    Planning a Batona Trail Thru Hike

    Is the photo on your profile a bald-faced hornet? Pretty cool if so.

    Fire in the Pines

    This is an interesting read from 1903. Damn locomotives and careless farmers burning brush. One "feeble-minded" person in the mix. Starts on page 45...

    Maybe it's a concrete wall?

    Bass River Fire Tower proposal

    Ed, post 555 in "where is this" thread is that same boat I posted a few weeks ago. You posted it 4 years ago. Amazing memory I have. :confused: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/where-is-this.9838/page-28

    Bass River Fire Tower proposal

    This 1930 aerial shows there may have been something there at that time (if I'm right about Guy's location).

    Bass River Fire Tower proposal

    I would shudder on the way up a tower having that base Guy. It looks way too small and not built with the specifications required (nor the craftsmanship).

    Bass River Fire Tower proposal

    When you think upon it, it's a weird location for a fire tower anyway...what is it, 20 feet above sea level there? A serious disadvantage from the start, and half of the view is towards the sea.

    Looks like a good plan. They only left out one thing.

    Merce Ridgway Remembered as a Storied Bayman, Folk Musician

    That book he wrote is a great read. Chris loaned it to me. Merce is a great example; Life is not all about money.

    I never knew about that njparcels.com, so that is another source for my explorations. Thanks. But, true to form, this lot is not listed in there either.

    Pushing and Searching

    I finally found out by going through a back door. The adjacent lot is owned by a land conservation entity, and they helped me out. To show how complicated this is, I've included a snip from their email below. I'd rather not make it publicly known who owns it (hence the XXX below), if you want to...

    Scott, you are a true explorer of the Pine Barrens. Ready to go out there for any suggested question. It matters not what the question is, just get me out there and back into the woods! :)

    Did they see you Guy? If so, did they beat it?

    Pushing and Searching

    They kept saying, if it's off the tax rolls, then we wouldn't know. So then, right in front of me as I'm standing there...They called the GREEN ACRES program and asked them if it belongs to them! They said no. I kid you not! If I found out as Mayor, I'd tell them to find out out who the hell...

    I am a HUGE proponent of the public knowing who owns what and where. I wanted to know who owned a 600 acre plot in Bass River Township, and the tax office did not even know! And, they were rude to me, and this was after 2 visits to the tax office and 3 phone calls. And, they pushed me off onto...

    I gambled giving Buddy his freedom, and he enjoyed it. He lived 15 years. I know, it was a risk, but we had some great times together, and he was so fit. He would chase deer for a couple miles.
