    History of this Canal

    Yes the smaller section to the east is a favorite spot of mine.I usually come in to it from the north.Quite a high island it is,I just wish it was further from 206.Me and Whip discussed building a cabin there once but we agreed the Rangers would frown on it. Also some very nice islands in that...

    History of this Canal

    Perhaps? maybe being closer to the water table the vegetation was thicker and dried out at the time so the fire went where there was more food? One of the ridges is toast but several others were spared with only scorch marks a few feet up the trees.

    History of this Canal

    Thats the recent burn! The biggest burn i know of would be the 82 burn west of 206 and south of the Mullica.The one that started at the Bombing Range and burnt westward to 679 was pretty big as well.Of course the Chatsworth fire was probably bigger then them all but that was before my time.

    Oswego Lake Road

    The first swamp i believe would be Risleys Branch unless your referring to the four bridges which is the Shoal Branch of Wading.It braids here with four separate channels.

    History of this Canal

    Okay I searched and yes Ed you are right.I am speaking of saltars Ditch and it appears it was made to put more water into the Forge at Atsion.I had no Idea that there was another railroad heading west from Atsion toward Atco.I have been driving that road lately,it is severely moguled but other...

    Oswego Lake Road

    The bridge at Plains branch? Thats right where the road crosses the bog at Sims Place.Perhaps the bridge is out? You could alwayscross upstream at Longs Causeway but that would be a definite route extension.

    Not that I blame the cops for that. They can't be every where at once and it's really not their job to be our body guards.It's their job to make arrests and call the coroner afterwards and hopefully write down evidence to clear the innocent defender. NJ actually has a right to defend law.You...

    Actually I imagine the reason folks brought guns to church back then was because they carried them every where with them.There were highway bandits, Injuns,bears in the woods.They probably sat them in the corner or in a closet till the service was over.Kinda like folks carry cell phones with...

    Maybe they had church shooters back then as well? I know a lot of churches have plain closthed members of the congregation packing now. Everyone wants to go to Heaven but no one wants to go right now! I"m all for it myself. These psychos are having it much too easy.makes it more interesting when...
