Hopelessly lost is half the fun :D I did about thirty miles of the Batona Trail in the Scouts, but the whole thing in four days? Sheesh!

Here's what's in the new Weird NJ issue... I didn't spot too much to worry about 'round here. CHERRY HILL RACE TRACK NO MORE, can't be too much trouble 'caused there, what are they gonna do, hang out at the Country Buffet and then visit THE ANCIENT SITE OF THE CHERRY HILL RACE TRACK, now...

I think the restoration of The Palace would be the masterpiece in any revitalization effort in Asbury Park, but I suppose the officials don't see it that way. Living just outside Camden, whenever I pass the old and now restored RCA building with Nipper shining out from above again, it makes me...

Not quite the Pine Barrens, but certainly a beloved Jersey icon... April 3, 2004 Asbury Park demolition will save beloved Tillie ASBURY PARK -- There's more than one way to save face. Even when it's a very big one. The Palace Amusements building -- a beloved but decrepit 19th century...

bruset, thanks, I hope the family continues to save it...

Oh, this is cute...

Ockanickon was going to close down? That would have been awful. I spent three summers there in the camping program, as well as my 6th grade orientation, and a few Boy Scouts trips. It's a great camp, I had a wonderful time there...

Yo duder, give it a rest, alright?

Wow, those campground pictures are great. Imagine finding all that hidden away like that. I'm sorry that the phone is gone, I'd have liked to see that!

What tick repellents work? When I was in the Scouts, I always used Cutter, but I'm not sure that it ever did any good...

I posted this on Barry's list, but didn't get a reply, so now you folks are burdoned with it :P I finished reading Tales and Towns of Northern New Jersey the other day, and I realized that Father Beck must have had a whole lot of material that was not included in the book, or that came in...

What a deal! :rolleyes:

Beck mentioned that some of the tunnels were actually underground kilns, but I haven't a clue how that would have worked... If you catch paintballers there, yell at them...

One lady's motorcycle ride through Chernobyl This is a facinating page full of photographs and descriptions of a lady's trip through the ghost town of Chernobyl, USSR. Chernobyl, of course, was the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster to date. The population of the entire area was...

Wow, those are some great pictures! I've never been to Colorodo, but I'd like to go now...

It's just a shame they didn't get the orginal studies done in the '80s due to lack of money, then they'd have had a baseline to work off of now...

I heard that it was somewhat disapointing, but I've been trying to get my hands on it to see. Heck, it can't be worse than The 13th Child!

Yep, it's still in print, but is currently printed as Pine Barrens Legends & Lore by William McMahon. Crites knows why they dropped the "& Lies" from the end, but I checked both titles and it's definately the same contents. It'll run ya $10. You can also find used copies a bit cheaper...

I got it a while back when the Marks came down this a way for a book signing. Nice guys, and an entertaining book. I do like how they run their ship (very Father Beck), but they could use some help on their South Jersey stuff...

Tom, I think you're talkin' about Jerry Munyhon. The quick version of the story is that one day, Jerry was looking for work at one of the furnaces in the Pines, but was turned down. Some say that the furnace was shut down when he filled it with black and white crows. He was then given the...
