All, Today a few members of the PBX hiking club headed out to again explore Wescoat Bog and a few other interesting locations in that area. For those of you who do not know, the Wescoat Bog is the fan shaped bog on the edge of the Great Swamp between Atsion and Batsto. In attendance was TeeGate...

All, It was a little chilly at Parkdale today, but not cold enough to keep us from looking around. The briers were tough on us, and my pants, but we were semi productive. Jessica's pants were ripped on the bottom,a stick got caught in them, and she took a face first dive to the ground...

All, I want to inform all of you that Wolfspider has succeeded in finding the WP 1700 stone. He has been quietly and persistently looking for it with no help from me since I had no idea where it was. All I was able to give him was words of encouragement. Using the limited information he had...

Do you ever wonder where the various names of towns and places in the pines come from? I do. Many of them are obvious since they are named after the people who founded or lived in the area, such as Harrisville, Woodmansie, etc. But there are names of towns that have always been elusive in...

All, It is winter and much easier getting through sandy area’s since the ground is semi frozen. So today we made it to the township line near Wescoat Bogs in my car. So if you have a car and are very careful you can enter from Batsto, travel across Constable Bridge, and make it all the way...

I thought I would pass along a small piece of history that you would not know about. Hopefully, you will find it interesting. Keep in mind that I work during the day so I have not been able to check the tax records to confirm present property ownership. So for this post I am assuming they still...

All, We traveled to Cabelas today in Hamburg PA to check for boots for Jessica. Unfortunately, because of her small feet we could not get knee high boots for her. I am going to have to cut off her waders to have knee highs. In any event we enjoyed ourselves, and along with the in-laws we...

All, I took off work today, and along with Rob who I work with we spend the day hiking and exploring the Great Swamp. By 8AM we were in the woods SE of Dutchtown bushwhacking our way into the swamp. Our first find was this large deer stand similar to one we found on a previous PBX hike. Rob...

Enjoy! guy

Found this today near Friendship in the woods. My wife noticed that it appears to have been dumped from a pan since the edges are rounded and it is somewhat square. It was starting to stink :( Guy

All, I posted this photo in a different thread. The Atsion tract apparently reached across Carranza road close by the sawmill that a few of us discovered on a PBX hike at the end of 2005. Soon after a geocache was placed there...

All, I acquired more photo’s of maps today, and will mention a few that may be of interest. It was odd finding a map of Pickett’s Charge in Gettysburg but I did. I also found various old maps of the pines area with purchases and sales of Joseph Wharton. I found a map that shows that on...

“One day, probably within the next 10 years, there will be no more hunting in New Jersey,” says Battistine, an Estell Manor resident. “Then the state will be overrun with deer.” http://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/newjersey/nj_politics/story/7069659p-6922135c.html

All, A member of our PBX hiking club ( Bob B.) is a helicopter pilot and took a ride over the pines on 12/28. His friend took two photo’s of Batsto using Bob’s camera that you may want to check out. If you just want to view the two photo’s use the first two links, but if you want to see more...

All, This morning Jessica and I, along with MikeBickerson, Jerseyman, and his friend Pete, visited a few locations of the Salem Road and other places in that area. Jerseyman and his friend gave Mike, Jessica, and I a tour. Our first agenda was jumping the bridge at the Brace road sign that...
