It's all good. It looks like we are going to have a decent sized group, but we can always use more. Nice to hear you did Harrisville. Some of us picked up a ton of concrete and construction material from Bodine Field a couple of weeks ago.

I go by there about 2-3 times a week. The stacks are definitely gone but some of the mounds remain. I stopped and asked the constuction workers why they were taking down all the brickworks but not leveling the ground and they had no idea. They are basically just doing what they are told..... I...

I am not sure why I didn't notice this post earlier, but I am here to tell you that the Great Swamp (and all other swamp area of Wharton) are some of my favorite places to explore. I have found the logging machine (Swamp Monster) out there and have traversed that swamp many times. I would love...

I was looking to get together a CITO event (geocaching cleanup) around Earth Day. I was going to have it the 22nd and called Batsto and spoke to Gil Mika who told me that they were having their big cleanup/Earth Day celebraton on the 17th. SO... A bunch of us are meeting at Batsto at 9:30am...

Thanks, JM. As always, the wealth of knowledge available on this site amazes me....

Thanks Chris. I am doing my own little "project" to teach (and learn) about some of south Jersey's Legends and Lore (yes, I read the book!). There is just so much info out there, but sometimes none of it seems really detailed. Anyone have any stories about that day?

Just out of curiosity.. There was a tradition in the South Jersey farm communities in the 1800's called "Moving Day". I believe it took place near the Vernal Equinox (March 25th, maybe?). Does anyone have more info about it?

Thank you Detective, for the useful numbers. I programmed them into my phone as well. And we don't mean any disrespect calling you guys rangers...some habits are hard to break....

There are definitely some awesome spots in Centralia. I spent a whole day there about 6 months ago. It was very cool to see the smoke pouring out of the cemetery. I also visited the road that was pretty much completely gone. I don't remember which road it was, but you could see the remains...

Being from NY, I can tell you that you CAN be stopped if not moving over when you see a LEO pulling someone over. in NY, the good thing is that the officer(s) are usually so busy with the moke they pulled over they will not stop you. The bad news is, that in NJ, there are usually many more...

As an ex-LEO and a Wheeler, I will swing by and see what is going on...

The street view on Google Maps is a very cool thing. I had a friend from Arizona send me a puzzle cache that required you to drive places to solve it and a team of us here on the east cost solved it with Google Maps. It required information from statues , speed signs, and roadside attractions...

I just wanted to add an update and a thank you to Ed. Karma really is a joy and very funny. She is completely spoiled. The minute a light comes on in the morning, she squeals away until I say good morning. If the crisper drawer on the fridge opens and she hears it, she squeals until she gets...

Jim Jones and Nas are rap as well as Jay-Z and Omarion. Hey, I have a 24 year old city boy son....lol

OK, change in plans, lol. I was on my way home today and decided to swing by the Atsion office today to find out some info about Earth Day. There was a sign on the door saying that the office was closed INDEFINITELY and to go to the Batsto office. When did this happen? But I digress. I went...

I am going to put this out here and see what kind of response I can get. I was thinking of organizing a cleanup in Wharton (maybe the Atco area), the weekend after Earth Day. (The 24th). If enough people are willing to participate, I will contact some people and get us a truck and stuff...

I didn't realize it was a weekday. That Saturday sounds like a better idea. Let me get in touch with some people in Park Services and see if I can arrange something.... I'll start a new thread as soon as I get more info....

I am gonna merge something I was going to post into this thread and if you all like it, I will start a new thread. Earth Day this year is April 22nd (I think). I was thinking about organizing a clean up in Wharton or Lebanon SF this year. I try to do this once a year, it has been done in...

We have met Dave. At the Atco cleanup. I had the green Dakota that we used when the dump truck was full. We talked about my old Suzuki a little...

I just had something pop up. I still really need to get up there to talk to Bonnie. If anyone wants to go near the end of the week (Friday maybe) let me know...
