    Discover Hidden New Jersey

    This book is excellent. Very well written. There is a newer one out, but I'm not sure what has changed or has been added. Author: Russell Roberts...

    Off Road Park Chatsworth

    I don't know if we have this on NJPineBarrens, so I'll plop it right here. Do NOT call the number. It's closed forever.

    Slow since yesterday

    Very slow. I restored and cleared my cache. Have you seen any lag?

    Lidar Reveals

    This is odd. Lidar on left, 1980 on right. Inexplicable. Easy to get to just north of 72. Maybe they just left piles of sand or scraped around small areas to leave some trees?

    A cool story about a cool car

    Cars are one of my great interests in this World. I thought you'd get a kick out of this if you like them as well. https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/cars/this-1966-wildcat-is-so-pristine-it-still-has-original-air-in-its-tires-19198af3?st=6ow2lx188qp2h69&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    Ron (Rooftree) had noticed an old symbol for a mine on the subject topo map, and it’s also on the 1885 Cook Topo Map. The mined area is in Bass River Township, about 2 miles northwest of Lake Absegami. Ron visited the site with a friend, and I visited the site yesterday with him, as I was...

    One More (for the road)

    I've always questioned the naming of this bar. I recall it was named something different before this (I thought it had "for the road" on the end). I've never been inside. Any of you?

    Xfinity Cable Service Increase

    In December of 2023, their service was increased by 7%. In December of 2024, my bill was again increased, this time by 9.7% I have a couple questions. I'd like some feedback if I'm wrong. There is something rotten in the way they are doing this. They must have submitted a big increase of 17%...

    Chicken Soup

    I had not made turkey or chicken soup in 3 years. I missed it. 11 quarts to freeze today. So convenient with rolls and butter. I got busy when I saw shoprite had fresh soup at a whopping $5.99 for an 8 ounce serving. Even using 16 ounce servings as a guide, my 16 oz servings are $1.80 each (okay...

    Cross Hairs

    Boyd, I remember when your map program first came out you had a on-off button for the crosshairs. I admit, I said at the time I would not use it, that I don't mind seeing the cross hairs. That has changed since I use your program so much now. I snip maps a lot that have waypoints on them, and...

    Came upon this in chasing down some information in a Facebook post. Thought some of you might find it interesting. It's very well done as far as giving the public information on a topic. https://www.uky.edu/KGS/coal/coal-mining-geology-Kettlebottoms.php

    Western Living Magazines

    If I'm not outside or on the computer, I read quite a lot. I have 86 "Sunset, Western Living" magazines from the 1960's. I don't want to try and sell them widely due to the hassle of shipping and dealing with people online. If you have a collection of magazines that I would enjoy, I'd swap these...

    Another Puzzle

    I noticed these marks last Spring. It's a real puzzle to figure out how this happened. This is near Westecunk Creek just outside of Stafford Forge. There are other similar ones in this pine plains area. I can't find any old roads that go to it.
