I figured someone on here would know the answer to this question. Is it possible to kayak the very lower part of the Delaware River, say, near Philly? I know that's a little out of the Pine Barrens area, but everything I've looked up about it has no info at all about kayaking through that area...

Made a trip out to Apple Pie Hill on Friday night and once again the tower was smashed. I know it's happed a couple times already, but this one looked pretty bad. The rangers, or whoever, left the light on I guess to try and keep people away and we could clearly see all the windows smashed and...

Drove past all of this on the way to Chatsworth on Friday night. There were a lot of cars at the wading river bridge at 10:30 and when we came back at 11:45 there were even more. Figured someone was missing since they were at the canoe landing and didn't see a wrecker for a car in the river...

Wow. What a shame. I didn't know it burned. It was a very neat house, and although I don't know if I would have lived in that exact one, building a replica would have been really neat (not that I build replicas of houses, it just seems like that would have been neat.) It seems like too much gets...

Atsion Chris, I did notice a black truck like you said, but when I walked past it no one was near it. I walked up the grass from the church and cemetery at around 10:45 - 48. Must have just missed you. And Guy, yeah I saw the doors open and people in the mansion so I assumed it was open...

Atsion Damn, missed the trip. I forgot to check to see what time the meet up was. I spent the night near Batsto in the back of my truck, woke up around 8:00, and drove quaker bridge road to atsion and got there around 9:00. Walked around for about 2 hours and still didn't see anyone that I...

Boyd, ha, didn't even notice the date. And got the name wrong. Lol. I just got so excited!:dance:

Great write-up Bach3Yoga. You should put this on wikipedia. A lot of info in there. From the research I did a long time ago, there were something like 14 of these plants built and most were torn apart in one way or another. I found an article on google that showed a trip someone made to one...

Martha That's funny you mention that huge piece of metal being at Martha, and I'm not trying to hijack here, but.... on the Oswego river just below the Martha's furnace dam is a left, right, left bend before heading towards the "out of service" road bridge. Just before the right turn is a huge...

Pemberton Station It is indeed a neat place to check out. They have a lot of equipment stored there, and all sorts of other railroad stuff. That's neat they're doing some excavating and I can't wait to see the stuff they dig up in there. Here's a link to some photos...

Unbridge Cool report ecampbell. I checked out that area only about a month or two ago and explored from the campground side. It appeared to me that there is a possible furnace location on the road or "dam" just before you get to the pilings at the water. There is a funny kind of cut to the...

Atsion I believe I would be able to make it as well. Sounds like a good time and a great chance to meet you guys. and I don't even want to get myself worked up about the wings and beer!

Mansion Man, I would love to check that mansion out. Sometimes I'll just sit at an old site like that and just try to picture what it looked like in it's heyday. I'm just imagining a setting sun dipping across the lake as carriages line up in front of the mansion for a mid summer Satruday...

The "little red schoolhouse" as we used to refer to it when I lived near there. I believe it's called the Gertrude Lauer School and it's been there for a long time. Darmstadt has had farms on it since the late-middle 1800's and I'm sure the schoolhouse was used for the families there. I went...

Just saw the thread about the mansion being open, and thanks for the heads up Turtle. I didn't want to hijack the thread but I also wanted to let people know that the school was open for tours also. 2 weeks ago I noticed that someone ripped the plywood off the front of the school doorway. It...

Jim Great looking trip. Were the gnats bad? You should really check out Bayside and Caviar at low tide when you get a chance. There's a lot more to see, and there's a ton of stuff that's hidden under the water. I'm planning on heading out to the Thompsons area within the next month. Looks like a...

Beaches Awesome looking trip James. I love that section of the Delaware Bay and there really is a lot to see there. It looks like going at low tide lets you see a whole lot more. What a cool looking place, and that lighthouse is really neat looking. I've driven past that place so many times...

Rockwood Wow, what a neat site you found with the photos Guy. I personally wouldn't mind spending my after life in the pine barrens. Some people have a love for it that won't let go. I don't know if anyone else has seen them, but I'm sure people have, but there is a pretty recent grave in the...

Mounts Took a ride out to Devious Mt. today to see what that was all about, (thanks for the heads up on it James!) Pretty neat place. On the topo map it seemed like it rose up somewhat on the steep side, but really it's more gradual than it appeared. There's no road leading to it from the...

Mountains Thanks to everyone for the information provided. Spung-man, thanks a lot for that explenation about the eroded riverbeds. That clears up a lot of mysteries about why the dirt was colored the way it was and why there was such a concentration of gravel. That's pretty neat. Using this...
