Back in the early 70's we camped at the site of Mount for three days. The weather was so beautiful we lolled around on the grass. Then we found our bodies infested with ticks. Never noticed or felt a thing. Got them out by dipping a rag into my VW gas tank and touching them with the rag. They...

But the house with the chimney, the chimney was quite a bit in front of the foundation, no? In this one it looks like the chimney, if that's what it is, is behind the foundation. Nature has erased almost all traces of the town of Friendship. Does anyone know how that town got its name?

It must be - I. Herbert Gordon. The beautifully written article was made almost 53 years ago. I think the "sun-drenched two-pump service station", was the place I saw it off in the distance and walked to after I had finally exited the woods and reached a road, after two days, and hiking eight...

My mistake. U R right it does work. I was thinking - rather not thinking - before that it was a link and nothing happened when i clicked on it. Duh.

But that link that i posted back then was removed. Does it work for you?

Ants r what attacks me out here, giant ones with huge pincers, and tiny ones that cause unbearable itching!

Oh that's something new. Thanks. I'm never troubled with them out here in the desert tho, tho I hear they're out here and dogs get them, but so far not me (knock on wood head). Back east tho, I had so many of them - Long Island, Arkansas...and the NJPB was the worst.

...that first brought the NJPB to my attention. But I am not allowed to post it on here. https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/wild-and-windswept-plains-that-only-the-jersey-pineys-know.12883/

Duh, it took me 8 1/2 years to notice I had posted the wrong picture right above! Sorry, I'm a little slow. The picture right above is me in the ghost town of Gleeson, AZ by a gravestone that says, "Yee Wee born in China, died in 1962 (I think) - "I see you tomorrow". This picture was taken...

I used to go down to the Pine Barrens from the late sixties to the mid 90's with a couple of forays up to ten years ago. I don't remember seeing a single one of those nasty things down there. It was very peaceful back then. They are all over the desert, where I am now, though.

I never heard them called chiggers back in the old days when i used to go down there to the Pines, but I'm no expert, I just had so many on me down there. Ticks are the only outdoor thing I'm afraid of. Back then i used to dip a rag in the gas tank of my VW Beetle and touch them with a little...

"prohibit legal vehicle access?" When i used to haunt the NJ Pine Barrens, from the late 1960's thru the 70's and 80's and early to mid 90's, and then occasionally into the early 2000's and even a couple of times since, there was pretty much nobody at all driving on those roads except me in my...

Here's me in the Barrens in a hard shell aluminum canoe, spring 1980. Where was I? I don't know. It looks like a place that was flooded. A friend brought this canoe down (I have some more photos of that trip) but I'd rent them there too. Are the PB canoe rental places still there? Those two...

Where did I get that goofy picture? I don't even remember posting that...looks like my old VW tho...and I do remember that guy in the desert. Probably nobody else would have picked him up with a tattoo like that, but wth I don't care. I picked up a Mexican with a rifle way out in the desert...

The way you do it on your photos? Can I do it to the photos that I've already posted here, or delete them and put my name-marked photos all in one place? Is there a way to search out the photos that I have already posted, like "Pan +attachment" or something?

I'm sorry about Fred. Wild blueberries are so much better than store bought like they are an entirely different thing, tart and bursting with vitamins. The kind in the store, including "organic", are bland. The best I think were in NY State, like in Bear Mountain State Park. They used to...

i have a few more i cld post if anyone is interested, and some i removed because people (besides me) were in them. Most from 1969 thru the early 70's, about 50 years ago. I don't think any have as much historical value as the one above, though. Other photos of mine r scattered around this...

Is that Mount? Aren't there some planted trees there, one of the only things showing that a town once existed, that and the dirt roads, and maybe that little "gaging station" - what's that? I'm remembering from 50 years ago. I don't recall going back there again, tho i must have passed through...

I camped out so many nights in the PB but never once in a public campground. I remember back in the 80s, talking to an officer at a rest area on the GSP or NJ Tpk. He told me there was a shooting death at the public campground the night before. Same thing when i worked briefly at the Grand...

I've always used north up on my GPS. If I don't do it like that i become disoriented, which i usually am anyway I've used gps since the times when hardly anyone knew what it was. I think my first unit was Garmin model 2. Then Garmin gave me a free upgrade to the 2+, which was the first to...
