I heard that Tom....and it was tied to the shipyard workers I think. I grew up in Burlington County, and we always called them Hoagies. Now I live in Ocean County, and they call them Subs. I catch myself using both terms. Route 539 is a clear dividing line for many things, meaning Philly vs...

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Jim, I did not go up there to the lookout. I drove my car up to the Lehigh Valley versus the truck. Once I got up there I became like a scared rabbit going up snow-covered hills. I was not used to it, and was leery of straying off the route I chose...

Yesterday I climbed up to Glen Onoka Falls up in Jim Thorpe PA. It was a gray day, but exhilirating hiking in the snow. If these show up too large I'll get busy rescaling them. Baron Von Frankensteins Bridge. Lehigh River Ice climbers at the first falls. Icefall further...

I don't feel McNabb was solely to blame for this loss, but like the article says....this is what his legacy will be. http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20090119_Phil_Sheridan__McNabb-Reid_legacy_takes_a_hit.html Everyone talks about their 2nd half comeback, but how come there were only 6...

Was that homestead the one on the 206 circle? That one always intrigued me. I lived in Hampton Lakes from 1961-1963, so I went by that circle many times in my youth. I always wondered who they were, how they made their living etc. I wonder if they are still alive and working. Probably not.

Life is great isn't it? Just when you think you have it figured out, you realize there is more than meets the eye. I had an old grouchy guy come over and help me repair my well pump last week. Big guy, 72 years old with calloused hands and a rough demeanor. He asked about my plant collection and...

I know very little about birds other than I like them around me. Today, in my yard I saw a little bird about the size of a warbler with a shocking orange cap on his head. The closest I could come to in the Kaufman guide is a Golden Crowned Kinglet (Male). He was light grey with a few black...

I'm hip to that. There was an older gent who walked the street in front of my house frequently. He carried a walking stick, and he looked as fit as a fiddle. I must have seen him a hundred times, but he and I never exchanged a word. He always looked straight ahead and a little downward, never...

My God, what a good strong point!! Well done my Pine Barren Brother. I feel EXACTLY the same way as you do. May we continue to do this as long as we can.

That reminds me. This fall I was at a lonely crossroads deep in the pine plains and a guy and his girl left beer cans and prophylactic wrappers lying around. One of the hunt clubs left a sign that said something like this (can't remember exactly)...."the next time you come here and leave your...

I can't live without this site. Seriously. The Pines are my passion, and if this site were to suddenly be a blank screen in front of me I'd wail like a little kid and mourn like a motherless child. Where would I go? One thing I really like about this site is that it's an oasis to escape to...

I don't think that is true if the County leaves it as wildland, but if they put a park there like they did at Jakes Branch in Toms River, then they would probably restrict that section. That entire area is owned by many different people / organizations, and there will always be some access in...

Bark your shins up much on submerged logs? I have a vision of spearing the family jewels on a beaver-cut branch :argh: But, I always wanted to do the Oswego from Pump-house on down to the forge. Nobody would do it with me though. Perhaps I'll wear double underwear.

They have a lot of nerve calling that Chatsworth.

I wisht (Al's language) I had Tuesdays off so's I could join you boys. Marvin is a cool dude. Is he the one eating the cranberry?

That is something that really annoys me, the way the authorities leave accident scenes. I popped out of the Greenwood Forest one day onto 539 and in front of me was a fresh accident scene from earlier that week. For 50 yards there was surgical tape, cotton wadding, bloody rubber gloves, and bits...

Thank you George. That is a most pleasant invitation--one I think I cannot refuse. Still, the arrangements must be made; letters written and posted, all that sort of thing. I dare say that I'll certainly look into it promptly.

"Most" of them do. That's why George is so hard to catch when he is out. The Search party is made up of volunteers who never venture there themselves, neither through habit nor hobby.

You amaze me too Bill. Keep 'em coming.

You know, that can easily be arranged. Ancora is but a stones-throw from you. No?
