    Salters Mill Being Refurbished Again

    Not quite Pine Barrens related, although this has to deal with Abe Lincoln's ancestors in Imlaystown, which Beck wrote about. http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080619/NEWS01/806190553/1004

    The Upper Batsto

    Nice trip. Always interesting to find the old cord roads. I don't think there's a spot in the Pines that humans haven't been to.

    Where was Davis Grove?

    It's either that one or the one in Jenkins. If I remember the last price posted on the station in Medford was either $0.89 or $0.99/gal.

    June in the Woods

    You need a camera (or lens, in my case) that will let you shoot in macro mode. Most point and shoot cameras will only focus on objects 6' away or farther.

    Very nice! Did you walk up the stream itself, or along the sides?

    Atsion To Boot Hill

    Well, to be fair, I've only been to that area twice in my life, and I am sure that there are far more interesting things to be seen than I have found. Sorry to have offended you!

    Atsion To Boot Hill

    Iron Mills is disappointing. There's just the bridge to see.

    Southern Ocean Landfill is the one by Chicken Bone, right?

    New Toponym?

    I figured you would look in the easy places first. Your library is better than my shelf and a half of books. :)

    New Toponym?

    A cursory glance in Heart of the Pines and Jersey Genesis revealed nothing.

    I know a forum where they talk about things like that all the time.
