Pine Branch Creek Sep 1971

Here's a few more old photos that i may not have posted before.

Ouch is right. Would they really make u wait 2 hours for something like that? " they did not have the tools to remove it" Don't even ambulances and rescue crews and police carry tools to rescue people from car accidents and the like, tools to saw or cut through things?

Bandanas r yet another thing that used to be made better.

sometimes attach photo works sometimes doesn't

picture didn't come out above (i still have that 1980 bandana) Unspecified place in 1980...u can c it wasn't always flooded because there were trees in the water...but i don't remember exactly where it was. It was right by where we parked.

" I did not see much garbage/debris" I used to paddle those PB rivers in either a rental canoe or my own inflatable kayak. I don't recall ever seeing any garbage on the rivers. John McPhee said the tea colored water was all drinkable, but i don't think i ever did it, maybe i did once or twice...

There didn't seem to be much (any) interest (except for my rare Friendship photo - which reminds me I was supposed to call back that lady at that Jersey college about it) so i took down a bunch of them, plus i don't know that i wanted to post them all anyway, plus i probably posted some of them...

I never knew that. It wasn't so marked on the maps I had (geo. survey map and Esso or Mobilgas free road map). It was my favorite entry to the PB. GW Bridge > NJ Tpk > Freeway > Rt 72 west The little bug ran great on those sandy roads.

1972. Ultralight backpacking in the PB plains.

"where did the last 20 years go??" 50

Boyd - JPG files, each about 500kb to 1 mb in size. Is that too big? At first when i tried, it only posted one picture - or was it two? But i remembered seeing a multiple something option so i deleted my 1 or 2 picture post and thought i'd try again with the multiple option, but when i did I...

The Plains NJPB 1971-1990 (never mind...) I had 13 photos of the old dwarf forest (that I first learned of in John McPhee's book) that I was going to attach but the attach files feature doesn't seem to be working for me now...and I saw an "attach multiple files" button before but now i don't...

Oh yes. Look at my avatar picture. That's me in the dwarf forest, the Plains, 50 years ago. I have posted other old photos of the Plains here too. But when i was last back there, ten years ago, I no longer towered over the forest like Paul Bunyan. The trees are now much taller.

Yes, my sign has nothing written on the bottom.

I saw TBJ - Tom Jones, the Tracker, right? - once when he gave a talk at Ramsey Outdoor store on rt. 17 N in NJ around the mid 90's. I remember he drove up in a Hummer. Sorry to say I got a bad impression of him. I had read his first book shortly after it came out and I was skeptical of a lot in...

I was looking to see if I had any more pictures of those two ghost towns scanned on my computer and i came across this one...I used to see a lot of these around the Barrens back then. Deer hunters platforms I think Or was it TJ...

They must have put those signs up shortly before I took that picture. It looked new in mine, but two years later when you took your picture the lettering was already worn off.

NJPB, site of Washington, 50 years ago, Nov 1972.
