I know there were a few of theses towers in NJ and Delaware. I believe the only one still in existence is the one at Sunset Beach in Cape May. They were to protect the entrance to Delaware Bay. Yours is a bit far from the Delaware or coast to seem effective. Maybe a local observation or fire...

I have been there and was surprised the trees around the foundations and ruins are not that big for growing for a 100 years

I hope that means the train will be running soon?

here is a link to NJFFS 68 PW https://ericsfirepics.com/NJ/new_jersey_forest_fire_service.htm

NJFFS also has a restored Power Wagon. They were always so cool looking!

Did a tornado go over a part of Rt 72 going west before Howardsville recently. Possibly the one that affected LBI? There are a bunch of trees snapped off just in one area. At first I thought they were thinning by the road. But when I went by the second time they are pushed over and snapped and...

At least whoever cleaned it up did a nice job and took all the stuff so it does not look like a garbage dump anymore.

Perhaps a trail marker or a calling card for someone to say "I was here." For a while in my town it was a big craze for people to paint rocks and leave them everywhere. Some even had inspirational messages. My daughters girl scout troop even painted bunches of them and took them to parks and...

What an inviting stream!

I dont have sprinklers and usually after the first 90 degree day in June my lawn is a nice light brown. This year even in August it is still a nice dark green because of all the rain. Unfortunately because of the rain my pool keeps turning the same color as the lawn.

I take the kids and the dog swimming to the dam at Bamber 2-3 times a week. There are defiantly some blow-downs visible right there. We also frequent the landing before Dover Forge. There are some obstacles there to get thru too. Even when you put in at DF canoe access it is still pretty wild. I...

I see steps to reach the barrels. Were they used as hunting stands? That would be pretty small and cramped. Perhaps it was to practice some piney basketball?

Did you hike through Hartshorne Woods and check out the WWII bunkers? Twin Lights is a must too. Marconi did his first wireless radio transmissions from there.

That old helicopter was pretty cool, reminded me of the BAT Copter! Who could forget this scene

There was a article on the Tuckerton Speedway in the local paper "Mailbag" this Friday. I did not copy as I dont think its allowed. It talked about how it was started and why it ended so quickly.

Where on FAcebook? I could not locate

Switlik also owned a lot of property in Jackson Twp. The land the Ocean County vocational school is built on off of 537 was donated by him.

Swimming and fishing are popular in the second pit. For some reason when the state bought it the gate was always closed and limited driving back there. It stayed pretty clean. The first pit was closed for ever, the state bought it and opened up for vehicle access. There are fish in there too and...

These signs are all along Lacey Rd where the OC property is. However once you are on the property there are no other ones I am aware of it. Even off of the railroad or if you come in from the Bryant there are no signs

I like this quote from the state " six localized areas are being closed to public access to protect the public, Conservation Police Officers and the surrounding habitat" Protect the public from what? Themselves?
