Ben took a vacation from the Rockies in Colorado yesterday. Here he is at Cold Spring, by the Albert Brother's Homeplace yesterday: http://www.njpinebarrens.com/modules.php?set_albumName=albun08&id=ace&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php And...

For all of you fellow Christians out there, Happy Easter. The Lord has risen! :) Spring and Easter seem to take longer and longer to come after winter, as I grow older and older. And this year I am in the unfortunate position of having to apply stain to my decks and my house. It is a chore...

Did any of you really think the Eagles would win? I mean really, deep in your heart?

This entry from Vivian Zinkin's "Place Names of Ocean County New Jersey (1609-1849)" really intrigues me: Webbtown Pre-1845 (F. Reynolds) Because several families of Webbs once lived here; loc. near Balcony Hill, in the SW part of Manchester Tp. I'll have to study the...

Many of you scoffed at me when I first proposed that aliens from another planet visited the pines long before the Lenape Indian ever tread a moccasined foot in this area. Well, tease and laugh at me no more. Here is the proof I need to make doubters eat crow. Here is a photo of an actual...

Guy, Did you get out with your brother this weekend to look for more of the Lawrence line? I'd like to meet your brother someday. He's older than you right? But not a lot older. One of my brothers (Danny) is 2 years older than me and we used to hit the pines in my jeep very often in the late...

I went out today to specifically look for snakes as they love to bask in the sun this time of year. I came across this mean looking guy. He was not easily provoked, but when I lifted him slightly with a stick he curled up and threatened me with the classic snake defense stance. He rattled, but...

Anyone going out exploring tomorrow or Monday and want company? We have some free time on our hands. Bob

Barry, there is an article in the PPA newsletter (Pinelands watch) about Sea Oaks Golf Course. Seems they were pumping over 16 million gallons of water a month onto the course to keep it green even when 40 local wells were dry during the drought last year. AND, they recently asked to increase...

Look what I found today at Speedwell furnace. Photos show side one and then the flip side. Are you thinking what I'm thinking it is? http://www.njpinebarrens.com/modules.php?set_albumName=albun08&id=abs&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php...

Ben, is there a way you can add a statement regarding ownership of photos? Something like "don't use without permisson". I'd hate to see someone selling a key chain with a photo I took. I don't want to put a copyright on the photo itself. bob

I drove my daughter and her friends up to 4H camp Monday. It is in the very northwest corner of the state, above the Delaware Water Gap in Stokes State Forest. After dropping her off my wife and I drove up to High Point since I had not been there since I was a kid. On the way up through Stokes...

By the way (for Gerry), I have lived in Bamber for 21 years and have only seen Pine snakes, black racers, green snakes, northern water snakes, and Timber Rattlers. The corn and mild snakes are quite a find for you. Do you have a lot of skill finding snakes? Were they all found in the mountain...

Gerry, you ever hear of the place "Hotmess" on the Forked River?

Ben, did I tell you I think you are a really nice guy for allowing me to post my photos, and for the administration of this web site? You are a good man. 8)

I read the article you posted last week Ben. Nice bit of research by the author. I salute him, and do have some comments/questions: a.) So are the ruins we all know locally as Pasadena really the remains of Brooksbrae Brick Company? The article was not exactly clear on that point. b.) Was...

Ben, since you changed the format, I no longer see the total random image when I open the home page. I only see the top half of it. I really liked seeing it upon opening the home page. :|

Ben, Was it you who wrote the synopsis for each book? If so, I'm impressed!

Jeez, look what they done now, those radicals who portray themselves as helping the environment. This will destroy the lumber industry in that township and cost thousands of jobs. I gotta call my mentor and have him marshall the right-wing troops. These tree-huggers are definitely out of...

Annie and I saw something quite strange in the pines today. It is the title picture in my new image gallery nested folder called "strange". Does anyone know what it is? Its in the center of the picture. bob
