    Post Your Old Car Finds Here

    I bet there's an old VW "Fastback" that's still bogged down in the sand on some obscure side road in the Plains and I know how it got there too, because I bumped into the guy who bogged it there - oh I dunno maybe forty years ago, something like that.

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    But green VW's are good. That great VW "Super Beetle" i mentioned above was dark green. Good camouflage in the NJPB.

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    I bought a used VW Beetle once and it had over 300,000 miles on it when I finally gave it away, and most of that was NYC driving too. It still ran like new but rust destroyed it. I never changed the trans. oil and the trans. was like new. I never changed the engine oil either, just replaced the...

    Pine Barren History Shorts

    Yep, plus they were lightweight and narrow and had good ground clearance, plus I cld dip a rag in the gas tank to get some gasoline to put on ticks (u can't do that with the new cars) to make them back out, tho they then said, "Don't do dat!",

    Pine Barren History Shorts

    My 1957 rear wheel drive VW Beetle went through those narrow sandy Pine Barrens roads great. I think this one in the (1971) picture was a '61, but I did have a '57 VW briefly too. I had a few of them. I'm forgetting which was which now. My last one was a 1968 Super Beetle that I bought used...

    Raised trail?

    I used to go on century rides - 100 mile bicycle rides - starting in - I forgot the name of that nice town in central NJ - and going into PA. Once I went up a long hill, as I recall, to a town named Zion in NJ. I felt like I had entered the Twilight Zone. I saw robotic people walking stiffly...

    Raised trail?

    Pineland-P, Pine Branch C is hard to find, I'm in a bind It slips my mind. It seems to be situated by a hamlet called "Blackwood Ter", which must stand for Terrace, I guess, but u never know in New Jersey. It's not like we're talking about a civilized place. They actually play golf in New...

    Raised trail?

    Seriously though, it makes me happy to know that deep within the Pine Barrens it still remains the same. Below - Pine Branch Creek 22 Sep 1971. pinelandpaddler - I too used to be a pineland paddler. Unfortunately I can't figure out a way to make that rhyme with green ham. If I could I would...

    Raised trail?

    Can you find that exact place again? If I'm wrong - but I'm never wrong - the last time they thought I was wrong was in 1861 but it turned out I was right and they were wrong! - but if I'm wrong, I'll throw my hat up in a tree - or mail u my hat to throw up for me - and ever after the place...

    Raised trail?

    It's not a tree Why can't you see? It's not green ham It's not a damn It's not ice cream It's just a stream! It could use some additional pixels.

    Raised trail?

    This is much ado about nothing I guess, but here is the "shadow" enlarged. The texture of the so-called shadow looks like water with little wavelets compared to the adjoining "mud". Different surface. Also, judging by the sunlight and shadows on the leaves and branches it seems to be midday...

    Raised trail?

    Yes, Bobpbx, that's what I'm speaking of, what u r calling a shadow, except your encircled area goes too high. What looks like a stream of water gets lost in the grass around and above that horizontal branch. "You can still see the water behind the shadow." Don't know what u mean by "behind...

    Raised trail?

    No, I don't think it is something solid like a tree or pipe, or a camera artifact, or a shadow. It looks like water to me, a small trench, most likely a stream. The rest of what looks like a wide stream may be mud - or maybe it's an underground pipe related to that raised trail. If I wasn't...

    Raised trail?

    The shadow of what? I don't see anything there to cast that long shadow. Also, It looks like it was mid-day with the sun coming from high overhead. Also, I think there's more vegetation in the dark place than the light. I think it's a trench.
