Since it is not directly Pine Barren related, I posted here. With it being Cranberry Harvest time, it is interesting to see that Ocean Spray in Bordentown City is one of the 8 places in Burlington County that if a disaster struck thousands of people would be at risk of injury...

All, Early this morning we headed out to look for a few stones, and possible stones, and explore the particular area at the same time. The first stone was there in 1919 on the Jones Mills Tract survey, and is in the Parker Preserve. The info I have is sketchy, and we unfortunately did not...
