Martha’s Furnace Proposed Pedestrian Bridge http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/dpmc/sow/FINAL%20SOW/P1050-00%20Marthas%20Furnace%20Pedestrian%20Bridge,%20Wharton%20State%20Park,%20Bass%20River%20Township.pdf I heard about this through other channels but since I found this on the internet I...

That is the same line. The trail of marbles went down to Winslow then back up to Berlin to the Owens Corning plant, for fiberglass, on the west side of Rt. 73. Freight service stopped when Amtrak / NJ Transit took the line over in the late 80's. Roy

Trio of burglars arrested; implicated in 42 break-ins Good news for everyone in the area. Hopefully the people who have been hit can get some of their stuff back. Link

Interesting report. Maybe the slag came from Hampton Furnace and used for road construction as Mark mentioned? Roy

It looks like they have a survival class but what gets me is they say you learn how to make a shelter and a few lines later they say camping or a hotel is available. Is Bear Grylls teaching this:cry:? For that money I’d like to live survival 24/7. Roy...

Hello Everyone, When I first saw this thread a couple of weeks ago I asked my mother if she knew anything about it. She said she didn’t know the history of the place but added they had cheap prices and a lot of dirt in the tank :jeffd:. One thing I noticed about the picture is it looks...

You’re correct; they should be placed where the right-of-way changes direction such as the beginning and ending of curves.

That sounds like a right-of-way monument. That dimple or punch mark in the metal is most likely the point they were marking. Sometimes they punch an X to make it stand out. Roy

I agree. I was thinking maybe it’s for liability reasons. Roy

I’ll have to walk down the trail next time I’m in the area. No more bush whacking for me until the next frost :(.

Hello Everyone, I was driving down Quaker Bridge Road this evening and notices some ribbon hanging from a tree. Then I happen to notice a sign back in the woods 50 to 100 feet with big red lettering. I was surprised to see it said Posted:siren:. Maybe it’s a remaining lot from the...

I would have been interested but were having our carpets cleaned, no woods for me :cry:. Thanks for asking. Roy

I wonder where they came up with 832 feet? I guess I’d be safe at 833 feet but not at 831 feet, good information to know!:)

I believe they were just cutting the small pine trees back so cars don't get pinstriped. They did the same thing from Friendship to Hawkins Bridge a year or so ago. Of course if they would cut the grass / weeds once a year, they wouldn't have to make such a mess. Roy

Hello All, Thanks for the replies. I was thinking Pine snakes had larger diamonds that run together, I had a picture but can’t find it. Don’t worry Guy, I wasn’t going to give any details for the reasons watchingtrainsgoby mentioned. Roy

Hello Everyone, I was hiking near Bass River today and came cross this snake, it's about four feet long. I've never seen snake like this before and hope someone can identify it for me. Thanks, Roy

Sorry, didn't see other post. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070508/ts_nm/usa_plot_army_dc_3 I remember when Ft. Dix was an open base and you could drive almost anywhere. Times have changed. Roy

It’s interesting that he also has two books listed on protecting the Pinelands. I guess he never read them? :mad:

I thought that there may have been two dams at different times for the same mill. Guy’s first picture may be of the first dam (which shows up on some of the older maps as a pond). There appears to be a second dam at the up stream end of the canal or race that is visible during low water. Maybe...

Hello, My friends and I in the 70’s & early 80’s used the one that was extended to get to the other side of the highway. There was a 12 inch or so water main in the tunnel that we walked on sometimes so our feet wouldn’t get wet. I believe it was removed when they extended the tunnel...
