Just a FYI, I have completed writing a short article on Harrisville that covers the history from the Belangee era all the way to the fire of 1914. I've also uploaded some historic photos from the Howard Feyl collection to the gallery (Forgotten Towns > Harrisville > Feyl Collection). The...

Land-use questions divide Lacey Published in the Asbury Park Press 04/20/05 By KIRK MOORE STAFF WRITER LACEY — Viewed from the air, this central Ocean County township is cleanly bisected by the Garden State Parkway, with a bustling bayshore suburb to the east and thousands of acres of...

Tom G. mentioned this to me the last time we were out in the woods, but apparently someone in Japan has done research and written a paper on early American industry in the Pines, and specifically Martha's Furnace. http://wwwsoc.nii.ac.jp/jaas/periodicals/JJAS/PDF/2004/No.15-097.pdf Thanks...

On Saturday April 16 I will be leading a tour of the ruins at Harrisville. We'll be exploring the lesser known ruins at the site, so even if you've been at Harrisville, there might be something that you have not yet seen. This trip will be geared for those who may never have been ghost town...

An interesting link I came across tonight. http://www.kiddofspeed.com/ Very interesting ruins.

Hi, and thanks for visiting the NJPineBarrens.com (NJPB for short) forums. Since you're reading this message, you're probably considering signing up for an account here. That's great, we love new people! Before you go ahead and register, there are a few things that you should keep in mind: I...

There's a new section in the front page for historical documents. It's located under the new "Downloads" menu on the main menu. There are three interesting historical PDF's submitted by Tom Worrell (not sure if he posts on the forums). They're hard to read, but one is a deed that might be an...

More of Beck's prose (that is what I am offically calling it now) is up on the front page. Highlights include Dolph Arens real name. :)

In preparation for our upcoming Washington/Martha Get-Together I decided to scout out Harrisville, and try to find some of the "lesser known" ruins. (We all know the paper mill - but did you know that there was a grist mill, saw mill, and even a brick making kiln?)...

This is the official Washington/Martha Get-Together Thread. Answer the poll and discuss what you would like to do, your schedules, etc. Edit: My vote would be for the 12th or the 13th.

Well, it's not really a get-together for exploring, but I am trying to get some people together on the 22nd to have a few beers at the Cassville Tavern. History Buffs will get a kick out of being able to drink in an authentic old Piney bar that (more or less) resembles how it was back in the...

I know that Bodine's is near Harrisville, where the Tuckerton Road crosses the highway, but does anybody know if there is anything left there? A cellar hole perhaps? Any sign pointing out the location? I might take a ride down there tomorrow afternoon.

Well, since it appeared that my friend Jay and I would be ill-prepared for the PBX hike today (slogging it in waist deep muck without chest waders didn't sound like too much fun - especially with the inlaws coming over tonight) I decided to continue on with my Beck hunting. By now it should...

Happy New Year! Here's to 2005 being a fresh start for all of us. My new years resolution is to get out in the Pines more. I have a few ideas kicking around in my mind, but everyone else seems to be having more fun than I am thesedays!

In an effort to keep everyone here safe in the woods, I'm going to post the 2004-2005 hunting season schedule. Small Game PDF schedule, 2 pgs. Deer - season starts Oct 2 and ends Jan 31st. From now until the end of the season: Muzzleloader - Dec 27-29 No Hunting - Dec 30-31 Winter...

Anybody get any Pine Barrens related gifts? I got an interesting book - "Seasons of the Pines - A Photographic Tour of the New Jersey Pine Barrens" by Bob Birdsall. Isn't Bob a PBX member, or a member of Barry's or Renee's site? The name sounds REALLY familiar to me. Anyway, it's a...

Ok, here's a new idea to stimulate some posting. Post your favorite photos of the pines and maybe throw a little blurb as to why you like it so much. Here's the rules: 1. The photos must be your own. 2. They must be smaller than 800x600 3. You can host them in your own personal gallery...
