Dave; let's try this one. This appears to be a very small bog right at the bank on the east side of the Wading River. It is a little further south then what we've been discussing. It's not too far south of the bridge that takes you across the river. The bog was not there in 1957, however it...

Dave. This is the configuration of the Ives Branch Bogs, same as in 1960. https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.63189686482465&lng=-74.4817783276367&z=15&type=hybrid&gpx=

Dave. As I stated in Post #38, Joe Palmer inherited three cranberry bogs in 1940, one in Pomona, another at Wading River, and third at Ives Branch. The only one on the east side of Wading R is the Ives Branch which is now Timberline Lake Campground. Guy stated in Post #37 that the campground...

Guy; I didn't see your post before I started mine.

Here's my take on this. Back in 1940, Joseph H Palmer's wife inherited 150 acres of cranberry bogs from her uncle, George E. Gossler; 50 acres in Pomona, 70 at Wading River, and 30 at Ives Branch. The article further stated that they couldn't afford to take care of the land so the bogs were...

Al: Yes it is.

Bob; do you mean this stuff, or the stuff I go down in over my knee-high boots and get sucked and stucked in. The nice thing; Bog Asphodels, Grass Pinks, and Rose Pogonias love it.

I still have a small collection of 45's in the attic. I just checked. I only have Chantilly Lace by the Big Bopper. And on the other side, Purple People Eater Meets Witch Doctor. If you care to know, I also have The Merry Old Philosopher by Eddie Lawrence

Tunk means strike lightly or sharply. What I read on he Net, prior to bog ore going to the furnace, it is processed though a "Stamping Mill" run by waterpower with the use of large hammers to crush the ore. Slag was also crushed. A Tunking Mill and a Stamping Mill is one in a same.

Today is 02/02/2020 -- the first global palindrome day in 909 years. At just after 2am it was 02:02:20 on 02/02/2020. The next will come in 101 years on 12/12/2121 and after that not until 03/03/3030. At least there was one in our lifetime.

Bicycle tim: I've been exploring the Pines for 11 years. I normally fish old cranberry bogs. At times, I take a 5' rod that breaks down in two pieces (easy to carry) as I go exploring. I fish a couple spots, hide the rod, and then continue doing my exploring. Return, pick up the rod, and...

I have caught some nice pickerel on both sides of the small bridge on Oswego Lake Rd at the reservoir over the years. I like to fish where there is some structure, however you have a good chance to get snagged. But that's the price you have to pay.

Beachbug; that was a interesting read on the article about Cooper's Ferry. It is basically the history of the area I lived all my life. My take on the old road is Haddon Ave. It comes out Camden, goes through downtown Collingswood, into the Westmont section of Haddon Township (where I live)...

Thanks to all for the guesses to date. I didn't inspect the tools that close. But looking at the photo, it looks like the ring might be adjustable. If that is the case, it is my guess, the tool is to hold a crucible.

Yesterday, while out roaming the burn area west of Stevenson Rd, I came upon the ruins of an old campsite. Among the debris, there was an old kerosene lantern, and these tools shown in the photo below. Does anyone have an idea the real purpose for these tools? Ron

I'm going with Bodine Field. As a Boy Scout back in the 50's, I tent camped there a good number of times on Troop outings and at Jamborees. It was a popular spot for Scouts from all over the area at the time. With building those log cabins by the Scouts and for the purpose the buildings were...

Here's the bid for the clearcut and a map of the area to be cut. I couldn't find who got the bid, though. https://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/forest/docs/Bass_River_State_Forest.pdf
