    Illegal Dumping Pilot Program

    Wasn't the huge amount of TVs that were being dumped in the woods due to Burlington County no longer accepting them for free? I will say that some towns make it difficult to dispose of stuff properly. Not that this is an excuse, but the process might be made easier somehow. On the other hand...

    Speedwell

    It could have also been Randolph's favorite flower. (Said 80% tongue in cheek.)

    Speedwell

    A cursory internet search isn't showing any holdings of Randolph's diaries or other personal papers. I have a hard time believing that it doesn't exist though.

    "Art" in the Parks

    Kind of old news, but relevant to discussions we've had here regarding graffiti and defacement of historic sites and natural features. http://www.modernhiker.com/2014/10/21/instagram-artist-defaces-national-parks/ and an update...

    Speedwell

    I can't find anything to explain why Benjamin Randolph picked the name Speedwell. There were several ships named Speedwell - including one that was supposed to accompany the Mayflower - that brought settlers from England to New England. I'm not sure why Benjamin Randolph would name his sawmill...

    Van Note Camp

    There's also some pretty impressive remains of the base of the sawmill engine as well as a substantial mound of sawdust.

    Van Note Camp

    I'm pretty sure that's it at the link you posted. Van Note Lumber of Point Pleasant, NJ is still around - although it's just a wholly owned subsidiary of some other lumber company now. I am allegedly related to the Van Notes someway/somehow. Beck only has this to say about Van Note Camp...

    NJ State Policy for Geocaching

    To be fair we did have a lot of arguments on this site years ago about people placing caches in places that shouldn't get a lot of foot traffic. This would address that.
