    Forked River Mountains Tour

    Looks like the library at work has a copy of it. I'll try to get over there sometime this coming week to grab it.

    Historic Preservation in Wharton State Forest: A Lost Cause?

    I think that, for sure, the state prefers ecology over history. Ecology is "cool" and especially with the push to be "green" in recent years, it's an area that a lot of people have interest in. History? Especially local history? Not so much. That's for boring folks and historians with long bushy...

    Forked River Mountains Tour

    Yes, that 1959 article in the Star Ledger is what made me think I had "discovered" the answer to what Aserdaten was. I guess the main thing is to trace back the ownership of the property and look for clues as to why it may have been named the "Aserdaten Tract." Do we know if the Rutherford...

    Historic Preservation in Wharton State Forest: A Lost Cause?

    I think that, given the states inability to properly protect its history, putting signs up marking the locations of each historic site would likely do more to endanger the site than to increase awareness of its history or importance.

    Forked River Mountains Tour

    Thanks! I'm glad that everyone liked the photos. I'm happy to be living back in the area so I can visit the FRM's with ease now. Lost Town Hunter, in the course of your research of the FRM's, how much information did you come across regarding the land holdings of Rutherford Stuyvesant? I've...

    Forked River Mountains Tour

    I drive a Honda Ridgeline through the woods. Take that! Actually the new Ford Eco-Boost engine in the F-150 is really interesting. I like the look of the new Ford trucks and the mileage on them seems really good. I'd love to get 23MPG from my Ridgeline.

    Forked River Mountains Tour

    Interestingly enough, I find the FRM's to be more interesting than Wharton. They seem more "wild" and remote to me.

    NJPB Live Maps Important Update

    For whatever reason, the DOQ maps had not been working for the past few weeks. I just checked today and they seem to be working again. So right now, for now, all of the maps seem to be loading correctly. And again, if anybody here knows Javascript and would like to take over maintaining the...

Just a heads up, those email...
