    Tyndall Island Hike, Large Scat

    Darn he got me! I gathered all the poo I could muster up and made a heaping mass.... Nah It wasnt fabricated. But I did find a tree/bush way back that had multiple piles of the same poo in smaller quantities. My money is definitely on the coons now. Nice tree to climb/hide. It just makes more...

    Tyndall Island Hike, Large Scat

    Thanks guys that's basically most of the info Im aware of also. Rumor has it there was a large asparagus farm on the islands. In the 1930 map you can see what looks like farm land on all the islands that are now covered in dense trees. I still have yet to see a deer out there but there sure is...

    Burlington Island and Jessup's Grove

    Hey Gench, So two public entities own the island are there signs posted of no trespassing? It would be a waste of land if no one could get out there and enjoy. I already has an itinerary for where to launch and what to do when I got there. As for the wild dogs, probably not true, could be...

    Burlington Island and Jessup's Grove

    Thank you Jerseyman. Very interesting. I hear there is good fishing in that "Lagoon" in the middle. Im wondering if any of the amusments were where the "lagoon" is now. I was under the assumption that the Lake in the middle was always there and the amusments were built around it.

    Hessian Burials

    Well as you all know I am an avid metal detectorist. I would be willing to conduct some small outtings to the area you speak of and bring some detectors for use to search around for a little history. I live only about 5 minutes from the area in the map. Just a thought. :)

    Unearthed War Relics See Battle Again

    I fully agree. We hunted Brandy Rock farm.. all land was farm field. It was amzingly huge. We were briefed the night before about the historical area and who and what was there at the time. It was really interesting seeing photos and research from the very area we were standing on. We found many...
