    Paper topo maps

    I got some at Batsto. $5 each. They don't have the entire state - about as far north they go is Whiting.

    Pennypot

    Anyone ever see any ruins here? Supposedly it's a small (20 acre) park now. It's mentioned quite a bit in the Weymouth Furnace Diary.

    Nash's Cabin and Ogden Nash

    I have done a bit of looking around and am pretty convinced that Ogden Nash is not the Nash that the cabin is named after. Here's a biography: http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/research/fa/nash.bio.html and http://www.mdkidspage.org/nash.html He was born in 1902 and died in 1971. The cabin can...

    GMRS / FRS Radios and their range

    Behr & Kendawg, When we were on the FR mountain, I assume that when we were hearing people talk about golf over the radios that we were hearing them from the Pine Barrens Golf Course. Well, the course is in Jackson, which would put it at least 7 miles away. Not bad range. My radio...

    Kayaking adventure outside of the Pine Barrens

    Well, just barely outside the Pine Barrens. My friend Cass and I just bought two used kayaks - Pelican Endeavors - for a pretty good price. Since I live right near the water (my house is at the red X), we decided to try them out tonight. I never realized it, but the area is surrounded by...

    New Sandy Hook Photos

    I went to Sandy Hook last night to kill some time while waiting to meet a friend. I went all over the Hook in search of some good photos. You can see them here. Items of interest: A Patriot missile, a Air France Concorde, a British noble's grave, and some nice nature shots. I can't...

    Popcorn Park Zoo murder

    Those kids that murdered the animals at Popcorn Park Zoo and the the goose at Wells Mills Park deserve to be put to death themselves. I can't fathom attacking a helpless animal, but so many people seem to take great delight in doing it. Laura and I went to Popcorn Park Zoo last Saturday...
