    Busby's is open for food.

    It reopened back in October - I've been in a bunch of times now. The food is good and the service is very friendly. Stop in if you haven't. And while you're there, be sure to check out the historical artifact hanging on the wall in the restroom ;)

    Apple Pie Hill Tower Open Saturday

    That is a very interesting observation. I just watched YouTube channel Townsends make an apple pie based on a 1773 recipe in The Universal Cook by - appropriately - John Townshend. There's a nearly identical recipe to the one he follows in this 1792 Francis Collingwood cookbook, if anyone else...

    That was a great post, thank you for the perspective. I associate this layout more with North Jersey. Try backing out on Washington Street in Hoboken, it's a total madhouse. People also have no problem double parking and blocking you in. One of the many reasons to avoid driving in the metro...

    Apple Pie Hill Tower Open Saturday

    If that was the case, we're lucky we didn't end up with Applebee's Hill. Visitors would be driving up there looking for Cheetos-dusted wings or something.

    Apple Pie Hill Tower Open Saturday

    I picked up Sign Posts from the library again to see what Bisbee says about the name, but it's not much we don't already know here: Spung-Man already posted this very record. Certainly no mention of "Petty Coat Pile." Neither the "it kinda looks like an apple pie" or "it's named after a...

    If you happen to be nearby the Millville airport and you like beer then definitely check out Glasstown Brewing. Nice taproom and they make some very good brew, IPAs especially. There also used to be a moonshine distillery across the street, Jersey Shine, but I think they have since closed...

    john mcphees, the pine barrens

    That'd be the Mojave desert barrens, not the Pine Barrens, right? Here?

    No worries, just posted for your interest. I don't really talk to anybody else who runs a map site.

    PMTiles

    Nope, it works for raster tiles as well. Here's a demo: https://protomaps.github.io/PMTiles/examples/maplibre_raster_dem.html It's explained in the docs (and also in the GitHub link above). And you should be able to use this with just about any hosting provider, it doesn't have to be Amazon...

    I saw this referenced on Hacker News over the weekend and thought you might find it at least interesting, if you aren't already aware of it. Intro/demo: https://protomaps.com/ Technical explanation: https://protomaps.com/blog/dynamic-maps-static-storage Code...

    Report of the NJ State Museum 1910

    Yes, it has the frontispiece map as well!

    New Roads

    I would strap myself to a tree to defend the YMCA camps from a bulldozer. I love it out there. Black Run, too. If you want to go 206 to 73, what's the matter with the southern route, Oak Shade to Jackson? Keeps you away from the Marlton congestion on Rt 70 and you get to drive through a nice...

    Report of the NJ State Museum 1910

    It's the whole thing, the original 1911 printing. The pages match up with your link. The only thing I see that's different is the binding is green with gold letters on the cover in the digitized copy; mine is red with no title on the cover. That must have changed at some point. It wasn't...

    Report of the NJ State Museum 1910

    I saw that it was digitized online, but was actually nuts enough to still want a physical copy. I've been trying to slowly learn more about local species, and this is a great reference. I also just like old books like this. The frontispiece with "Woodrow Wilson, Governor of New Jersey" - 1911...

    Apple Pie Hill Tower Open Saturday

    Park Service had this little info page printed out: Where did "Petty Coat Pile" come from? This is the exact kind of situation where I'd like to see what Doc Bisbee has to say about it, but that book still eludes me. I think I'll have to check it out from the library again.

    Hampton upper forge?

    I was wondering this exact same thing to myself looking at LIDAR last week, so I went back there and checked it out. It's not as interesting as it looks. Just a spot for ATVs to do donuts :(

    Apple Pie Hill Tower Open Saturday

    I got the notification email as well - I stopped by in the morning. It was very nice and clear. I have been up in the cab of the Medford tower before, years ago, but not up this one. I am not a fan of heights. Still, I at least got some shots. I noticed the recent burn has kind of uncovered...

    Goshen in Camden or Burlington?

    I read that as, "I have never seen a series of canals that transport and bypass water, typically with a reservoir in a bog that was built right into the watershed."

    Goshen in Camden or Burlington?

    I assumed Boyer, taking notes in the 1930s that became Old Inns and Taverns, meant the old route of Jackson/Atsion Rd, this: Since this really does connect Berlin and at least a point close to Atsion. This still works with the identified location. His description just wasn't that clear.
