Has anyone ever been to the Pine Barrens on Long Island, NY? I've been reading about it online. http://pb.state.ny.us/ http://www.pinebarrens.org/ In all the material online I've seen White Cedars mentioned a little bit, but I can't tell for sure if they have any cedar swamps there. I'm very...

Hi Jeff, I visited Webb's Mill Bog with someone who lives in that area. I had never been there. We parked our vehicle on the side of the road, walked a little path into the woods and there it was, the boardwalk. There was Curly Grass Fern galore! There was even more Thread-leaf and...

This is an excellent novel and is based on fact. Unfortunately my copy is lent out, but hopefully I'll be getting it back soon. I highly recommend this book. I'm not sure if it is still in print and if so how much it sells for, but $5.99 is not bad. Bidding ends on the 29th. Barry

Where did all this come from? What in the world are you talking about? I can guess at some of it, but I feel like I've jumped into the middle of a conversation. Where's the beginning? This string seems to have come from nowhere. :) Barry

Go to http://www.abebooks.com/ , and search using that title and you will find it. The bookseller is in Virginia. There are 17 other copies of this book to be found at that site. For Atlantic County residents, or anyone that wants to learn about Atlantic Couty, this is THE book to own. It tells...

Don't you think this is kind of strange? I dunno. I guess people collect these things. But since it is a current plate, it seems odd to me. It is currently at $49 and it ends tonight. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2122894984 Granted it's a beautiful plate and I have a set of...

Hey Ben Did you know, the authors of Heart of the Pines, Trail of the Blue Comet, and Weymouth, NJ are all members of the group on Yahoo? That's pretty cool. They've had some interesting input so far.

Cool. My "Patriots, Pirates and Pineys", "Wilderness Wetlands in Spring", "Heart of the Pines", "Wildflowers of the Pine Barrens of NJ", "Harrisville" and "Weymouth, NJ" are all signed. And my copy of "Absegami Yesteryear" was the author's personal copy given to him by the publishers. But I've...

I was looking on Amazon and saw this. I don't know if it's a new book or not, but it's new to me. It's called The Barrens: a Novel of Suspense and it was written by Joyce Carol Oates. I read the description and it sounds good. I'll ask for it for my birthday. :)

Wow. That's amazing. Well you got yourself a good deal, and a good book. I figured it might close with no bids but yours.

Check it out. This is THE edition of this book to have. If you don't have it, now's your chance to get it cheap. Opening bid is $6. Auction closes on the 22nd. I highly recommend this.

Ben I noticed that the get-together forum never gets any traffic. I posted about my last outing and nobody responded. In fact I had forgotten to post about my outing coming up. I just took care of that now. After that outing I will hold future outings as well. I'm open to suggestions. I'm...

I'm leading this outing for members of my group on Yahoo, but anyone that is interested can come along. The following is the text of my latest update of the announcement I made to my group. All are welcome and anyone can bring friends too, that is, if they are interested. Bring whatever you...

Opening bid is $15. "This is the March 9, 1805 issue of Prices Current, a single sheet weekly publication by the United States Gazette For the Country newspaper published in Philadelphia. The rear of the sheet has an ad for the sale of Job's Point in the township of Great Egg Harbor in...

Guy, I appreciate your report and photos. I can't believe the lack of traffic at this message board since it was started. Maybe all the true enthusiasts of the Pines don't spend much time online. I dunno. When I post things here, I see very few hits on my posts, even after a week or a month. Yet...

Oh yeah. I was thinking strictly of the photos in the galleries. I forgot about the front page photo.

Guy, I don't mind at all. But I don't think it will work. Pictures from our club on Yahoo won't show up on a public forum because Yahoo requires a person to be a member in order to view the photo albums on the club.

Ben, I have a huge collection. Forgotten Towns, More Forgotten Towns, Jersey Genesis, The Jersey Midlands, The Roads of Home, Iron in the Pines, Family Empire in Jersey Iron, Smugglers' Woods, Harrisville, by Angelo N. Dellomo. Weymouth, New Jersey, by Robert F. Johnson. Living with the Pine...

I'm not sure if this location is within the Pine Barrens, or "Pinelands", but there is a place somewhere in Cape May County called Timber Beaver Swamp, or Beaver Swamp. In this swamp there is a single Bald Cypress tree in an apparently wild state. It is supposed to be the only such tree in...

I've been to that cemetery, but only once, years ago. I'd love to see the Pyxie and Trailing Arbutus. Near me, within the city limits of Egg Harbor City there is a ghost town called Gloucester, or Gloucester Furnace. On the high ground there, there is a lot of Pine Barren Heather, Yucca, and...
