Ed and Guy, The markers that you guys are talking about are not the ones that I saw for the dirt bike race. (thanks for the pictures!) The ones I saw were on the other side of Carranza road and only had arrows and W's on them, no numbers, and marked out a course through trails. I totally...

I recently walked the JCRR from near Buzby's in Chatsworth to Atsion, and I didn't see any signs in place. I did see a piece of a sign on the ground somewhere between Chatsworth and Carranza, but there was no post. I'm not sure exactly what it was because it looked like a VERY heavy piece of...

sschliv, I'm not sure if parts are private property. I was a little wary myself when walking by those cranberry packing buildings in Chatsworth, or whatever they are. I just stayed ON the tracks in those parts. I know that it's trespassing to walk down active railroad tracks because the land...

I must have missed them then, or they're gone. I still don't know what they might be. When discussing it with my friends, they suggested that they might be some kind of school project, like a group would take a square and try to list everything living in there, but I have nothing to really go...

Has anyone noticed that the little Wharton pocket maps that you can get at places like the Batsto visitor's center are wildly inaccurate? I tried to use one this weekend to chart my progress while following the old train tracks from Chatsworth to Atsion, and I was coming to landmarks out of...

Ed--I saw your white markers (I think.) I encountered them on the other side of Carranza Road (i.e., if driving down Carranza Road from Tabernacle, I would have made a right at the tracks.) If they were the same ones (white squares on wooden sticks, some with arrows, some with letters), our...

Did we all walk to the Batsto River Bridge this weekend? I was there too, but I hiked from Buzby's, so I was probably there much later in the day. Any of you guys drive a forrest green jeep? The only human I saw all day between Chatsworth and Atsion Lake was someone in a jeep. Somewhere...

I haven't come across any PVC pipes in the woods...I can't imagine what they'd be. They're driven into the ground? How far do they stick up? Did you read my post called "Strange Marker" from mid February? I don't know what that is either. I'll probably do the walk from Carranza to...

Ed--I'm curious about these markers. I keep coming across strange markers myself (though not in a grid like yours; see my "strange marker" post) and no one seems to be able to make sense of them. If I were to try to find them, you're saying if you go down Carranza road from Tabernacle, you'd...

As an aside, the Settler's Inn was not the biggest wooden structure in the world. Todaiji Temple in Nara Japan, home of the daibutsu (the "big buddha") is the world's largest wooden structure at 187 x 166 x 156 feet. As for other log cabins, I think Anapa's Diner (formerly Ong's Hat?) on Ong's...

Most unnatural animal remains I come across in the pines look like they're a direct result of poaching, not sacrifice. Although I have heard that devil worshippers dig Carranza...it's the only decent obelisk around.

I saw a really strange marker on the Batona last weekend. It was a couple miles from Batsto going toward Bass River. It was concrete with a metal plaque on top, kind of like a property marker or a US Geological Survey marker (but I'm familiar with those and this wasn't one). It had the number...

Thanks for the offer Bob. For the moment, I'd still like to try to find some stuff on my own, but I might take you up on your offer sometime. As an aside, you gave me directions a while ago to get to Aserdaten. I tried to find it this weekend, and I may have found something. I followed...

Does anyone know of good places to go for day hikes? I'm pretty familiar with the Pines hot-spots, but I'm trying to find somewhere that you can't drive to and where I won't run into too many people or the stuff they've left behind. I don't know if there is such a place, but I keep imagining...

I haven't been down there lately, but now that you mention it, what is the attraction of shooting a large, static object? Every time I go down there it's all shot up and I can't understand it. Aren't they supposed to be shooting each other with those things? The last time I was down there, it...
