Lip? Must be an inside joke...

I was back east, staying in a motel in Edison NJ, right in the middle of it!

I don't think there was anything at all, except what I mentioned, still there, but I could be wrong, it was almost fifty years ago. I think we were there for three days and didn't see a soul. There were no off roaders or dirt bikers in the Pines back then. It was very pleasant and peaceful -...

A different account of the Fenton and Farr gangs: https://allthingsliberty.com/2021/06/loyalist-banditti-of-monmouth-county-new-jersey-jacob-fagan-and-lewis-fenton/ They mention the Old Yellow Meeting House. That was one of my favorite stops in the long bike trips I'd make through Monmouth...

But the picture is gone now.

The spot where Fagan was hung up to slowly die was henceforth thought to be haunted - a large oak at the fork of two roads one of which leads to Freehold...

I can't find anything on the Pine Barrens ghost town, Mount. We camped there for a few days about 1973. There was nothing left of the town except the old dirt road intersection and some of the planted vegetation and the name on my geological survey map. It was beautiful weather and we were...

I spent a lot of time in those woods back then, camping, backpacking, hiking, and canoeing. I don't recall ever meeting any hostile Pineys, aside from the guy in the biplane who strafed me with bug spray!

I think I took it at the place where I was with you in autumn 2012.

It used to be so nice and quiet in the Pines, just the sounds of whipoorwills and tree frogs and the wind. There were none of those things.

When i used to go down to the Pines in the late 60s and 70s and 80s and even 90s, being NJ, everything was of course against the law, but i rarely saw anyone in there so no one ever bothered me, except once when i walked what i thought was deep into the woods and set up my tent - and a man came...

Me (right in the middle) wearing my Jersey Devil t shirt (made by my girlfriend). c 1980.

Those big old topo maps were what i used when hiking and backpacking in the Pines in the 60s and 70s. I coated them to make them water resistant, but that also made them even harder to fold up. That and an Esso or Mobilgas road map and a compass was all i had. Chatsworth, Woodmansie, Oswego...

It looks like a sap collecting bucket.

He stabbed the boy to death and they released him in less than 2 years!

Them sound like they might be fighting words in the KY hills! RednekF350 - The closest i cld get to that yankee was a kid in my elementary school class who showed me a framed letter on his wall purportedly written by his great great grandfather or something to Lincoln suggesting he grow a...

Wow - just read that. Bad things happen when u least expect it.

Lake Oswego, NJPB, Oct 1990

Huckleberry Island in the Long Island Sound off the coast of New Rochelle. July 1991.

I used my ik all over - in rivers, lakes, bays, and even out into the ocean off the coast. My last one that i had for a long time was the Sea Eagle Explorer. It was very strong, made of the same material they use for inflatable power boats. I have a photo of it at Lake Oswego in the PB on here...
