Emmor must have felt pretty good about the Armistice, signed just 2 months later. He likely would not have been drafted anyway, but still.

You have a real mixed bag out there. The land east of the RR, is I think CAFRA, and Pinelands control on the western side. But most of the land is disturbed. From the digging, you have these great hills of sand, and I mean BIG. Now the ponds they developed really don't have a drain, unless it's...

I think it's still being fought over in the courts or within the halls of Government Departments (EPA, Pinelands, Cafra, etc.)

I like that lake a lot, and I like the name. I recall a couple family picnics there. I've lived and swam in Hampton Lakes, Presidential Lakes, Lakehurst, and Bamber Lake. I also swam in Mirror lake and both swimming lakes in Forked River and Harry Wright lake in Whiting too. Fond memories.

People will hire themselves out as junk removers. They remove it alright, but they don't pay a fee at the county dump.

I'd like to throttle the person that dumped that.

Do NOT slow down going through the sand with a vehicle like that. Keep your speed up.

Why even do it, there's miles of forest.

That reminds me. I have a few floppy discs with photos on them. I'll have to find a company who will put them on a CD or thumb drive. Geez, remember the viruses in Napster?

Is this bar here a solid safety bar?

Did you ever destroy one? This is my second. The first one I did by putting it in a bucket with 2 pounds of salt for six months outside. I think I remember pounding it with a sledge hammer at the end. They are super tough. Today I used a big crow bar and chisel to open it up, then when I got the...

I hope you stay that way. Some people do.

Pretty soon you'll be dribbling it.

That was Doc, heading back to 1955 to pick someone up.

That's because it was well planned. Some guy named Guy planned it.

Didn't we go very near that hill(ish) on our Alquatka Trip? (edit: no, after looking closer, we did not get down that far.) https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/alquatka-branch-a-pbx-hike.4453/

Very interesting. But what's a bird point?

Nice catch Tom. A glorified planter? Something in the Greek style maybe.

That's really interesting Al. It must of given you quite a thrill when you found the first one that was definite the moment you laid eyes on it. Did you think back to the possible creator of it?

You have a good point. But my stepdad stood on the porch steps with his hand on his hips while I was working on my motorcycle, and fresh out of high school and said: "Go get a job". There was no money or encouragement for college. And his life skills were lacking. I had to learn the hard way...
