    Where is this?

    That is quite a tree John. Some type of oak, maybe even an old white oak. I'll be interested to hear where it is. Probaly somewhere over by Jackson Road.

    What did they do there, dump coal for some use in town?

    NJ Fire Danger Dashboard

    Boyd, that fire dashboard could be a sticky thread to a "local weather" forum. Did you and Ben ever discuss that possibility, of a local weather forum?

    Where is this?

    Where is this. Just outside the pines. Old RR trestle. Looks like they had an interpretation plaque at one time. I know one person who can identify it in an instant.

    Music for the day

    Heard on my Ipod today just south of the Forked River Mountains and North of Wells Mills (use the red play button in center, not you tube). Daddy made whiskey and he made it well. Cost two dollars and it burned like hell. I cut hick'ry just to fire the still, Drink down a bottle and be ready to...

    Boyd, is there an option to make this light green a different color with more contrast?

    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    I think your plan is sound; remove the 3D from the menu. I don't use them intentionally.

    Busy beavers gnawing away at New Jersey man’s patience, one tree at a time

    I have a different take on this. The community should certainly chip in and set things to right. They have equipment and muscle. I don't ever see anyone out there when I go. One reason is because the entrance is so obscure it looks like a person's yard. But really, I see this all the time. I did...

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    No, we did not get to that spot. If you look at the trip link, it shows where we planned to cross by. As to what they are, it's odd that the road has a go-around there, right? Maybe they just stole dirt from there to fill in a very wet road.

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    By the way, in looking at John's area by Jemima Mount, I found something useful if you use Edge (and maybe others). I wanted to try and track the roads that go by Jemima in the 2024 MAP they propose, but there are no landmarks on that map. So I opened the 2024 MAP on this site (Ben's), and right...

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    We went by that one on a PBX explore John. Maybe I can come with you and your son if you go check it out. That's a wonderful area to be in. PS: that is an awfully low spot for this kind of stone. Guy, you have a video in post (3?) of Ted in the link below. Do you still have that one...

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    This reminds me Boyd. When I was fooling around trying to figure out which rectangles to look at on the Vermeule historical map on Bens site, he has #85 missing, or I'm missing something.

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    Interesting. If I interepret that newsletter correctly, that was gravel desposited later than the Cohansey sands, that is to say, the Bridgeton River Plain.

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    And yet the field is quite level, not a hill? Makes me wonder if they were from the Bridgeton formation cited in the article.

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    These photos give some perspective of how deep the holes are. You can stand in some and not be seen. The last photo shows Ron standing on a huge stone. There of course are many still underground.

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    Ron (Rooftree) had noticed an old symbol for a mine on the subject topo map, and it’s also on the 1885 Cook Topo Map. The mined area is in Bass River Township, about 2 miles northwest of Lake Absegami. Ron visited the site with a friend, and I visited the site yesterday with him, as I was...
