    Check your basement

    I have a Little Giant pump which I bought at Leslies Pools which is submersible and pumps down to 1/8 inch. It senses water and turns on when needed and turns off when done. No need to baby sit...

    Abandoned guinea pig at Carranza

    After The Snow Is Gone

    On Sunday morning we headed down Carranza Road. The water at the bridge at Hampton Gate was trying to run over the road way, today it's down consideribly. I've only seen it worse after the 1000 year flood. Yesterday we went to hike Push Line via Tuckerton Road from High Crossing, lots of deep...

    Abandoned guinea pig at Carranza

    Thank you all for your concern and support. Miss Piggy, yes it's a girl, is doing very well and seems no worse for her ordeal. She has a good appetite and likes carrots, lettus, timothy hay, oranges, dog kibble but not tomatoes. She is easy to handle and is quite at home, and to our delight...

    Abandoned guinea pig at Carranza

    We finally got out for a walk at Carranza at 1 PM today. Right before the first entrance to the lot we saw this little guy abandoned in the snow. It was scared and wouldn't leave it's shavings. We got it home in spite of having a terrier and Great Dane in the Wrangler. It is eating and drinking...

    Custard Stand

    There has been a building there since 1956. I don't know if it was a custard stand then but probably a snack bar of sorts. I have an 1989 phamplet called "Historic Tabernacle A Pictorial Tour", but it's not in there. I wish the Historical Society would put together a book like they did in...

    Snow ??

    I enjoy scrapple too, I just try to not look at it too closely! I was brought up with the saying " don't eat anything you don't recognize". The tradition at our house on a snowy morning is corned beef hash. It gives me lots of long lasting energy to shovel and plow. When I get cold and wet I...

    Some Info

    I hike and drive by that tract frequently, I've even tried the road into it and it wasn't inviting. I didn't know it was private and there wasn't any indication of it being so. It doesn't look used, it is low and in the old areials it seems to have been farmed. I don't know why someone would pay...

    Rail Road odditys

    Thanks Jerseyman, that piece really had me confused. When we looked down the "straight tracks" they did have alot of wobble in them. I suspect the washer may be from an RR afficonado leaving his mark.

    Oyster Creek Power Plant cooling tower

    I've fished Oyster Creek for decades, from a boat, and always found it to be a good source of blue claw crabs and fish. The channel is always full of traps. Maybe they should take a look at the run off from the towns.

    Rail Road odditys

    A couple of finds along the tracks from Carranza to the Batsto trestle. These unusual metal pieces were occasionally under the tracks, both inside and outside the rails near the Quarter Mile Run. I've only seen them in this section of track. They were always along side a tie but not...

    Medford Canoe Trail

    We kayaked this trail on Sunday afternoon. We put in at Gill Road and took out at Kirby's Mill. They don't want you to drive down to the water at Gill Road so you must carry your canoe about 500 feet. The put in at Coates looks easier but all of the banks are steep. We parked across from Kirby's...

    Camp Batona

    Driving past the Carranza Memorial on Friday morning I saw a strange sight coming toward me. It was much larger than the horse trailers I usually see and as it got closer I realized it was a very nice, very large travel trailer. I've seen people camp out for deer week before but not this fancy...
