Ben, I was looking at your photo's of Quaker Bridge that were taken last month and could not believe how low the water is. So I searched through my photo's and found a photo that I took in 1975 when the bridge was wooden. It shows the river with a level that is considerably higher than today...

All, Sixty seven years ago in 1935, many of the Geodetic markers that still survive and are located in the pine barrens were monumented. It must have been an interesting undertaking with plenty of hard work to accomplish what was done. Some of the locations where this occurred were, Batsto...

All, Since we are on the subject of license plates, I have a photo of the 1976 bicentennial plate that was on my vehicle. If you are unfamiliar with them, the state released them and allowed you to put them on the front of your car in place of the normal plate for a limited amount of time. You...

All, For those of you who missed the Carranza celebration today, here is a quick review with photo's. I was there an hour and a half early and was able to watch them set up. The Mt Holly VFW Post 11 were pretty efficient and I commend them. Soon after I arrived they put a photo of him at the...

All, I went to Old Half Way (Hidden Lake) today for the first time in years. It has changed in the facts that the hills are no longer as high from the erosion that has taken place. Still full of trash in some places, but it appears that someone has pushed it into piles. Here are two semi...
