That "Appollonia" stop on the RR north of Zeb's Bridge on the Kobbe map above interests me as well. Never heard of that before, aside from a Prince band member. Can anyone shed any light on that one?

On the Rutgers Historical 1906 South Jersey map there is a place called Zeb's Bridge between Giberson's Mill and Dover Forge on what seems like the Davenport Branch. I searched for Zeb's Bridge on here and got no hits but I seem to recall it being mentioned on a Crossley thread. Can anyone...

Did I miss the reveal for post #2131? That looks like a really nice spot.

Love the Tivoli Gardens Europe '72 stuff...plus my Mom was born and raised around 40 kilometers from there. Probably one of my favorite dead eras.

Has anyone gone to any of the re-enactments here held in December like the article states? Would love to see some photos. The revolutionary timeframe in the pine barrens is of great interest to me. I also studied NJ History in about the Fourth Grade and vividly remember the parts on Captain...

I grew up in Howell and my family moved out in1978 for Toms River. I went to school with a couple of Dennis brothers and once recall seeing a list of students from the old Oak Glen School that had more than a few Woolleys. Of course there is Woolley's Fish Market on route 9.

Nice photos M1 Abrams.

I always thought that the reason beer was safer to drink than water back in the day was because they boiled the wort which resulted in sterilization.

Yes, exactly like that. https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/40.003163/-74.172435/lidar2021hd/0.00/0.00

I have a question about the blue dotted lines on the Lidar maps. My assumption are that they are waterways/streams that are seasonal in nature. Am i correct in this?

It was late in the evening. Probably closer to around 17-18 Genny's.

This is exactly where I land on this. I grew up in the southern area of Howell Township and in grade school we had families who we referred to as hicks or pineys. "Them piney Dennis brothers live on a boat up on stilts back in the woods surrounded by big dogs everywhere." We could get neither...

This is sad to read. I am always saddened when history is removed in the name of progress. Was really hoping someone had gotten a few picks of that rolling stock. Remember skipping school back in the to pleasure ride around Upper Freehold Township and was blown away that a rail line existed...

One time while camping along the Delaware up near Barryville after one or twelve brews, I fell in to the campfire. My fellow campers referred to me by my new "Indian" name for the rest of the trip: Firestumbler.

Another thread I loved. Down here in Florida it is said that the appearance of some Roseate Spoonbills is a sign of a flourishing ecosystem in the area. I would think that could apply to turkey populations in the Pinelands. Should really be our National bird instead of the eagle as Franklin...

I just loved this thread. Outstanding photography. Thank you.

One of the feeders of Kettle Creek is named Tar Kiln

I grew up on North Bay Ave off of Church Road.

I have to say that this is one of my all time favorite threads so far on here. Thank you for bringing the magic of a pine barrens night in to my own back patio.
