    Man Goes Missing During Hunting Trip

    That man who murdered his daughter in law, or whoever she was, and then disappeared into Bear Mountain-Harriman State Park, in the autumn of 2012, they never found him either did they?

    The lost town of Friendship, NJ. I remember the day I took the picture, the quiet country sounds of the farm animals. It was already more than half abandoned...

    I sent you an email, Ben. EC - It looks like some sort of tank. I remember the livestock in Friendship, chickens and roosters and maybe sheep bleating or something. I remember the quiet country sound of the place.

    i tried to upload the new scanned photo here but i got an error message, maybe because the file is too big.

    I rescanned the slide. Not really any more detail on the blowups (available on the original page) because of the grain limitations in the film, but slightly more extension to the sides, especially the left side, showing the complete tank on top of the little shed, and a little more of that...

    Beats me, but the town was already going to ruin and only sparsely inhabited. The white building looks abandoned. Weren't all the inhabitants ordered to all move out by the next year or so? Why? Because the state bought the land and was going to build an airport there, or the military...

    Guy took the Friendship now photo. I was back there with him last year. It sure has changed. But deep in the woods it's all still the same. I remember the day I took that picture. It was the first time I went to Friendship. It was very quiet except for the sounds of farm animals. Real...

    Oh, I missed that. Is it the old Friendship post office? There's a big flag in front. You saw my photo of Friendship, right?

    Just got it. The photos in the back aren't as great as I remembered them, the only ones of particular interest being on the last two pages showing Fred Brown and his house. Otherwise any number of PB photos on here are way better. I don't really need it, so if anyone wants it I'll send it you...

    Time passes. The Pine Barrens came out in 1968, and the events that took place in it must have occurred a few years earlier, half a century ago. I just found a copy of McPhee's book on Ebay. I think it is the one we were talking about on here two and a half years ago, the one with photos...

    Windows 8 question....

    Anyway I'm same as you, undecided what to choose in new computer, leaning towards the 7. Seems to me 8 is meant for tablets.

    Man Goes Missing During Hunting Trip

    Do cell phones work in there? They didn't used to. If it wasn't for my old Garmin 2 GPS (no map) - and the battery was almost dead! - I would have never found that rental car that got bogged down in the sand in one of the most remote parts of the Barrens, oh about 13 or 14 years ago I guess...

    Windows 8 question....

    46er, it's not just leftovers that come with W7, it's the most expensive business class laptops, like this Lenovo W530: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/builder.workflow:Enter?sb=%3A00000025%3A00003717%3A&smid=F2A3EC7C45634AE8AB0F26CCAC867854&redir=y I...

    Windows 8 question....

    7 or 8 for new computer, I was wondering about that too. If 8 is so great why are they still selling the top of the line laptops with 7?

    Dear Pine Barrens: Cloud People exist.

    Yeah. Rt. 72 cuts right through The Plains (the dwarf forest). But I was there last year and it's not quite as awesome as it once was as the trees are taller now. It's still awesome, but it's no longer as if you were Paul Bunyan towering over an entire forest. I think that's due to fire...

    Dear Pine Barrens: Cloud People exist.

    What picture, Glenn? My atavar? That was me in the NJPB Plains, taken long ago. The trees in the Plains were shorter back then and I towered over the entire forest like Paul Bunyan. I posted more old photos of the Barrens, on the photo board, i think.
