I can see them building houses on the flat lands when you first come in. But what will they do with the actual pits or Crystal Lake. There is a tremendous amount of water out there in swamps and creeks. Are they just developing the land from Route 70 to the Central railroad?

The worst thing is it does not even look like trash that you couldn't put in your regular garbage. I understand (but dont agree with) why people might try to dump construction debris, but household garbage is just ridiculous. I was out walking in Howardsville yesterday and there was a similar...

The article did not talk about the actual fuel consumption of these planes. With 8 engines and taking off with a full load it has to be pretty expensive.

Thanks for the update 46er, So BOMARC was for ICBMS not bombers?

Did I miss it? They did not mention the base on 539 or the fire that happened there. Before they removed the soil there you could drive up to the front gates of the base. It was such an eerie place. All the buildings just sitting there with the roads between them crumbling. We used to always...

That image made me want to listen to Led Zeppelin I

Yes, that is quite a distance, especially through that soft grey sand. Did you make it to the trail that follows the Forked River? The area that you marked looks kinda of just wooded. Was there any special features? did you hit any parts of the deep hollow branch?

Yes the road from the materials to the railroad and the railbed behind the materials has been graded but not widened. The road over Frazees bridge was widened. There are now multiple firecuts that go from Lacey rd to the railroad. They used all the trails from materials going towards the...

Took the wife and kids for a ride to the mountain on Saturday. We came in from the direction of 539 via Bryant Rd. Once I got to the base of the mountain before you turn right and go up I noticed the road toward the railroad had been cut and widened on both sides. I did not follow it so I dont...

If you walked to Waretown junction on the Rail Trail, the only thing there now is a sign. There is not any physical items to see along the whole trail except the coal dump in Barengat and the old trestles. However the signs along the trail have some good info and pictures of each area.

I am have heard of it. There are a lot books on Ocean County town histories in the Lacey Library. I read the one about Waretown, it is small but showed pictures of the old buildings and rail stations. They also had Lakewood, Bayville, LBI , Chatsworth, Point Pleasant and more. These were not the...

Was walking around FRM yesterday to celebrate earth day. At the top are a bunch of concrete barriers piled up. Not sure if these will be used to block the roads around the mountains or to shore up the north side which is washing away pretty badly.

That would be cool to see since they cancelled the air show at McGuire AFB. Lets see what happens with the Atlantic City Air Show in August

Thanks for the info. I will put the number in my phone. Believe me, I wanted to drive right up to them and say something and take pics of the plates, but I was by myself with 2 Labs. You never know what your up against out there. People have a tendency to over react. My labs maybe could of...

Was out walking with my 2 dogs at Old Halfway on Sunday. No one was around beside and a man and young girl sitting on the tailgate of a pick-up throwing stones in the water. They were on the main beach along the road on the south east side. I was circumnavigating the lake. When a 4 door jeep...

:(

Great movie too!

The main entrance on Lacey Road is not open. They have graded the road from the front entrance all the way to the railroad. You could connect to 532 or Jones road through Mountain to Bryant road but for the longest time there was a huge mud pit in the way unless you had 50" tires. There is now a...

Was out exploring the materials again today, They graded the road from the materials to the railroad and the railroad bed from that intersection to mountain road. They are now like super highways. They also widened the road to Frazees Bridge. With the old trail you would be just about rubbing...

Thats so wierd! that was the first thing I thought too We went pass there on Thursday. There were so many baby turtles on every log and branch. The kids were going crazy about it
