Never was no cows crossing there...:)

Yep, it's still there. http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.67832085299601&lng=-74.54119428992271&z=21&type=h&gpx= These are the remains of a dam, btw.

Pretty freakin' neat.

You seem like such a pleasant fellow.

Bzzzzz! Guess again.

Very neat!

Yep, it's on Wharton land. If I recall, it was not far from Evan's Bridge.

Honestly, I'd have to take a closer look to be sure, but my impression was that it was probably cut in the past 10 years or so.

Yes, recently.

While paddling the West Branch of the Wading a few days ago, I noticed a stump of a large cedar tree that was obviously cut down. It would have been by far the biggest cedar along the river. I suspect it was poached. Pisses me off.

Done.

Jerseyman, In another thread, you wrote: Do you recall where you got this information?

Sounds good to me!

Yes, there are pilings a plenty still to be seen, even with high water levels. Please let me know when you're able to explore some of these sites.

Just another interesting tidbit. The aforementioned 1836 map names a "Burnt Bridge" right here: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.66318759394732&lng=-74.5292866230011&z=17&type=nj1930&gpx= I didn't know about this when I took my trip today. Looks like another paddle is in order!

That's a hell of a tree!

BTW, John Pearce agrees with Jerseyman that the skit mill was constructed and operated under Ive Ballangee Jr. (Heart of the Pines, p. 320), though he sites no source.

It seems that Pierce thought the skit mill was located here: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.66174222527654&lng=-74.52949047088623&z=17&type=nj1930&gpx= Maybe he based his conclusion on the fact that the site was listed on the 1836 map of Harrisville as belonging to Thomas Ballinger in...

I was able to get back to the site of the skit mill today. There were clearly at least two mill races, and there might have possibly been a third. The mills existed at these two locations: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.67587250408877&lng=-74.5423436164856&z=17&type=nj1930&gpx=...

I really enjoyed "Night Falls on Atsion Lake". Made me long for a summer night.
