedar shoved into the ground.The stones around them are from the 1800's so I assume these are the same age.Cedar and Cypress really last forever it seems.
