Thanks for understanding. I know I come across as a jerk or someone who wants to hoard information but I feel really strongly about keeping these places intact for as long as we can.

I totally agree. But on the other hand, the sharing of the coordinates to Ace Campground led to it being vandalized after sitting untouched for 15+ years, and then it finally being bulldozed by the state. I think it's totally possible that discoveries can be shared without posting the...

If there's anything there I'd bet it'd have been over by the faint roads here. I don't see why there'd be any sort of settlement here. People don't just decide to randomly start a town in the middle of nowhere. The only place of consequence nearby is Wells Mills. There's no water power for a...

So the gun club in the first post is one of the few left that haven't been picked clean by the folks who drive around looking for scrap metal. I really would prefer that coordinates like those not be posted on the site.

I ended up just scheduling some four day weekends off. I'll do some day-trips but I just am not at the place where I can drop ~$1k on a vacation yet.

Its getting better towards the end. I think I'll look for "Looking for a Ship." My next read is "Arctic Dreams" by Barry Lopez.

The iPhone camera is surprisingly capable. But when there's serious work to be done I'll always turn to my DSLR. The great thing about a camera phone - a good camera phone - is that it's always with you. No need to carry a phone and a point and shoot. I'll probably not be renewing my Flickr...

Seems like they omitted the quality taste. *rimshot* I'll be here all week! Hey, try the veal!

I'm not giving up on John yet, though. Anybody have any recommendations on a better book of his to read besides, obviously, The Pine Barrens?

The book in question: Uncommon Carriers My review: Not so good.

I think I'm pretty set on seeing mountains. If I wanted to see Pine Barrens, well, they're close. :) Right now this place is the front runner. Still not 100% sure if that's what I want to do, though. The idea of going out to the middle of nowhere with a bunch of books, pen and paper sounds...

Yeah I'm pretty much overwhelmed right now. This happens every time I want to take a trip, and I end up taking the time off but not going anywhere because there's too many options. Right now I am seeing flights + hotels out West cheaper than what I would pay to drive and stay in New England...

I certainly could, I just feel like I need to get out of Dodge for a while.

I'm thinking about taking a week off and going somewhere in early September. I'd like to be somewhere away from NJ (figure about a 5h car ride, give or take), preferably somewhere scenic where I can do some hiking, photography, and maybe a little kayaking. I was thinking perhaps somewhere in...

I could put a max size limit on uploaded file attachments. But yes generally folks should resize their images before uploading.

One of my favorite spots is by where the bridge used to be at Mary Ann Forge.

Quaker Bridge Road (from Batsto to Atsion) is a really great, easy road.
