That's no horseshit, Clerk. There's no better world than that wherein beer meets archaeology. But yes, two good beers there.

Mark, thanks for the info. Do you know what type of mill was established there by Dr. Smith? Also, is it true that he claimed to be born in 1776? I've heard that before, but I've had no luck tracing the claim to a source.

Looks like a natural ironstone deposit. You sure you're looking at slag there, Kevin?

Actually, I think that was Jeff. That was our canoe/kayak trip down the Atsion Creek a few years back. Steve was with us that day.

Was a relaxing paddle. I hope Jeff enjoyed his first trip down a pine barrens river. You guys can come down anytime.

Those are some angry looking snakes.

Indeed, it is. That Hudson River Canyon is really something. Unfortunately, whatever channels were cut into the now submerged continental shelf by ancient Pinelands rivers have disappeared beneath the sand.

Recently, the Forest Fire Service really did a number on the Batsto nature area where the footbridge (in disrepair) crosses the Sleeper Branch. They burnt a very small area and left a really big mess. A couple observations: - They senselessly dug a trench right through the Mullica River...

Awesome posts, Spung-Man! Do we have any idea how deep and wide our rivers were at the point where they met the ocean prior to sea level rise?

You look the same, Guy!

Nice coat!
