My 1957 rear wheel drive VW Beetle went through those narrow sandy Pine Barrens roads great. I think this one in the (1971) picture was a '61, but I did have a '57 VW briefly too. I had a few of them. I'm forgetting which was which now. My last one was a 1968 Super Beetle that I bought used...

I used to go on century rides - 100 mile bicycle rides - starting in - I forgot the name of that nice town in central NJ - and going into PA. Once I went up a long hill, as I recall, to a town named Zion in NJ. I felt like I had entered the Twilight Zone. I saw robotic people walking stiffly...

Pineland-P, Pine Branch C is hard to find, I'm in a bind It slips my mind. It seems to be situated by a hamlet called "Blackwood Ter", which must stand for Terrace, I guess, but u never know in New Jersey. It's not like we're talking about a civilized place. They actually play golf in New...

Seriously though, it makes me happy to know that deep within the Pine Barrens it still remains the same. Below - Pine Branch Creek 22 Sep 1971. pinelandpaddler - I too used to be a pineland paddler. Unfortunately I can't figure out a way to make that rhyme with green ham. If I could I would...

:)

Yeah b-b-but maybe it changed since you were there last! :)

Where should I send my hat? :(

Can you find that exact place again? If I'm wrong - but I'm never wrong - the last time they thought I was wrong was in 1861 but it turned out I was right and they were wrong! - but if I'm wrong, I'll throw my hat up in a tree - or mail u my hat to throw up for me - and ever after the place...

It's not a tree Why can't you see? It's not green ham It's not a damn It's not ice cream It's just a stream! It could use some additional pixels.

Better...

This is much ado about nothing I guess, but here is the "shadow" enlarged. The texture of the so-called shadow looks like water with little wavelets compared to the adjoining "mud". Different surface. Also, judging by the sunlight and shadows on the leaves and branches it seems to be midday...

Yes, Bobpbx, that's what I'm speaking of, what u r calling a shadow, except your encircled area goes too high. What looks like a stream of water gets lost in the grass around and above that horizontal branch. "You can still see the water behind the shadow." Don't know what u mean by "behind...

No, I don't think it is something solid like a tree or pipe, or a camera artifact, or a shadow. It looks like water to me, a small trench, most likely a stream. The rest of what looks like a wide stream may be mud - or maybe it's an underground pipe related to that raised trail. If I wasn't...

The shadow of what? I don't see anything there to cast that long shadow. Also, It looks like it was mid-day with the sun coming from high overhead. Also, I think there's more vegetation in the dark place than the light. I think it's a trench.

My response seems to have gotten itself attached to the wrong post. I meant to attach it to Dash Ryan's photo (post #39).

What's that almost vertical dark thing? Is that a fallen tree, or a pipe, or a depression in the ground?

Possibly, as I didn't go down that far south. I went up north to the intriguing big green mostly blank spot on the Esso or Mobilgas road map centered around Chatsworth, Rt 72, 539, down to Batsto. I don't believe John McPhee mentioned turkeys in his late 1960s book, The Pine Barrens either. I...

I never saw a turkey in the PB in the old days.

Turkey dinner coming to you for Thanksgiving!
