Went to Herman City Glass Works on an extremely low tide. Wanted to see the old boat hull remains and some old bottles in the water. The Mullica was super so low but still so murkey. My son decide to walk out on the mud flat along the waters edge. We did find one bottle which was not broken but...

Went and checked out Etna Furnace as it was on my list of places to visit. The road back was super muddy and riddled with puddles. I checked out the mound where the furnace was. Managed to see a cellar hole and some bricks. I heard you could see the old spillway/dam and the cellar hole for the...

Opening day of 6 day firearm starts tomorrow. Wear your safety orange if you plan on going in the woods.

Was driving down Savoy/Passadena road on Sunday. I was talking to my son about a small lake/pond over by Bullock. To my amazement it was completely dry. I have to admit I did not get around the pines much this summer due to a home renovation project. We got out and walked the entire outside...

Put in today at Lake Oswego and kayaked to Harrisville Pond. It was an extra special day, as I got to kayak and my steps in too. Although there was water going over the spill way at Harrisville and Oswego. The first 1/2 mile was pretty low with lots of sand bars. Almost no different then when...

I know many people on here are great at reading surveys and determining property corners. Perhaps you can help me to determine where they are on my property. I purchased a home with 13.2 acres back in July. The person who lived there had owned it since 1975. Before the closing I asked for the...

Put in at Evans Bridge. Water levels were down at least 8-12 inches. Last time (3 weeks ago) I went from Hawkins to Godfrey it was low and we had to walk/drag the kayaks for quite awhile. Our dog literally ran down the river for most of that trip.Today there were many exposed sand bars on most...

Took a nice kayak trip with the wife and kids today. On the way to Hawkins bridge there were maybe 10 cars in the Harrisville lake parking lot. When I got to Godfrey bridge the place was like a ghost town. Wading Pines was busy but there was hardly anyone in or near the water. Put in at Hawkins...

Looks like a plane. I guess it was under the satellite when it took the picture? https://boydsmaps.com/#20.00/39.997645/-74.310436/hereHybrid/0.00/0.00

Took the family out for a nice jaunt in the pines. Dover road has been graded and you can drive from Lacey Rd. to 539 without going through a giant mud hole or puddle. The grass at Eureka or Blacks Bridge is super tall. When you drive thru it is almost like you are driving in a gorge or ravine...

I was killing some time in south jersey last week and drove over to check out the Hancock House and Alloways Creek bridge in Salem County. When I was leaving I saw a sign for a short trail to a viewing platform close to the Delaware. When I walked out, you could tell the area was clearly used as...

Was out yesterday and came home with ticks on me. First ones for the season and I have been walking in brush most weekends.

Had to travel with the family to Cumberland County today. Instead of going shopping. I decided to kill some time checking out Fries Mill. There were freshly posted WMA signs and a red colored sign in the middle of the tracks right before the train would need to cross the Manumuskim River. Does...

Had some time to kill today before meeting someone in Tabernacle near Butterworth Bogs Rd. Took a ride with my son over towards Apple Pie Hill and down to Harris Station. Tried to look for the train door going south on the track towards Caranza. To be honest I did not check the forum first for a...

There was a article on the Tuckerton Speedway in the local paper "Mailbag" this Friday. I did not copy as I dont think its allowed. It talked about how it was started and why it ended so quickly.

Had some time to kill yesterday in Medford. Decided to drive past Chairville cemetery and drive up Sandtown Rd and past Kirbys Mill and finally to check on the progress at the Dr. Stills historic site. I went to pull in front of the cemetery but now it is all fenced in with a black metal fence...

As a kid growing up in Forked River, I heard people talk about how the military stored ammunition in the pines. People talked about bunkers and buildings. I heard they were near the railroad bed. Not too long ago they burned the area between the mountain and the railroad bed. There are now 3...

I came across this picture while doing some research on another house in Lacey Township. It is titled "Pleasure club of land development project, Ocean County, New Jersey" Does anyone know what or where this was in Ocean County? It is dated 1938 https://www.loc.gov/resource/fsa.8a22508/

Was out in Manchester yesterday back by Wrangle Brook. Decided, I would just take a quick ride over to Crystal Lake to show my kids what is there. I was a little skeptical of going because I know Manchester Police go there quite often and I did not want a trespassing ticket. When I came out of...

Kayaked down the Wading from Hawkins to Godfrey with the kids yesterday. I realize it was a week day, but we only saw 7 other people total on the water or hanging out. Wading Pines campground was pretty sparse and quiet There were only a few people relaxing near Godfrey bridge and nobody at...
