    On The Steps of the Atsion Mansion

    Very interesting! I looked at Ben's photo, and damned if it isn't water pipe. What is your background to this Mx? How did you know.

    William McCarty Letter Scanned

    You'd have a good time with a Last Will and Testament I have Jerseyman (tho it might be a copy of one, it looks very old). It was made out in 1777 by Thomas Potter of Good Luck (Forked River now). He is the one who met John Murray who allegedly straggled ashore from a shipwreck and Potter took...

    winter '07 on the Batona Trail

    Boyd, the box(es) in auto is confusing, but like you say, I do have a center one in manual. I'll try that. While in manual, I'll try the higher ISO setting too.

    winter '07 on the Batona Trail

    Nice shots Bill. Tell me something. I can't seem to consitantly shoot a subject in the foreground in focus. Here is one that did not work today: And one that did: 8 out of 10 times I try, the subject is blurred. What am I doing wrong?

    In the Atsion Road Vicinity

    Good finds Guy! I got chigged again today with the hip waders on. I watched 3 different packs of them crawl like they were sliding on oil up towards the top. I brushed them all off, but it got me thinking. If we had rubber boots with a kind of 2 inch wide rubber skirt at the top (think of a...

    The Roads of Home

    Here's a good 'un for you Jeff from page 173: "I first went to Martha Furnace with Warner Hargrove when there were mountains of slag not yet carted off...when there was still evidence of houses in the clearing, and when the great dam was visible not far under the water above the pool where...

    The Roads of Home

    "The lanes and Legends of NJ" I lent the subject book to my good friend Mickey Coen. He returned the favor by giving me a new one he had never read in return. It is a paperback copyrighted 1956, sixth printing. I just wanted to remark that, as I turned it over a few times in my hands, it...

    Time to Make the Wine

    Despite my "whiteness" my mother was italian; maiden name Zaccardo. I miss my Nana's cooking for sure. Many years ago it was, in Perth Amboy where I was born. What the devil is a "roasted red long hot"?

    Time to Make the Wine

    Scott, thanks for bringing us such esoteric culinary delights like "Pork Head Sausage". I'm sure that due to the fat content it is to be sampled in moderation, but like your wine, after a few swigs or bites moderation goes out the window, and a "devil may care" attitude creeps in........ :)...

    metal fence post?

    Man, that looks familiar. You ever see those little fences around fancy graves? They had iron rods for the rails. That's what that looks like...

    After the fire

    Nice photos Ed. That is very strange about the beaver lodges. I hope somebody like German can get us an answer to that one. Regarding the survival of the pine trees, I don't think Ed, that I have ever seen a pine tree in the pines with its roots intact and in the ground that was truly killed...

    Delaware Water Gap

    Very nice Boyd. I am not surprised there were few people even though 11 million (?) people live within 2 hours drive of there. After all, air conditioning and TV's are the great pacifiers.

    ? - Mexican Trucks in America

    I have to admit that I was a little taken aback by a presentation from a US Congressman (from I think Texas) this week on CSPAN (my favorite channel). He had photos of teenagers coming across the border in El Paso from Mexico with bookbags on their backs. They were heading to America to go to...

    I'm in the Courier Post today!

    I read your review. Looked fair and balanced to me, even if I have not yet read the book.

    Are the bugs horrible overnight.

    I would not do it Virgos. The chiggers will nail you. You may get lucky, but why chance it?

    Smooth Snake

    Not dying, no. The upright fronds become fertile with spores this time of year and turn cinnamon-brown color.
