    Best Places for Photographs

    I never get tired of photographing at Batsto, I always find new ways to look at those old buildings. The White Trail leading out from there (4 miles) is also good for some nice woods and lake shots. Nearby, you can park at the Pleasant Mills Church lot and walk down the road to the old paper...

    Where is this?

    Alright, I want to play. My pictures aren't quite as good, but let's give it a whirl. Where is this?

    Delaware Memorial Bridge closed

    A contractor dumped 55,000 tons of dirt without permission at the base of the bridge. From what I heard on the radio, engineers suspect that this compressed the land on the one side of the supports and compromised them, causing them to tilt when they would not have otherwise. Dug up an...

    not cool

    Overall, the site is well done, the tone is one of an exciting adventure (rather than disrespectful or crazy "BIGFOOT! ALIENS! BIGFOOTED ALIENS! ALSO GHOSTS!"), and it's a great thing that these kids care enough to share it. I enjoy reading it and thinking "Wow, I haven't been to/thought...

    Delaware Memorial Bridge closed

    It's a disaster, I hope the string the contractor who did all that illegal dumping up by his toes. The in-laws are down that way, and traffic (which usually wasn't very good) is now really, really not good.

    New Sign

    The sign regarding our friend is identical to the one in Worthington at the water gap. I wouldn't read too much into this, I know the guy in charge at Wharton has been serious about improving campground management, and these are some fairly standard state camping signs.

    Bombing Range Road?

    Glenn - Blueberry Hill hikes - http://southjerseytrails.wordpress.com/2013/04/16/blueberry-hill-trails-gibbsboro-nj/ It's a nice little walk around back there, and the radar station next door (now a town park, but originally part of the air defense system for Philadelphia) is neat too. The...

    Camping

    It's $3 a night per person now, inflation and all. The park offices make me nuts with the permits, they won't give them to you ahead of time (even when you've paid for them), and they close at 4. Who can get out there by 4 on a Friday?

    Directions to Ongs Hat

    In the past, I've usually gone with the iodine pills, because I have no patience with filters. I'm saving for one of the squeeze pouch ones that have come out the last few years, no moving parts to break! Some buddies have been raving about the UV light ones, super easy and they work quickly.

    Lakehurst Naval Air Station Tours?

    Took a while to get around to looking at my pictures, the usual end of the school year craziness. However, the June 14th trip to Lakehurst was excellent! Perfect weather and a nice bright day for pictures. The tour meets up at the Cathedral of the Air outside of the base proper. The...

    Parker Preserve Trails

    Went out Memorial Day to hike the White Trail through the preserve. Beautiful sunny day to be out, with a nice breeze. Its listed at three miles, but I had a bit over 3.5 on my GPS. The highlight of this hike (actually, pretty much the whole trail) is running through the old cranberry bogs...

    Where is this?

    My guess would have been Buttonwood Campground. Glad I saved myself the embarrassment of guessing wrong ;)

    Pine Grove Church

    Are they going backwards? I hope they finish fixing her up before something happens to her.
