    Happenings in the Pines

    Bob. I think he is just resting in some brembels sunning himself. As for that material, it could be an old RR tie, a piece of concrete. or other. If walking down the tracks coming from Riders Switch, it's right on the right before the bridge over the Batsto R. Go take a look and report back...

    Happenings in the Pines

    When I first observed this living thing, he came out from the near bank of a stream (Batsto R) swimming on the surface of the water in the manner of a very small snake. He came to rest on a leaf laying on the surface of the water. It wasn't until I took a photo in zoom mode, that I noticed it...

    Happenings in the Pines

    The next 10. One cranberry. I just like that picture. Very simple. It was off of Cherry Hill Rd. I found this frog in a big mess in a small swampy area. I guess he likes it. I caught this pickerel in my favorite fishing hole. You have to fish early in the season before the water gets...

    Happenings in the Pines

    I started roaming the Pines in 2009. Over the years I had accumulated many photos along the way. Recently, I weeded out many. Here are a few archive photos showing my past experiences of 'what's going on' in those woods. (Stay tune; I got another set of 10 coming soon.) An outlet from an...

    Theater?

    Bob. There are actually two old theaters. In the upper half of the map is the old Atco Drive-in Theater. It opened in 1955 and closed in 1989. The area with the large parking lot was the old Atco Muliplex Cinemas. It opened in 1991 and closed in 2009. The Atco Drive-in closed because it's...

    Where is this?

    My guess to Post #892. It's the old Thompson-Wright property which owned the Birches Cranberry Company, A chance that this may be a exact spot. https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.88666678207866&lng=-74.65466279190062&z=16&type=hybrid&gpx=

    What is this

    My guess is a 1942 Ford Sedan based on the grille. Black license plates went from 1941 to 1944, then 1949, 51, 52 and 53.

    Fish Hook In Leg

    Here's my fishing story. About five years ago while fiahing in Oantario Canada, up above Minnesota, I got a fish hook stuck in the area of my thumb as I was taking off a small northen pike by a small double treble hook hardbait. Not too often do I catch a fish by the forward hook. The way I...

    Sunset at the Manasquan River Wildlife Management Area

    Boyd; it appears you are correct. At first I thought this was the spot, just a little south of your marker. The river does go thru Turkey Swamp WMA. https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=40.20334080560246&lng=-74.34429350061247&z=20&type=hybrid&gpx=

    I have no words.

    I've been down that road that leads to the bog with water, a good number of times, but not in recent years. There's always been trash at the foot of the road, and big stuff too. That should be a well-known dumping ground.

    Piney Bridges

    Several years back, while looking over a Topo Map of an area I was planning to explore, I noticed a double dash line road that scaled down to a single dash line path just short of a stream. At that point, you would need knee-high rubber boots to get across. The remnant of the bridge is now...

    Piney Bridges

    While exploring the Pines for the past 12 years, I have discovered many handmade bridges, or remnants of, that takes you across streams, tributaries, canals, and in swamps. In almost all cases, bushwhacking was required to find them. Here's 5 bridges that cross streams that are labeled on NJPB...
