Those foundations along with some existing occupied homes and a few foundations out on Chew Road are the remnants of Chewtown. I have an 1885 map of Waterford that calls the area Chuton. I have seen other maps call it Chuton as well. An older (75 yrs old +/-) friend of mine from church is the...

Guy My visualization is telling me that he is describing Sandy Causeway on the way out to Chew. If you headed southwest about 2 miles from the trestle in Parkdale along the track road, you would hit Sandy Causeway. (locally known as Three Bridge road) If you made a left you would be heading...

The 275 gallon oil tank anecdote in this link was the oil tank that we pulled out of a spong on Chew Road. I hauled it back to Atsion in my truck. With a lot of help from Jersey Devil 4x4 guys muscling it out of the spong. The page has a good photo of the brim of my hat in the lower right...

According to their web page "about us" section, they utilize farm fields between crop rotations, old gravel pits and ski resorts in the off-seasons. No state lands, accorrding to them. They appear to have a good handle on the number of unregistered quads and dirtbikes in N.J. It also looks...

Yes, the photomap in the Conservation Resource site link is the map I was referring to that depicts the road network footprint. Ski Mountain, now Pine Hill Golf Course, is west of Branch Ave. (el. 209) Their facilities are contained within Branch Ave.to the east, Hickstown Road to the...

Come on Guy, I thought you were a better detective than this! Punch in Clementon in Maptech and check out your highest points of elevation. BM 199 (Lat 39d 47m 52s x Long. 74d 59m 36s jumped out at me) Then look at the footprint of the roads as shown in the Conservation Resources map...

You could have come late. They were registering people up until 11:00 a.m. +/-. The registration was only for future contact and to get a door prize ticket for the Pic. The dumpsters are set at the next road south of Quaker Bridge Road, not at the ranger station. We were at the Pic until the...

The cleanup was a time well spent in the woods and once again (2) 40 yard roll-offs were filled, a mound of metal including a car and a trailer load of tires were removed from the pines. The materials came from Waterford to Chatsworth and beyond. Numerous Jeep clubs were well represented and...

Here is the text from a factoid that was in today's Courier as well. ATV FACTS From 1982 through 2004, at least 48 people died in ATV-related accidents in New Jersey, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Those most likely to be involved are under the age of 16. It...

Another off-road vehicle park may have a small, positive effect on the pines. It will draw a few of the current riders out of the woods that are nervous about getting nailed by the Parks and Forestry boys (or girls). As for the majority of people who own quads and dirt bikes, they will...

George If you go to Atsion first and register you would be eligible for some nice truck accessory door prizes at the Pic later in the day. I will be usuing my red truck becuse it doesn't have the tool box. I will be headed to Atsion at around 9:00 a.m. to sign in and hopefully grab some...

Not to mention the almost endless 4x4 related accessory doorprizes for the participants given away at the Pic. Hey King, I am the guy that wrote the letter about the cleanup last year and presented it to Waterford Township Committee. I had aked for "No Dumping" signs and a little police...

The annual Wharton Cleanup is scheduled for this Sunday 10-23-05. The meeting spot is the Atsion Ranger Station at 9:30 a.m. This is a heavy duty cleanup and you can haul in anything you can drag or carry with your truck. It is a good bunch of people with the bulk of the workers last year...

Declination, the difference between magnetic and true is constantly increasing. A USGS map indicates the declination for the year the map was prepared only. NOAA navigational charts indicate the declination at the time the map was prepared and give you the annual increase. Along our coast the...

Unfortunately I have to go to a wedding today. Guy, I will leave an adjustable height tripod on my porch this morning. I know I might be a little out of your way but if you need it come get it and drop it on the porch whenever you are around again. Scott

Guy I have been in saltwater fishing mode since May and haven't posted much but my wife and I still walk each week night down here in Wharton. I would like to proudly announce that we have our first batch of chiggers. A light batch but they are officially out there. The deer flies are...

Amen Steve. When I hunt in Pa. I go out of my way when talking to "locals" in the hunting camps and local bars to explain that I am from SOUTH Jersey, not the other Jersey. It is amazing how far the stigma of arrogance associated with New Jerseyites travels deep in to the Pa. deer woods. Of...

Sue Check my earlier post. I gave the exact season information and the Fish and Wildlife link to the season and bag limits. Scott

We still snapper down here and all you need is a fishing license, not a trapping license. You are allowed 3 snappers a day with no size limit. The season was from 1-1-05 to 4-30-05 and will reopen and run from 6-16-05 to 12-31-05. Bull and green frogs are in from 7-1-05 to 12-31-05 and you...

The Twp. woods cleanup scheduled for 4-30-05 out of Clementon gun Club in Atco has been cancelled again due to the threat of rain. I will post a new date as soon as I get one from the Env. Commission for anyone who was figuring on going. Scott
