Driving up 206 past Atsion yesterday I noticed the road to Hampton Furnace was taped off. This morning I drove in from Carranza Rd and found the road to 206 taped off just as you leave Hampton furnace. There's a dirt covered culvert that drains water into the Mullica just east of the Railroad...

I walked that road from Carranza rd to Hampton Furnace. On an old map it shows it as a road on the west side of the Batsto but it is only recognisable as a road for about 1.25 miles. Shortly past the submerged bridge it turns into a foot path.

They did a controlled burn on the east side of Hampton Gate, it might be a good time to explore. It did not burn the briars near the river.

No, but the ruins at Atsion are cemented.

Mountain bike trails start at the Atsion ranger station. Go to the office for info. Although there are no marked trails there others start at the Carranza memorial and explore the wide trails there. Get a map. Ed

It appears the proposed route of the Delaware & Raritan RR is significantly north of where it was actually built, North of Apple Pie Hill and running through Hampton Furnace. BTW the MrSid viewer is really nice. Does anyone know when the RR was built? Ed

What's the vintage of this map? Ed

Biologists videotaped a beaver swimming up the Bronx River on Wednesday. Its twig-and-mud lodge had been spotted earlier on the river bank, but the tape confirmed the presence of the animal itself. (Watch beaver swim in Bronx River ) http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/23/beaver.bronx.ap/index.html...

Why was New Jersey divided into east and west? It's not even east/west when I look at the map. It doesn't seem geographical, pines are included with mountains in the west, and both share the Jersey shore.

Guy, can you post the portion of the map at Hampton Furnace? Ed

The New Jersey Conservation Foundation and the state Forest Fire Service are planning a controlled burn this month in a portion of the Franklin Parker Preserve in the township http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/112-02152007-1299614.html

News that the New Jersey State Police plan to use a section of a state-owned airfield on Route 72 as a bomb storage facility has Mayor Robert DePetris scrambling for answers. http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/112-02132007-1298536.html

Hey Stu, I have that disease. It's similar to malaria, treatable but not curable. I am not allowed to donate blood because of it. Is it cold up there in nowheresville, PA? When you get back this way let me know, we'll do some hiking and paddeling, and the PIC. Ed

Thats a really great spot! When we first "discovered it" in the late 70's we were hiking from Carranza to Lower Forge. We found an inviting foot path and stumbled onto the pond. At that time there had been a fire north of the pond and it was very open. Great for birding. We since mannaged to get...

Crowded enough that we had to park off site. The tickets have a half hour window for the entry time so there isn't crowding in the exhibit. There was no line to enter the exhibit itself. If you go, purchase the audio tour. For $7 you get some gadget with headphones. Highlighted exhibits have a...

Don, I am also a JRT fan. I owned 3 for quite awhile, a mother and 2 of her sons. The last died in Feb 2006 at 18 years 8 months. I am now looking for a pup. Do you hunt, race them? I attend the Northgate, Breezwood trials and also the JRTCA Nationals. What is the significance of the WP 1700...

We went to see it at the Franklin Institute yesterday. It was impressive but I was disapointed that the full size funeral mask was not present. It's the mask you see in the advertisements. I stood in front of that mask when it was at the Smithsonian in the 70's. It made me feel like I was in the...

Amen to that. IE7 is an inprovement, but takes time to get used to.

This is the first time the state has issued warnings on how much squirrel people should eat, Tom Slater, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Senior Services told the newspaper. http://cbs3.com/topstories/local_story_025150010.html
