I tend to like roughing it when camping. My wife, not so much. So we stayed at one of the shelters at Absegami lake in Bass River this weekend (Friday evening to Sunday morn). Beautiful weather. I wish I took more pictures but most of day on Saturday was spend on the lake and I forgot my...

I was just watching the 10 o'clock news and they found a body in a shallow grave along route 72 in woodland twp. The story was brief but from the footage they showed New Lisbon Center and then the woods across the street where the trees where cleared near the fire tower. It is kind of freaky...

Found this guy on a piece of concrete. Guy, is this a marker of some sort? Jeff

So I'm up late the other night channel surfing and I come across this weird cartoon with a talking milshake a thing of fries that looks like the devil and, yep, Meatwad :meatwad: he was even dancing like that too. So I'm like, there's that damn thing from the forum. I had no idea he was a...

What a great day. Caught about 12 pickerel. Holding a rod, and bait bucket in waders and taking a picture is difficult. this is one of the most remote spots in all the barrens. You may think you have been there but you have probably not. If you have. Don't tell where it is. and before...

My wife if pregnant!! We started trying a little while back and it didn't take long. Apparently I have very good aim. :) She is due 10-15-06. We don't know if it will be a boy or girl yet but we will find out soon. I can't wait to take the little bugger out in the woods and start showing...

I went out on my motorcycle Saturday. I went through some brush and got two chigger bites. I can totally deal with two chigger bites after having had these things as many times as I have. The bites are a bit close to, hmmm, "me wedding tackle" and that is always a bit alarming but no big deal...

It was so beautiful out Saturday! I did some kayaking on the Sleeper Branch west of 206. What a nice break from winter. The river was pretty clear up to the rail road crossing. After that it forked and just got too clogged with debrie. On my return trip I saw two men one older one younger and...

I scared up a turkey then took a picture of the fresh prints. That is my foot print to the left of the turkey's prints. That boot is a size 11 1/2 or 12. So as you can see those turkeys have mightly large feet. This wasn't even the biggest turkey I've seen either. Jeff

I recently bought the Scotts Atlas of 1876 at the Pemberton Railroad Museum. As a volunteer and I were looking at browns mills in the atlas, he commented "this was when the lake was still there at Mary Ann Forge". I was thinking "what Lake" when I looked at the map. there on the map was an...

I mentioned in a different thread that I went to the Pemberton Railroad Museum. The two volunteers that were in there were great. Really good guys, very knowlegable and clearly excited about not only railroad history but the history of the area in general. I should also mention that they have...

Living near Mt Misery, I've gotten around a bit in that area. There are some ruins I have been aware of for years along the pole bridge branch near the old railroad between New Lisbon and Upton Station but never really knew what they had been. Having recently discovered the "substantial ruins"...

Like the ruins I located recently in Lebanon, I must have been past these ruins nearly a hundred times but never saw them. I was looking for something unrelated near Mary Ann Forge and noticed some ruins I hadn't seen before. At first I thought I was looking at something else but upon further...

Paintball in the pines. Harmless fun or littering/vandalism? Is it a question of responsible hobbists vs. the irresponsible? Don't play it myself, just wondering what everyone's opinion is. My vote goes for ugly, but if there are people cleaning up after themselves and if the paint is...

I recently got my PPA (Pinelands Preservation Alliance) news letter and on the back they included a Frequently Asked Questions section pertaining to some of their sponsered activities. I thought some of the Questions, and especially the answers, were worth repeating here. Q: Is the Jersey...

[/IMG] Black racer, taken about a month ago in Wharton SF Jeff

Yesterday morning I got up early and kayaked Mt. Misery brook. I have been meaning to do this for years as i live right next to it, and spend alot of time in with the woods around it. I started out while steam was rising off the water as the sun broke out on a cold crisp morning. I grabbed...

Had a great weekend. I finally found this spot I have been trying to get to deep in Wharton. When I got there I wasn't dissappointed. Amazing! I don't want to post the exact location but lets just say it was a good deal beyond where the devil bids the owl goodnight, as Asa Pittmans friend would...

Not long ago I posted about chubsuckers and a fish inventory I took in the clarks branch west of 206. This morning I went out fishing in the sleeper branch (had lots of luck) then visited the clarks branch near Parkdale where I took the inventory. I decided to go upstream (a now non-existent...
