Friendship was the first "ghost town" that I found. It's also one of my favorites. Article URL: http://www.courierpostonline.com/news/southjersey/m111703c.htm

Anybody going out on Sunday?

I just posted the newest article on the site - Guy's (Teegate) exploration of the first 40 miles of the Lawrence East-West Jersey Line. Check it out - it's really interesting to read!

Here's some pics from Aruba: http://www.njpinebarrens.com/~bruset/gallery/aruba

Oh yeah! Let me tell you, Aruba is everything and more that I thought it would be. We got here last night, and rented a Jeep. (They gave us a Yellow Wrangler!) The island is beautiful. We flew over the island, coming in low over the state park that takes up 40% of the land here. Most of the...

(Insert clever JeffD joke here.) http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Midwest/10/23/offbeat.closed.road.ap/index.html WOLF LAKE, Illinois (AP) -- Why did the snake cross the road? On one U.S. Forest Service Lane, it had the whole thing to itself. Federal officials say Road No. 345 is the only...

Bob and I went to Howardsville today. I got some good photos. The lake at the northern end is really, really nice. Bob noticed that it was free of the usual amount of reeds and lilly pads, and didn't have a lot of fish in it. He thinks that the pH level might be off, which sounds like a...

I bet Jeff would have some witty comment about this. http://www.app.com/app2001/story/0,21133,828021,00.html -- Cranberry farm adds 460 acres to park Published in the Asbury Park Press 10/10/03 By KIRK MOORE STAFF WRITER BERKELEY -- The state Green Acres program is spending...

Anyone know where I might be able to find a topo map of Aruba? Laura and I will be renting a Jeep and exploring the island off the beaten path. We'll probably do some geocaching and would like to have a topo map to help guide us around.

FYI, all of the poles on "The Pole Road" as Guy likes to call it are now marked with "No Trespassing" signs. Also, the way to Lacey Rd from the right of way is blocked by a VERY strong gate. My friend and I decided to do some really late night exploring in the FRM's, so we were cruising...

Al, I saw your post on the PBE site responding to Suits. I'm responding here since I won't post over there. There is no graveyard at ROG. Beck mentions a graveyard in the area in one of his books, but I am certain that he means the one at Union Clay.

Last week's adventure in the Pines brought more chiggers. :( My poor feet and ankles! I have found that sleeping with my shoes on stops the itching for some crazy reason. Chiggers are the miniscule spawn of Satan, I am convinced.

I was reread the Atsion chapter in "Forgotten Towns" tonight. One of the interesting things that struck me (besides Beck's ghost encounter) was the inscriptions of the "Catholic Cemetary" at Atsion, near where the tracks of the D&R spur from Atco came in to Atsion. Anyone know if any...

This was taken at the Reevestown Cemetary yesterday. I should have used a smaller aperature. I lost a lot of depth of field. :(

I wrote a new article for the site on the Forked River Mountains. You can read it here

As Guy had mentioned in the other Cedar Bridge thread, he and I did some exploring in the Forked River Mountains area today. We also wanted to stop and visit the Reevestown Cemetary that Beck mentions in "More Forgotten Towns" in the "Refugees at Cedar Bridge" chapter. You can see pictures of...

You might have heard me cursing out one of my radios on the last outing. One of my radios had a problem where it would think it was receiving things, and just play static until it actually picked up something. I took them both back to Best Buy in Brick and got them exchanged with no hassle at...

Yesterday, Laura and I visited Buzby's in Chatsworth (she had a great time entertaining Pumpkin) and then Batsto Village. Here's three pages of images from Batsto...
