    So long Hampton Furnace Building

    Problem was, I was in the water downstream about 200 yards from the bridge when they rode by (you know where that little clearing is by the curve). I thought nothing of it. Then I was up on the west bank looking at plants when I saw him pull up to the ruins and back up. I started walking towards...

    So long Hampton Furnace Building

    I was walking in and around the Batso River today at Hampton Furnace Site. A guy and his wife (I presumed) pulled up to the building and started loading the building blocks into the back of their mini van--easy as you please. I started walking over there. She got back in quick. He threw in one...

    The Upper Batsto

    He had a heart attack several years ago, so he slowed down. He would barrel through the briars and come out the other side all ripped up, bloody, and grinning. Have some fun with him about this.

    The Upper Batsto

    HA! Small world. He is a lawyer. Shorter guy, about 5'5"? Is very opinionated?

    Where was Davis Grove?

    You were very close Jeff. At the location of your original guess (or close, at one of those horseshoe turns), I stopped there to take a leak on my way home from a business trip about 6 years ago. At the turnabout right by the lake there, a lass of about 25 years old (a blond) was sunning herself...

    Where was Davis Grove?

    Jerseyman, remind me to never commit a crime in your neighborhood. You are awesome. People like you are a treasure.

    The Upper Batsto

    Yes it was prior to your time Jeff. But nobody moves through the woods like you do. For you it would have been a walk in the park.

    June in the Woods

    Banjo, I stopped using automatic for close shots. I seem to be doing better like that. Here are a couple from last weekend. I stumbled upon these orchids in Jakes Branch. I still have your chairs. I'll be in the woods by Batsto River Saturday......bob

    PBX Shirt

    Are you a big guy who is nimble on his feet in the pines? I surprised the PBX members who came on the last trip with Tee shirts I designed, but I got too many double extra large. They really don't look that large to me. If you are interested, I'll send it to you for $15, or $12 if in person. I...

    The Upper Batsto

    PBX did a trip in 2002 entitled "Begin the Batsto". We went from near the boot camp upstream to find the source of the Batsto until we ran out of flow. We graciously received permission from Cutt's Cranberry bogs to cross their property, but the gun club told us NO! :argh: I really wanted to...

    4.3.7204.0836 (beta)

    I am quite impressed with the "look around" control on the newest Google Earth. It takes a lot to please me since I am a big USA photomaps fan, but they really did a good job on this one. How long has this been out?

    June in the Woods

    Bill, Steve (Bear) led a legendary PBX hike of that lovely stream. We have the report somewhere around here.

    Lyme Disease - Do You Have IT too?

    Yeah, good one Ben. I remember 'ol Strom. I wonder what happened to him. I think I was probably the guniea pig for Lymes in NJ. I had a weird series of sore throat infections and upset stomach in 1987-1988. I then had a severe bout of depression that lasted 9 months. I dismissed it, but in...

    Where was Davis Grove?

    Very good bit of detective work Guy. You may be on to something. When did the CCC plant the grove of pines in that area I wonder.

    Where was Davis Grove?

    I do remember that vacuum shop on route 70. That shop lasted long after progress made him stick out like a sore thumb. Wasn't that shop on south side of route 70 west of the medford circle?

    barren nights

    That is a very intriguing photo Bill. I can't describe how I feel when looking at it. I first thought...hmm, thats scary. But then, no, not that at all. I like it a lot. Was the path macadam?

    more herps from the pines:

    Bob, what kind of topography was that King snake taken in. Does not look too local. Very nice photos.
