    Climbing the fire tower near Rt 72 in Lebanon State Forest

    I'm kind of suprised that its only 20' taller. I guess its the way the stairs go back and forth diagonlly.

    Climbing the fire tower near Rt 72 in Lebanon State Forest

    I was backpacking the Batona Trail this weekend with the Scouts and we ended up eating our lunch at the base of the tower. We wouldn't let the kids climb up past the first landing (that tower is really friggin' tall, it makes Apple Pie Hill's tower look tiny), but has anyone climbed that tower...

    Beer (again)

    Now I know what thread everyone hangs out at all the time... My favorite has to be Yuengling, followed by PBR. I also go through phases where I want nothing but either Guiness or Harp. There is an old looking bottle under glass at one of the bars on 72 by 4 mile circle labeled "Ye Olde...

    I don't think that the third floor will ever be opened up to the public, insurance rates are almost impossible to obtain if a place does not have two ways out. The only way I could see them letting people up to the third floor is if they put in a fire escape on the outside of the house, and the...

    Vermont pictures

    So I took my Scouts to Vermont recently for a whole week. We camped right on Lake Champlain and made visits to Burlington, the Green Mountains, the Winooski River, Fort Ticonderoga, and a couple of other place. I managed to drop and break my camera on Day 2 of the trip (thank goodness for...

    seabreeze will be no more

    I visited Seabreeze a few years back when they were building the wall. It's definately a neat little place to see. I should head back there before the state knocks everything to the ground. I uploaded the couple of pictures of Seabreeze into my pictures section...

    Ditto what everyone else was saying, it was a great outting and many thanks to Ben for setting it up. It was really awesome to see the mansion inside for the first time, and I was suprised at just how much I enjoyed seeing a building stripped of all furniture and almost all decorations. Did...

    Fire Control Tower #23, Cape May, NJ

    It's a bit South of the Pines, but Fire Control Tower #23 (located between the Cape May Lighthouse and Sunset Beach, aka home of the SS Atlantus) is now open for tours. I went through on Friday with my girlfriend, it was quite an interesting little tour. The downstairs tells the history of...

    I haven't been on the board in a long while, but I was actually planning on heading over there tomorrow for the tour anyway (I'm about 15 minutes away now). If its not too late, my girlfriend and I will be showing up. If it is too late, we'll just wander around by ourselves, looking sad and...

    Amatol

    Still an excellent post. I need to explore Amatol sometime, it's been on the "to-do" list for too long. bach2yoga runs her own website now: http://www.njpinelandsanddownjersey.com/ I like this site better, but the other site has its perks. I recomend checking out the e-books section.

    Ole's Ranch/Sally Starr's Ponderosa (not the pizza place)

    Since I started this thread, I've been lucky enough to swap e-mails with some of the family members of Ole Larsen, so I've expanded the article a bit. I've taken more pictures as well, but I need to find myself a photo editor that will shrink them down before I add them. Virtua Hospital (which...
