I have never heard of this place. I have a brother who has lived in Sewell for 28 years and he has never heard this spot either.

Good call. You got it. They threw the trash off their car’s hood and onto the ground and I ended up picking it up a week later and taking it home with me. I had to clean up after them twice. :) While I would agree with you in principle on vigilante justice, I’m not always opposed to it. The...

It’s a virtual certainty they were the guilty party. There would have been a small window for anybody else to hike back there, cook food, eat and return back to the trailhead without me passing them. They cooked their meal on a camp stove with a propane canister. It’s not likely anybody just...

I was hiking the Batona in Bass River and as I approached a spot to stop and relax on Ives Pond I saw the ground littered with cans, plastic, food wrappers and a spent propane canister. None of that was there when I had passed by a few hours earlier. The only other people I saw on the trail were...

If you reported that a town had been taken over by tramps, it would have a completely different meaning today than it did when that article was published in 1886. :-)

Sorry for the late response. I just saw this. If you want to PM me your itemized billing that would be fine. If I add in my cell phone bill to my land line, internet and cable TV, I’m paying $360 a month. I’m starting to miss the days of getting strangled by the phone cord as I’m trying to...

I have had to be the bearer of bad news to a few people who got their vehicles stuck in the pines over the years and inform them that their roadside service does not cover a tow if you get stuck off road.

If you’re ever hiking alone and you cross paths with people who make you a little nervous, tell them you’re hiking with a group who should be catching up any minute now.

I saw that article. I managed a fast food restaurant for a year after college and one of my duties was to teach food safety to the employees. Serving meat past its expiration date is no joke. The bacteria and mold growing on that meat can seriously sicken people and even kill a person who is...

I fished Lake Lenape on Sunday. Right now the water level is pretty low. Lake Lenape is a good lake for fishing, but it is also one of the two lakes in South Jersey where you are allowed to use an outboard motor with unlimited power. There were several water skiers and boats towing inner tubes...

Cranes can make an awfully loud screeching sound if you startle them. If you think about it, they do have the body shape of the mythical Jersey Devil. One could see how someone could be walking in the pines in low light at dusk or dawn and startle a crane fishing in a stream, then mistake its...

Wow, that was really cold for the Army not to give your stepfather a hardship discharge to care for children.

The only real purpose for my land line is to call my cell phone so I can hear it ring and find it when it’s lost. :cool:

I do the same thing when I call them. I tell them I’m considering dropping everything.

I see lots of cranes in the marsh where I live and in the freshwater lakes, ponds and streams I fish, but in all the years I have hiked in NJ I have never seen one in a pine barrens stream.

Let me preface this by saying that I think the NJ Pine Barrens is a pretty safe place. I have hiked thousands of miles, sometimes at night, and I have camped out in many places, and I have never felt like I was ever in any real danger. I was hiking the Batona Trail one fall evening in a...

Rather than start a new thread, I’ll ask my question here. Does anybody else use Comcast (Xfinity) for their internet, land line and cable TV? If so, I’m curious what you pay each month. My bill had risen to $319 a month in February of this year, so I called and complained. Told them I was...

About 60 miles.

A guy ran a light in Camden County and totaled the car I was driving. I didn’t want to bother my family for a ride, so I checked Uber. The rate was $170…so I decided to bother my family. :)

You could try calling Mick’s Canoes & Kayak rentals in Chatsworth. They may be able to shuttle you to and from your destination
