    Trip Report: May 1736—John Bartram in the Cedar Swamps

    I've poked around there before, Jim. I used to have a driving job and often passed through the Berlin area. When I had time to spare, I'd stop to check out points of interest. I like to think of that area as the Jersey Eden, since a number of Pine Barrens rivers have their source there: The...

    Petty at Half-time

    Thanks, Tom. We Iggles fans get a bad rap, huh? I also feel that McNabb and the Birds will reclaim the NFC East next year. But let's give those NJ (er, I mean, NY) Giants their due respect. Missed ya yesterday, bro.

    pet rat up for adoption

    My python prefers to eat two rats in one sitting, so no worries about me buying another rat to keep him company while Monty works up an appetite. :)

    finding natural clay in the barrens?

    Chris, Just what will you be doing with this clay, young lady? :siren: A generally good place to find clay deposits would be along a river bank just upstream from where there was once an old dam. When dams were in place, clay particles, which are the lightest, would settle to the bottom...

    Chatsworth Atv park

    Good question. Not to go off-topic, but I have my unfortunate suspicions that, in this case, the laws are purposely vague in order to rake in more $ from fines.

    Jerseyman is, quite simply, the man! I know I'm not alone in being appreciative of the time and energy he puts into his research. That he is willing to share his wealth of information speaks volumes. Thanks, Jerseyman.

    Making Bloom Iron

    Good article, Mark. Small, illegal bloomaries flourished in the Pines for years. They were everywhere. Often, these bloomaries were very primitive. A tree stump would often be utilized and the iwalls inside of the stump would be lined with clay. I'd like to make one. :)

    Slag vs. Pig Iron???

    The hills Guy speaks of are very old. They are actually sand and gravel deposits from the ancient Hudson River. The age of sandstone boulders that cap the hills are in the millions of years old. South Jersey is oh so cool.
