There isn't a dog's chance of this happening.:)

Very nice Ben! It is to bad that the weather has been mild so far. The ice formations along the many falls in this area are beautiful.

Frohliche Weihnachten! Ich wunsche ihnen allen ein frohes Urlaub!

Time for the Rorshach test...top circle is the turbine and lower ellipse is the ladder with a diagonal brace coming in from the left and almost hitting it center.

I don't think anything will change that much as far as logging in the Pinelands. The bill states that any logging will fall under the "Pinelands Protection Act" and the comprehensive management plan.

Turtle, I see a windmill too. There is a boy eating ice cream in the picture, to the far right and just in front of the water slide base. Now follow his elbow straight up. Above the car, I can just make out a ladder or part of the windmill tower, in the triangle framed by the slide steps, slide...

Ecampell, I saw a rail dated 1913 between the broken crossing sign and the location of your last picture.

No problem, Teegate. The stones may be used for the combination of looks and purpose. There are some rails along this stretch of track that have forging dates that many will find astonishing. I was impressed that they have survived as long as they have. They are a fine example of Bethlehem...

Teegate, thanks for the correction. The stones being used as a retaining wall makes sense, but they are rather ornate for their purpose.

Thanks! I enjoy your reports very much. There use to be a makeshift bridge, made of railroad ties, that could be used to cross the the gap in your last photo. Did you notice the ornate stone used around the bridge in your first picture? I think it was used to "dress" the abutments because of...

I would have never imagined a windmill at that location. I always thought that the posts were the remnants of the large building's loading dock. I was under the assumption that the building was a warehouse associated with cranberry operations. I wouldn't be surprised if these windmills looked...

Thanks Al, for the posting and the information. Eventually, I will take a trip to the area and do some exploring. I'll add it to my bucket list.

Manumuskin, have you ever come across any relics of the old targets or brass shell casings from all of the shooting that occured? The wooden tank, in the photograph in the link you provided, are very cool. (The bike next to the stump Bobpbx noted is awesome.)

Manumuskin, the plant you are describing sounds like dichotoma, or Purple Beautyberry.

I think you are correct Bobpbx. Upon closer study of the first picture, you can clearly see the White Oak leaves littering the ground. You have an eye for detail. ;)

I always thought that eagles, being the symbol of our country, were suppose to be proud, majestic birds that would stand strong without flight. In reality, most I have come across are timid and cautious. Catbirds are more aggressive.

The knuckleheads could have atleast followed through on what they started and dropped that tree to the ground. That tree is going to die and become a hazard. Notice that most of the weight is to the left of the trunk, it will fall onto the road when it comes down. What a dumb thing to do, they...

I ditched Windows Vista on my HP 2140 netbook. I like change and wanted to try a different OS. I wasn't daring and patient enough to try a "hackintosh", so I went with Linux Ubuntu. After some tweaking with Unbuntu Netbook Remix, I am very happy. It is perfect for for what I use it for and the...

I am understanding, more and more, that "abuse of discretion" is the normal procedure with planning boards and town councils, with any growth within or around the Pinelands. An abuse of discretion may be found in those circumstances where a decision provides no rational explanation...
