I wrote a letter to my local representative Martha Bark back in 2000 asking for her to explain NJDMV's policy of taking your money for ATV registration (after you have insured it of course) while at the same time forbidding the use of an ATV on any State or other public property. NJ ATV...

I came within 30 yards of a bald eagle tonight on my daily hike through the woods near my house. He was perched in a large pitch pine overlooking some abandoned bogs and my springer spooked him. He flew about 60 yards and perched again in a dead maple out in the bog. This is the second time I...

Your intentionally vague description is a good thing. No one should need more than that coupled with the map posted by Guy. Scott

Chew Road Guy The 65 is the approximate elevation( NGVD 1929 datum) of the intersection of Chew Road and Sandy Causeway. All USGS quads use the Mean Sea Level Datum of 1929 as their elevation reference. When you are reading any USGS quad map there is typically an elevation indicated for...

ORV Brad Campbell Policy This is the article about the directive on establishing areas within the state to ride ATV's. As you will read, Campbell gave a 2005 deadline to come up with something. Don't hold your breath. Scott http://www.off-road.com/land/nj_orv_policy.html

ORV's I just found your post and I have some info for you. Here is a link to NJDMV's ATV information page. http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/atv/atv.htm I have a quad and two motorcycles and this is by far the most restrictive state for operating off road vehicles. I have investigated this before...

http://www.humboldt.net/~tracker/coon.html The above link has good depictions of raccoon tracks and walking patterns. My first inclination is raccoon but he appears to be missing a toe. The scat appears to be bear. I've seen a lot in Sullivan Pa. where I hunt and it looks like late summer...

I live in Pestletown about 3\4 mile as the crow flies (or should I say buzzard) from where the body was found. I have lived there since 1984 and that's probably the third or fourth body found off of or along Chew road in that time period. Our most famous body dumping was performed by...

Bruset: If the dead animal was in fact a muskrat as the Fish and Game rep thought, it wasn't the bait. It was a skinned carcass .The trapper skinned it on site and left the carcass which is legal. Muskrats are snared by placing the set along their most likely travel pathswithout the use of...

Trapping I am really happy about how well my post was accepted and was equally happy about the prompt response you received from Fish and Game. As to your question Bob, the snare is aircraft type cable formed into a loop with a one way slide mechanism that only allows the loop to tighten once...

Trapping and Hunting in the Pine Barrens I'll probably really make some friends here, but here goes. I have been hunting, fishing and trapping since the late 1960's and fully support the legal pursuit of all those traditions that are part of our heritage. The people on this site ESPECIALLY...

I just checked the Hammonton, Newtonville, Atsion and Egg Harbor City Qudrangles and no such stream is shown. I also checked the USDA Soil Map aerials in the Hammonton region with no luck. I'll talk to some locals that I know and let you know if I come up with anything.

Go to maptech.com and click on online maps. Type in Blue Hole as a place and NJ as the State. The first map up is a USGS showing the Blue Hole and the roads through the ranges. Maptech also gives you the lat/lon as you drag your cursor over a spot if you want to use GPS. The first time I went...

It's really amazing that it took Jeep 15+/- years to realize there was still a market for a real Jeep with Dana 44's (like they use to have) and some other decent running gear like axles capable of turning average size off road tires without shearing. They spent way too much time pushing out...

I have done a lot of casual research on the origins of Pestletown where I live but have never really came up with anything substantive. The best clue I have had so far is an old gentleman originally from Dutchtown on 206 that told me that there were people by the name of Pestle in Blue Anchor...

That is a very well written and photographed article. The N.J. Society of Professional Land Surveyors publishes a quarterly journal called the Coordinate.They published an article a while back on the East/West Jersey line that wasn't nearly as interesting. By the way, in my 28 years of...

My office is located in Berlin which was formerly known as Long-a -Coming. The current White Horse Pike and portions of the Old White Horse Pike through Waterford and Winslow were known as the road to Long-a-Coming.The Berlin Borough Hall has historic photos on display of the pike as a stage...

The first photo that you have shown is a State Dept of Commerce Monument that were used on all of the State forest tracts.Most of the surveys were done in the 1950's. They usually have a number designation and initials such as WA indicating Wharton State Forest.You need a copy of the boundary...

Chew Cemetery and Pestletown I am the guy that bach2yoga spoke with about the cemetery in Pestletown. I know about the Chew cemetery also. The Chew Cemetery on Chew Rd. is still maintained by survivors of the Chew family. I know one of the caretakers and he told me that his father's family...
