I have not been on in a while and obviously missed some good "where is this" photos. That is along the bogs near Buckingham, south of the RR. that photo is looking south I believe. Jeff

The theory that the Jersey Devil is a region specific boogyman...created with the purpose of controlling careless wandering amoung children. This would have been far more important in an area like the pine barrens than more urban areas. The inclusion of a popular and common name in the area...

That is a real shame. I feel for the guy. I hope he is able to make the adjustment. It seems that stories of hunters falling out of deer stands come up often.

Interesting link Gabe. However, I don't think this theory is any more, or less plausible that some other theories. As for documented references to the Leeds Devil? I think the author could have done more research on this particular aspect of his claim. W.F Mayer published an article in 1858...

there has been a lot of prescribed burning. That thought didn't occur to me for some reason, you are probably correct.

I went hiking with my son in the Warren Grove Bogs on Saturday. This area is property of the NJ Natural Lands Trust. A unique area with old abandoned bogs and pine plains. Part of the wading river, or oswego depending on which time period map you consult. Jack investigating a...

frozen deer excrement. from a very big deer who was not feeling well.

I'll back up the black racer temperment. I used to catch them growing up in monmouth county and it was always a stand off. i used to hold up my left hand to distract them and then quick snatch with my right. I could never tail catch them because if I was 4' or closer they would always confront...

Thanks for the interesting write up Gilberto. I wonder how your great, great, great grandmother would have reacted, if she had known then that she would for ever live on in piney folklore as a witch!LOL. Most, if not all, folklore has origins in reality and it is particularly cool when real...

My condolences. sorry for your loss. It sounds like you have many fond memories, I hope they give you comfort. Jeff

Your Dad was very responsible and wise to make this impression on you at such a young age.

That was pretty funny, Guy! What was even funnier was the thought of Bob looking at the photo and thinking "I don't see no dang shovel"! Nice exploration. A lot easier in the winter than the summer I bet?! Sorry you didn't find the steam shovel but 1/2 of the fun is the prospect of it. Jeff

No problem, Jpot. I am sure your intentions are in the right place. Serveral of us know where he lives but, speaking for myself, I would feel funny about giving away his location without his consent. I don't know him personally, I see him sometimes but i have never approached him because I am...

damn it, Spencer!!!!!

It's a joke right? I really hope they did that as a joke. Kind of reminds me of a lot of the pop stuff in the 80's when MTV was getting big. Real processed bubblegum stuff. I grew up with MTV and then some older kids turned me on to some real rock (Zeppelin, Rush, Sabbath) and I never went...

hmmm, there has been discussion in the past about the origins of the name "bloody ridge" . you mentioned "bloody ridge to the west" and it got me thinking that maybe it was named bloody ridge because the sun setting behind it (when viewing from the east) could make it look like, well, a bloody...

Debbie, my name if Jeff and I am a friend of Guy and Bob. I have some obligations tomorrow but I am going to try to get out to aid in the search. I may arrive before the 9am meeting time so I will just go to the location (if that is the case) and start from there. I will have your number with...
