Whitesbog 2/7/10

Bob was playing Fairport Convention as he pulled up for saturdays hike. I said it sounded like Judy Collins. My Dad was 3/4 Irish and 1/4 German.

A great trip on a great day. I was worn out by the end of the trip. The crouching (and sometimes crawling) under the bushes killed my legs. But after busting through the bushes you would be rewarded with an nice walk through a cedar swamp or some beautiful islands. I also enjoy Guy's recording...

Yes, I have been told that it is one of three from Central Railroad of New Jersey caboose's left in this area. Beside this one our gaggle of cabeese include an N6B (Just the frame), an N5c (radio car) and the old boxcar turned cabin car which I believe is designated an NX.

Jerseyman and GermanG, Thanks for the advice.The opinions of people outside of the core group can be very insightful and therefore valuable, I will pass it on to the others. We usually do work on saturdays from 9:00 to noonish. If you see us out there just stop in. We enjoy a good B.S. break and...

Jerseyman, The unoffical plan is for PRR lettering. Last night Karl(the mechanic for the station) and I hooked it up to the N5c. A couple more cars and an Engine and we should have a nice static display.

The boxcar finally arrived last Monday. It's a 1959 Rock Island PS 1 and is in excellent condition.

There is still a lot of greenery around.

In the center of this picture is a beaver struggling against the swift current of the North Branch of the Rancocas.

These had an unusual shape.

Any idea what this is?
