Well this is good news. Can't wait to see the site/remains of the Ellis Adams Farmhouse. And now I know you don't have the site confused with that of Nash's Cabin. Nash's Cabin is 3.2 miles from the Martha Furnace site according to my truck odometer.

On my home page, I have links to every relevant website that I could find. You could check out the NJ section of my page. All the sites are listed there together. I think Pinelore and a couple others might be comparable in size to yours, but I'm not sure. As I say, people can check my page and...

I'm reading this book right now. I'm about 75 pages into it and I'm really enjoying it. I just started the chapter about Wistarberg. When I bought this book, I expected it to be about some of the ghost towns of South Jersey, like Father Beck's books, but even so, I find it very interesting. I...

I checked off that I did not want e-mail notification. I figured it would be easy just to log onto this board and read it. I like message boards.

westy, I hear you. I come here a couple times a week looking for new posts as well. I also post some things here once in a while, but my posts get little or no response. I see there are 20 registered users of this board, and I would think there would be a whole lot more. But the most surprising...

Will it be on tape some day? And will it ever be more than 8 minutes? (like a half hour tv special) I'd like to see it but my computer has no sound and I only have a standard, 56K modem. Thanks. It sounds great.

I compiled this list from all the ones I own, plus all the ones I'm looking for. There are 47 books and booklets listed here and there are more that are NOT listed. Hope this is helpful to some. 1. Forgotten Towns of Southern New Jersey, by Henry Charlton Beck 2. More Forgotten Towns of Southern...

I've been talking about this for a couple weeks on my online club on Yahoo. Here's the final announcement for the trip. All are invited. Hopefully everyone won't have to drive his/her vehicle for the whole trip. Anyway, here's the text of the announcement: Alright. I've decided on how the trip...

Hey. I like the idea too. Sounds great. By the way, shouldn't this message be in the "people meeting people" category? :) Barry

Bob, E-mail me if you'd like, at criterion1974@yahoo.com, and we'll work out the details. This coming Thursday or Friday, the 27th or 28th, would be good for me. We can get hoagies or something at Farmer John's in Nesco, or we could go a little further away and eat at the diner in Egg Harbor...

Does anyone know where these two are buried? Fred Brown was one of the people that John McPhee talked to, when he wrote his book, The Pine Barrens. And of course Pierce wrote Iron in the Pines and a couple others. We know about Beck's place of burial (Camden), and now I'd like to know about...

I'm free EVERY day from Christmas Eve through New Years day. But I'll undoubtedly be spending time with my lady friend on some of those days. I'll find out what days she works and I'll let you know before the end of the week.

Bob, Sounds like a plan. Let's choose a day and we'll do it. While we're at it, I'll show you some other plants that I can't ID so far. They've got me stumped. Barry

Does anyone have any theories as to why there are always so many Turkey Vultures congregating on top of the Egg Harbor City water tower? Someone commented to me about it and I didn't have an answer and hadn't noticed it before, but now I take notice when I drive up Philadelphia Avenue. There are...

This fall I took a lot of pictures of Pine Barren Heather, Hudsonia ericoides. The last place I saw it was on the road that runs past the Batsto Lake and dumps onto the Quaker Bridge Road, just east of the the bridge. Along that road I found some Pine Barren Heather that was knee-high and I took...

Yes. Friendship near Speedwell.

The code # is 198. So it's alt- 0198. I got that off the following web page: http://www.fingertipsoft.com/3dkbd/ansitable.html

I'm wondering if anyone who reads this board has ever found the locations/remains of some of the less famous iron furnaces, such as the Gloucester Furnace, Ætna Furnace, the furnace at Cumberland, and some others I can't think of at the moment. The Gloucester Furnace was somewhere in the woods...

Does anyone know when, and by whom, the buildings were burned in Friendship? I think Maryanne Thompson told me once, but I wasn't listening carefully enough to remember now. That was a couple years ago. I'm very curious what happened to the town. The book, Heart of the Pines, simply says it was...
