    Forked River Mountain Annual Cleanup

    Sorry I'm going to miss it...sporting activities and birthday parties for the kids. It was real nice doing the cleanup last year and was so hoping to make it an annual ritual. Guess I blew that on the second year. Be sure to take pics of your FRTM (Forked River Tire Mountain) so we may...

    Get out and vote!!!

    Yeah, I've seen Nader's name before, but who the heck is this McCain character or 'that one', Obama :rolleyes: Just got back from the polls. Didn't take me any longer than usual, which is only a few minutes.

    Where was Davis Grove?

    Guy, If you're not spot on, then I believe you're darn close. Take a look at the USGS Pemberton Quad http://gallery.njpinebarrens.com/showphoto.php/photo/5284 and focus on the road coming from the Ongs Hat area, around what I think are the clearings to the north and then to Burrs Mill. PS...

    Sweetwater Casino on Fire!

    AC Press Story http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/185/story/194588.html Sad indeed. The story mentions a possibility of a lightning strike. Tough to tell right now.

    Whiting Turntable

    I visited that area south of Buckingham a few months back and questioned that cellar hole. Only about 8-10' wide and maybe 20-25' deep, with a fireplace at the end. here's my pic..... Also, did you notice the other foundation on the other side (as in your next pic). IIRC it created a...

    Planned rally at Brendan Byrne 5/17

    No Closings Possible I heard today on NJ101.5 that no cuts are planned and parks are not going to close. It was through a phone conversation with someone connected with a non-profit group (can't remember) and Jennifer Beck. Jen stated to him that 'the state found $9M, and no parks are...

    Forked River Mountain Cleanup

    Glad to hear about the fix. Did not think about the 'neutral' thing, with mine I have to be in neutral to get it IN to low and the same to get it OUT, so I seem to remember to do so. The best fix is the FREE ONE:dance:.

    Whites Bog and Buckingham, 4-19-08

    Ben, did you travel a bit further west to what was a clearing (click over to 1930's aerial)http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.92754281623326&lng=-74.44756507873535&z=17. I want to check that area out, parking at the ruins here...

    Forked River Mountain Cleanup

    Yes, good times and a wonderful cause. Glad I was involved. It was great meeting those of you for the first time (discussions with Yeti and Largo were limited for we went off to different cleanup areas). Hopefully it won't be the last time. Was also nice meeting and working with some of...

    Forked River Mountain Cleanup

    Alright, you folks got me. Unless some unforeseen circumstance comes up, I'll be there. I have a Ford Supercrew, so there will be space for 4 other passengers if we need to get back somewhere with 4WD. German, if you want me to shuttle folks around, I'll do it. Whatever you want. The family...

    Forked River Mountain Cleanup

    Bob, What sort of notice is needed for registration? I'd love to join in, I'm somewhat familiar with the area and have 4WD, but my dilema is one of scheduling. You see, I've promised the family our first camping trip (going to Turkey Swamp) and it will be the weekend of either the 12th or...

    Beer (again)

    Ocean Township, central Jersey, closed down about 2 years ago. Lunacy Ale would have been one for Bob to try. Bob, why not look at the micro pilsners? Sunshine Pils from Troeggs in Harrisburg would be one to taste, though it may be a bit hoppy for your liking.

    Delaware & Atlantic Canal ???

    Looking over a map stamped by the USGS in 1887 "Exhibiting the Post Offices, Post Roads, Canals, Rail Roads, & c.". No mention of an actual date prepared. Interesting map...not sure if others have come across it. One obvious thing on it is the placement of a Delaware & Atlantic Canal. Anyone...
