Here is a link that a lot of you will find interesting if you haven't already stumbled upon it. http://www.westjerseyhistory.org/ There are a lot of maps and other useful info. I was at the NJ State Archives today for a project I am working on and found a lot of neat stuff on my neck of the...

We did a little poking around with the dog about a mile north of Lower Forge on Sunday. This is what we found. This is a beautiful little spot along the Batsto river bank. I never made it down to Goodwater Run but I will next week. Scott...

Nice pics Boyd. East Creek is a favorite of mine for early spring fishing. Beautiful water quality in an undeveloped watershed. It is one of the few lakes in NJ where I will practice fillet and release to grab a few meals. Scott

You know where you would have found me back in those days. Yaaarh! :guinness: Scott

Took this on Tuesday a little after sunset in the biting wind on my nightly walk. The bog wasn't quite ready to give up the last of the open water. Scott http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=281&pos=31

I am glad you found that wheel. I was having some doubts as to whether it was where I remembered it to be. The last time I saw it was around 1989, before civilian GPS. The coords I gave you were a guesstimate from a location nearby. Looks like a great trip on a beautiful day. I will be out...

It is a beautiful spot in the heart of Wharton. That area out there to me has always been what I think of when I think of the "Pine Barrens". I started going back there when I was 10, circa 1968, with my father and his friend when I started hunting. My father's friend had a 1959 Pontiac and...

Yes the plaque is still there on the spillway shelf. There was a good flow leaving the pond today and it is under a few inches of water. Here is a pic of the plaque and another of my dog and my wife walking across the spillway...

My wife and I and the dog hit Mannis Duck Pond, north of Quaker Bridge, today for a beautiful winter hike. We parked a little northeast of Lower Forge and walked the rest of the way in. The pond was awesome with its winter ice coat and you can't beat a winter sky for photos. The dam makes a...

I have a Sanka jar 1/3 full of water that I scooped out of the Niagara River just above the falls in July 1972 when I was 13. It used to be full but 35 years of slow evaporation around the lid is taking a toll. Ebay here I come!

Thanks Jerseyman for an informative post. I have had visited Buttonwood and a few other less than desireable institutions because of a situation with my father in the early and mid 1990's. My father was diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease in 1990 and for the first year or two my mother was able...

While it is not in Burlington County as you requested in your original post, I have had the privilege of going through the grounds of Menantico Colony in Cumberland County, owned and formerly run by the Vineland Training School. Check out this fascinating link and discussions of "feeble...

Ironically, as I write this, I am eating a roasted roadkilled venison sandwich for lunch. I just gave some to a non-hunter that I work with and he loved it. I told him to watch out for the Peterbilt emblem! A friend gave me the deer last week. It was smoked by a trash truck in front of his...

Well I've heard that once you get past the smell, you've got it licked. I didn't just say that did I? :mrgreen:

For every 1000', 11 minutes will throw you out 3.2' Use the tangent function on a scientific calculator. Tan 11' x 1000'=3.1998' The angle must be expressed in decimals of a degree. 11'= 0.1833 degrees. Scott

Bring a snorkel.

My wife and I and the dog hiked a few miles along the east bank of the Batsto on Sunday. It was one of the quitest days I can remember in the pines. It was cold and gray with absolutely no wind and there was a lot of moisture in the air deadening the sounds. The skies were gray and it felt...
