All, With the time to search for stones coming to a close I decided to check a few locations I have been wanting to go to for a while. Our fist stop was a piece of property that at one time was owned by Francis French near the Merrygold Branch. I was hoping to find some initials on it but that...

All, I have been exploring in Penn State Forest the last two weekends and here are a few visits and or finds. This is a seep. The water here comes out of the ground and slowly runs to the left and enters a spong a few hundred few away. it is so slow you can't even see the water filling it but...

All, Dog lovers may be interested. Nothing special. We were heading down Chew Road this morning and a hunters dog ran right across the road in front of us. A few seconds later and it would have been toast. Another driver stopped after we did and we noticed it had a transmitter on it's neck...

All, Found this map showing the design of the bridge over Salters Ditch. If you have driven down that road you may have noticed this. Guy

Take notice in this map there was a school half way between Harrisville and Martha right along the road between both places. There also was a Bench Mark Oak near Harrisville. This was used for reference in surveying. And it appears the two names at Martha are French and Allen or Allin. Just...

All, On December 15, 1913 a map was drawn up of the main area of Hampton Park which at the time was owned by Andrew Rider. In the below map you can see the locations of the buildings which have been posted before by me in previous posts. However, this map tells us there was a second bridge with...

All, Many of you I am sure have noticed the building ruins in the woods near Deep Run which we have discussed before on this site. If you have not noticed the ruins you will find them here. http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.762126494653586&lng=-74.69355000000002&z=16&type=hybrid&gpx=...

I visited the bridges they are replacing along 206 near Parkdale to photograph the construction efforts. I noticed that it appears you can still see the concrete foundations from the previous bridge that had to have been before the 1930s I would assume. BTW, I would suggest you not go there...

Did some stone searching today and found a few of them. Nothing special. We again visited another spung after noticing on aerial photos that sometime between 1970 and 1995 someone made a road right through it to get from one road to another. Most likely a dozer but it is hard to tell. The road...

We traveled along the Parkway yesterday looking for a stone we never found but we did find a few old state monuments. It was interesting to see that when building the Parkway they ran multiple trenches onto this property and even put pipes under the sand road in many places to try and get the...
