I had not heard that William Richards built a mansion on his property. From what I understood he just had a farm up there. Apparently he was quite a strange guy.

No worries! :)

Please no pictures of dead animals on the site. Thanks!

I believe I have the same tripod. The center column is reversible so you can basically hang the camera upside down and get down to ground level with it.

A stock Wrangler will get you through 90% of the Pines just nicely. What kind of trail are you looking for? Scenic dirt road? Puddles and mud?

I met Karen after I did a review of Whispers in the Pines for this site. She has been a supporter of NJPineBarrens.com as well as a supporter of my own writing and a good friend. I will really miss her.

Folks, I just got news that Karen Riley, author of Whispers in the Pines: The Secrets of Colliers Mills, Voices in the Pines, and the Pine Barrens of New Jersey Arcadia book passed away yesterday. This is the email that I received:

Ok, sounds good! JohnnyB: Mansion tours will be going on a regular schedule starting in May or June, I believe. Every Saturday at 1 and 2 PM.

Ah, okay. Good call.

Looks like I'll be getting Dana closer to 11:30am that day. May have to count me out. :(

It will mean that all of the loud motorcycles on 563 will have to slow down as they roll through town. I am sure everyone will just love that.

What time, and where should we meet?

Well, there probably will be a bunch of new faces from the NJPB Facebook page. It looks like the mansion tour is a go as well. Those folks who have poked around Atsion before and/or know the history of the various buildings probably won't get too much out of the tour. This is going to be...

Hi Amy, Thanks for joining the site! -ben

It's been a long time since we've had a site get-together and, with the articles on Atsion that I've posted recently, I've been plotting a meetup/guided tour of the town. It looks like it will be Saturday, May 18th at 1pm. Meet in the parking lot behind the Atsion mansion. I'm going to try to...

Will likely be there with Dana.

Ok, I'll take that back.

It's okay. I'm over it now. Given that I've given the truck more than it's fair share of scrapes in the woods and a dent or two while living in Princeton, it's really not that big of a deal. I'm probably one of the few people who actually bring their Honda Ridgeline off-road.
