http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/112-04012007-1323569.html Burlington County taxpayers could find themselves picking up a much larger portion of the tab for the county's aggressive land-preservation transactions if a state fund that is running near empty isn't renewed.

I was on 532 today somewhere between Apple Pie Hill and the Bordentown gun club, and saw this hooked to a tree. Does anyone have any idea what it means? Guy

All, For the second time member “Tom” (Tom Worrell) and I headed out to visit his ancestors property stones that I have searched for and found over the last few years. If you did not know he is a descendant of Benjamin Jones who owned the Hanover Furnace. On our previous outing I still was...

All, I received a PM questioning the location that Google Maps and Google Earth displays as Aserdaten, and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this? I thought it was quite funny that for some reason Google thinks the former housing development of Carusoville is Aserdaten. How this info...

All, We started the day looking for any remains of the “Flemens” residence listed on the 1858 Burlington County map I found on the Library of Congress website. It was located just off of Carranza road where Hampton Gate was reported to be. In just a few minutes of searching Jessica found what...

Have you noticed the changes to Google Earth? Anyone can now map a location on Google Earth and post pictures of that location and comment on it. This can be used in devious ways, especially when anyone who uses Google Earth can see this. For example, here are two locations where the people...

All, I was again roaming through the Library of Congress website and found a 1/28/1938 photo of the Cedar Bridge Tavern. The photographer was named Nathanial R. Ewan who took an extraordinary amount of photo’s of buildings around the state. Along with many of the photo’s is something quite...

How was your day? At 7:30 this morning I decided to drive over to the speedline to clean off the snow on my wife’s car before she arrived there. I took a shovel in the event I needed it. Backing out the driveway I got stuck at the end because I did not get up enough speed to traverse the...

Jerseyman, Since I am reading the Blue Comet at work during break, I figured I would throw out some questions and make comments as I progress. On page 34 it mentions J. D. Beers who was a NY Broker in the 1850’s, at least at this point in time in the book. He purchased land in the pines...

All, No matter what you think about gun clubs and what they represent, they are a part of the history of the pines. Unfortunately, many of them may be on their way out, and the reason may not be what you think. I received an email from a man I know who is a member of a gun club in the pines...

All, While in the pines this morning we came upon these tracks. I believe they are turkey tracks, but I have never viewed them this big. Am I correct, and is this one larger than normal? Guy

All, This morning before 7AM I was at Dave Amato’s house with Rob who I work with, on a mission that has been a few years in the making. But first let me start from the beginning for the new members who missed what I am about to explain. If you have Beck’s "More Forgotten Towns of South...

All, Until I can get it added to the Historic Map Gallery, here is a 1858 map of Burlington County by William Parry, George Sikes, and F. W. Earl. I found it at the Library of Congress. I have cut some of the top and bottom of the county off to make the file smaller for you now. It is a massive...

All, Today I started on new project to find the stones at a cranberry bog that the state acquired in it’s entirety on 10/20/2000. Well, that may not be true since it appears that the previous owner, or at least an owner of a piece of property there has lifetime rights to remain. At least that...

A letter to the editor of the Courier Post http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070218/OPINION/702180340/1047 Guy

Imagine you purchase a nice farm in Portugal with quite a bit of land that has been vacant for 15 years, and while roaming your new property you find a large locked barn hidden in the trees. You remove the lock and inside you find this...

All, I took photo’s of an 1849 replica map that you may find interesting. This portion of the map shows Atsion at the very bottom. The school is shown and the Richard's residence is shown. Also, at Quaker Bridge there are three dwellings shown on the east side of the bridge. The hotel and...
