Thanks Boyd! Yes that is the place. It was run by the son, Lynn Vandine, when I hunted Nordmont in the late 80's. I Googled him and he died in 2012 at 63. His obit said he closed the store in 1990. Back then, smoking cigarettes in these little backwoods stores wasn't just permitted, it was...

I love hunting in PA. Many of the local hardware stores and general stores have guns and ammunition. I used to go in a one-room store in Nordmont, PA called VanDines General Store back in the 1980's. They had all your basic food needs and always stocked lots of 30-06 and 30-30 ammunition. I...

I cried when Atco Sports closed for good. I bought lots of guns and ammo there over the nearly 40 years I have lived here. It was truly a Mom and Pop shop with old man Walt Barnes and his wife Rose holding down the fort for 50 plus years . You are right Piney Warden, K-Mart had it all as did...

For those sportsmen and sportswomen out there who enjoy hunting and shooting, I have some very bad news. Shooters in LEHT is being sold to Ocean County for the tidy sum of $10,5000,000.00. Ocean does not seem afraid to spend money. The store and ranges will close on 12-31-23. The County is...

My buddy hunted that general area for a long time and always called it 5 Points or Red Onion. My buddy hunts with a club that my older son just joined and they still drive it occasionally. There are some odd private pieces back in there owned by some North Jersey guys that no one has ever seen...

Tragic story. I cannot imagine how the wife feels right now. I doubt that it was the kind of stand in the photo though. Many of my PA friends who own ground up there have elaborate, all wood treehouse blinds made as solid as as a house. I hunted out of a few in Tunkhannock that had actual...

If you don't, no one will.

Outstanding segment Sam. You're a natural in front of a camera!

The thing that fascinates me the most about that spot is the work it took to dam the both the Mullica River and the Sleeper Branch back in the early part of the 1900's. Everything was intact in the 1930 aerial.

Germania always stood out to me because it is such a clean looking building and grounds.

Bob, there was a commercial processing plant near Burleigh where you I believe you are working. It was a LaMonica plant and it was just demo'd this summer. It was closed for years. The brand is still out there.

My buddy Vinny, who taught me how to make wine, also taught me how to find whelks on the ocean beaches around Stone Harbor and Cape May and how to make delicious scungilli with them. He could make dogs*it taste good if you gave him a little garlic and olive oil. :) Scungilli is very popular in...

Looks somewhat sketchy there Bob, be careful. Have you applied for a CCW permit yet ?? ;) It's strange that you were just in that area. I was recently contacted by a woman who wanted to build a house off of Pennsylvania Avenue in Whitesboro at an intersection with a paper street. (maybe access...

Yes Ben, I played around with adding yeast for about 3 years and I was very disappointed with the flavor at the end. The guy that taught me how to make wine with the fresh juice never added it and he still doesn't. The only reason I went to yeast was because I had a bad year where my...

I couldn't do that Bob, that would be a sign of weakness. ;) It hasn't happened yet but I would much rather sleep in my truck, tucked neatly away in the Pines, and then drive out the next morning with a beautiful sunrise in my rearview on my way back to P'town.. :)

The 2023 Juice is peacefully fermenting in the garage. 36 gallons of Barbera picked up on Friday night at Gino's. Two hours of scrubbing and sanitizing the demijohns on Friday and 2 hours yesterday sweetening and putting it put up. Can't wait to get stupid! :D Or stupider.

Sigh. If we could all just start driving electric cars., we would all be back to enjoying a normal climate in no time. Or maybe 18,000 years from now. Give me diesel or give me death ! :)

Pretty lucky so far down here in P'town. Bulk curbside pickup the last full week in every month. You can get rid of brush and trees and drain oil every Saturday 8 until noon at the DPW, and you get two free tickets per year to bring your own bulk down on Saturdays if you want to do it yourself.
