Trolley The amusement park website is great! When I saw the trolley, I immediately recalled that my friend's dad had found trolley tokens, I believe they had holes in the center with the name of the park encircling the hole. Being a kid of 10 in '64, I just could not envision an amusement park...

Yes! Yes, I remember now, someone once told me it was called Washington Park--I completely forgot! Thanks! I look forward to Jerseyman's input too!

Another "Amusement Park"? Your posts are always informative, Jerseyman. I enjoy them alot. In fact, your post here has stimulated some brain-cells on vacation, so here goes. When I was a kid I recall stories from a friend about some woods adjoining the (Deptford/Westville?) Texaco refinery on...

Mullica River Lots of hairpins curves--sometimes the rear of your canoe is in front of you (LOL!)--be prepared to WORK on this trip---now a Kayak, well that would be a much better alternative. Have a great time!

I Remember, too. Yeah, I remember doing that trip in 1973, too. Some of the best times of my life. I had a 1970 Toyota Carolla (red) and my canoe was a Lenape Chief 15 footer (Blue) that was several feet longer than the car! Funny as heck. On our way downstream we stopped on a sandbar on an...

A man after my own heart It is VERY refreshing to me that someone ACTUALLY takes his/her family out to a historic re-enactment as opposed to camping out in front of the TV or going to the mall. My wife and I did the very same thing in the 80's and 90's--Fredericksburg, Mt. Vernon, Monticello...

Nice Fish Woodjin--next time, be sure the photo shot is of the lateral side--they're absolutely beautiful fish, "chains" and all! I'd say that one's around 2 1/2-3 lbs--maybe more, thick back--great catch!

One of my favorite places Chatsworth Lake--what memories I have of fishing there in the 70's and 80's--caught some of the biggest pike ever--27", 4 lbs, on ultralight rods no less! I loved to fish with live minnows using 4lb test line and size 8 hooks--hooked the "minnies" through the lips...

Hummm... Perhaps a glass building that has refracted the light like a prism?

? Whatever...

Nice I can smell the pine needles and feel the bitter cold on my nose and cheeks---even though I'm in Florida, the photos helped me relive past experiences in the pines. Thanks for the memory retrieve! Nice photos.

Responding to Neil I got your private message. Thanks for the offers. My grandparents have long since passed away and the property is no longer owned by my family. My recollection is that the property was gone over with a fine-toothed comb, of course this was at least 40-45 years ago, so I am...

Go to Denver That thing about Gore--just me letting off steam, though I think the messenger and the message ARE one in the same. Some of y'all who think it's the end of the world ( thanks for that great data, Boyd, from the F.I.--I agree) should get out to Denver and witness the impact of...

R-U-Colder Now?? Al Gore is a total hypocrite--his "carbon footprint" is the size of Rhode Island--he flies in a private jet all over the world, gets whisked away in a huge SUV to all of his 4 homes that are 8000 sq. feet each, and then preaches to us little guys about conserving and moving...

Snow Hey Behr, the snow wasn't getting lower, you were just growing--LOL!!!

What SHOULD have been done The Nature Conservancy or The Sierra Club or other "non-profits" should have stepped up and bought the land, then the land could have been preserved.

What? No Iron City beer??? I remember we were out fishing in Indian Mills area in the hot summer of '75, there was a good 'ole boy bar a couple miles down the road, we had enough for a quart of Iron City to go with lunch---I think it's still in my red corpuscles today!!! LOL!!!:guinness:

Nice Nice slide show of you and your son--a treasured memory--I still have pics of my son hanging up in the homestead here in FL, when he was your son's age--now he's 19, we don't canoe as much as we used to, but we always plan a trip every year here in December. Special time, father & son...

From: "Nature Conservancy", Winter 2006, Vol. 56, No.4, pp.57-58: " Not far from Princeton, the Sourland Mountains span thousands of forested acres that harbor 65 species of neotropical migratory birds. They also contain the headwaters of 11 streams that provide drinking water to central New...

Buried Ship Whaaaat is that??
