    Your maps are awesome, Boyd. Wish I would have had that back then, and a GPS to go with it! All I had were the big awkward to use USGS maps, and I do recall that some were revised more recently updated than others, but I think the newest revisions I had were 1956, some going back to 1949 or...

    Then turn left on the sandy road and right by the pine tree and there you are!

    "No, that's why I asked you! " All I remember about it - I think! - was that it (the old barn) was all by itself in the woods near where my survey map showed Duke's Bridge. "Looking a little closer, that USGS Topo was printed in 1993 but wasn't updated since 1956. " 1956, yep those were the...

    Oh OK, but shouldn't it say sites of historical structures? Do you see anything likely to be that old barn? It was in the woods all by itself with that little dirt path curving around it. If you could find the site there would probably still be remains of it, like old wood and nails...

    Boyd, I think u r trying to get me to eat an old hat! My barn looked like it would be lucky to last two days longer and that was fifty years ago! Too bad I don't have the GPS coordinates. You could have looked for the remains. As it is, the only slight clue to its location is the dirt road...

    Toyota 4runner

    I similarly own a 2009 Ford F150 4X4 V8 6 1/2' bed with shell that I use as a camper. About 250,000 miles. My previous truck was a 1997 F150 4WD V8 which I traded in at 332,000 miles. It still ran perfectly. So does my 2009 - knock on wood head! - except the seals leak oil, which my '97 never...

    And a free bonus picture of an abandoned barn in Dukes Bridge, 22Sep1971. If that barn is still there I'll eat Ong's hat!

    Another one of Friendship I just scanned, taken 25 years later than the one above when there were still people and animals living there. 24 July 1996. Is that foundation still visible?

    Wolfspider found the W.P. 1700 stone!

    Too bad you didn't take it yourself, now looking back, and put it in a museum, in Batsto or someplace. I used to carve the dates i climbed up Windham High Peak in the Catskill mountains, every year, in the 60s and 70s, into the rock, but the last time i was up there, about 12 years ago, the...

    Bamber Lake Club/Camp Columbus. Say Hello.

    I recall one night camping out by Bamber Lake, in 1970, and the night sounds - the bullfrogs - it was so loud! I haven't heard night sounds like that in many years.

    Realm of the Piney Warden

    "I'm glad you survived your "North By Northwest" incident! " That was about the size of it, except my attacking enemy aircraft didn't blow up. But that was the last time I ever went down there without my 40mm anti-aircraft gun.

    Realm of the Piney Warden

    Beautiful photo - HDR right? - but I don't know about homaging the PB cranbury growers. One of them came by in his biplane and strafed me with weed killer or bug spray almost fifty years ago! How many guys do you know who are alive today who have been strafed by a biplane?

    Ever asked to donate a photo?

    Whatever happened to my rare town of Friendship photo that I gave permission to use in a new book on the NJPB in exchange for a copy of the book? I did the same for a guy making a photo book about my old neighborhood in northern Manhattan, Inwood, but I actually got that book.

    It Sure Felt Like A Bee ...But Was It?

    Some ferocious insect dive bombed me in the Arizona desert last year and I had to run for it. I didn't even see what it was. It bit my nose and was coming back for more. It was very fast and made a loud buzzing sound. A few weeks ago I was bit by an ordinary bee. That was unusual because...

    New law: no smoking in public parks, forests?

    Ha ha no doubt! But the Volvo 544 was newer than the 444. My '58 Saab only had 3 cylinders to begin with. 2 stroke engine. I had to mix oil with the gas. It was a neat car. Very unusual and innovative. I paid 195 for it and sold it for 250. I have fond memories of it too. The Volvo not so...
