I'm going to retrace Thompsons steps. However, thank you for the asbestos warning. I trek with my son to all these places and do not want him near it. There is an old pier/decking I see at low tide on that strip of land as well. There is also one extending out on a strip of land located at the...

Hahahaha! I freaking adore you!! Correcting me on my spelling! I had to upload the picture and last text via my phone and could hardly see what I was writing. I know how to spell, hahahaha. I just love your "no fuss" quick to the point debonair-esque quality. (I know you are going to say that...

I am super-thrilled today! I scoured old St. Mary's graveyard today. I found my secret lover! I looked everywhere. A man who owns a mechanic shop in Gloucester pulled into the cemetary. His family takes care of it. They have a book at the shop with all the families. that were buried there...

You should have "AXED" him Manumuskin.. and sent him "Swimming with the fishes" another Jersey expression. Hahahahaha! LOVE THIS! Bostonians are funny in how they say "CAR" as "CAH." I also find it hilarious when folks say we have no distinctive accent. That is very far from the truth. When...

When a man uses such words as penultimate and ruminate. Use caution. Just kidding! The Duke even owned the fishery that this yummy shad was caught by and Whitman consumed. It is a sin that he died shortly after those precedings in 1911. I plan on going to the St. Mary's cemetary to find his...

Yes! Very scared of you!! Scared to write any story for the fear of your correction. Haha. Even though I try to make sure everything is completely accurate before I ever write anything. I am trying an attempt to be a better writer. I've been reading your blog for the last year or so. I had no...

Jerseyman! Love it. The word I hate most is "Ax." For example..let me ax you something!! I do not see "wooder" or water as the proper term and would say that is the most common mistake of us all!! Haha! Great great read as always...humbled.... Mr. Jerseyman.

However,after speaking with the administrator he said it was okay. Adventure on, my friends!

I love me some "holes" lol. I explore a lot and study maps. Here is one in Winslow on my recent visit. However, would never swim in these due to high levels of pollution. Some have been waste dump sites after they were used for mining. However, still great to check out nature. The frogs...

My guess the "coins" symbolize the Mexican children's efforts in having the memorial made. The children brought their "coins", "pesos" to school to have the monument erected after his death.

Okay just got chills seeing the Columbia, and John Warner and pictures of Washington Park! I am a huge history nerd and love it! Most recently, I met with the Lemon Hill mansion (Philly) folks and did a story on them. However, your articles are VERY intriguing and informative Thank you for...

I know Frank didn't preserve Washington Park. However, he mentions it in his notes of Gloucester County. It was the most informative article I could actually find on the park itself. What I am trying to say is Frank was big on preserving our historical integrity and past. I know he played no...

My mom was so "chiggered up" that she had to go to the doctors and get on steroid medication. Lol. I was fine. Took off every bit of clothing left it outside. Showered. Then washed EVERYTHING I was wearing. Also, was able to rid most of them off by using alcohol wipes before I got into my...

Do you know how I became a member of this site? Haha. You guys had a link of my "stuck in the Pineys." My vehicle got stuck in the sand on the search of blue hole and you listed a pick of it on your forum. Thank goodness you guys were gracious to not make fun of me. I was trying to park in a...

Agreed Ben! I'm trying to do a bit more research on the legendary Washington Park. I know Frank Stewart was a huge part in preserving the historical integrity. I go hiking at the Westville Wildlife Refuge near my home a lot. I've found brick ruins and trying to figure out what they are. My...

Michael I heard these stories through my mother who grew up near Tabernacle and also via my husband a boy scout He use to camp near the site

There are odd occurrences that occur near the Carranza site. Supposedly bones of animals are found behind the woods of the site and have been reportings of ghost sightings. I grew up near the area. Also, there is an urban legend about the crash site and the Jersey devil. Good luck with the...

Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Btw, I love how you said "Crick" I mentioned that on another forum here. I am now on my desktop and uploading some pics to the this site. I truly appreciate it. I have a heavy duty jogging stroller and has been great for trails even in Manumuskin with some trees and...

Don't forget the use of the word, "Crick" here in South Jersey. There is no grammatical word as Crick. Haha. I love it!

Frank H.Stewart is my South Jersey hero. Without his preservation efforts we would not have National Park and most other recreational areas in Gloucester County. There is a great collection/library of all of his books, deeds, genealogical records at Rowan University. Most of the cannonballs...
