Here we go. Lets see how fast someone can identify this tower and it's location. I found it, but have no idea of its history. Does anyone have any info?

happened to find this place on a road I've never traveled before. I thought it was just a hike around park not something like Batsto. Beautiful weather blessed this visit. I even got to tour the mansion and not just the first floor, but the whole building. They will be showing live...

What ever happened to it? The sign is gone and now replaced with one saying something like state or township park. To much traffic and I never get to slow down and properly read the sign. Anyway, looks like the Indian event is long gone. Is that so, what is going on there?

Hope this works, first time using an attachment. Here is my mother, Margaret Bakely's oil painting of the hotel. The asking price is $125.00 I will be moving out of state in the summer and have to part with. Just have too much stuff to take with me. Have a saw blade and other paintings for sale...

I have been looking for a good spot for my husband to go fishing. I recently moved to Browns Mills and thought there would be alot of places, but no. All the Mirror Lakes are posted private, one lake I found in Whiting was a park like setting with a beach. What about Bamber Lake. I really didn't...

What happened to the Indian Reservation? A sign now reads Rancocus State Park. I'm not sure but I think the Indian Festival didn't even occur this years. I thought the land was theirs? Sue

Is there any way of going into your computer/printer to see the history of what has been previously printed? I have a HP printer.

Over the years Easter hasn't been one of my favorite days. I don't know why, but different things upsettig always seem to occur on Easter. This year is no different. They say, death comes in threes, and once again it has proven true. Earlier this week I learned of two deaths of people I knew...

Though this is not about the pinelands...I did hit the big one before my Friendship book ever got published. In this week's Hammonton Gazette and Hammonton News there are several articles on Innova Health and Rehab. My first pubication supporting my employer Innova is contained within. As the...

Anyone having trouble with Windows Internet Explorer trying to have you download a protection program for $$ ? I went to a site where I caught this bug and now it won't stop popping up windows asking me to buy their protection product. I already have an active updated Norton that says my...

Going down the Beverly Rancocus Rd at the intersection of Bridge St, I noticed old brick houses to the right. I asked my husband what was down the road. He said, "an old historic town". With interest peaked, I asked him to drive me through. To my surprise, it is called Rancocus Village, nothing...

I heard from Plexus today regarding my book on Friendship. They said due to the economy they have to decline my book. Personally, I feel they didn't even look at it. It has sat at their company since September. I had to email them several times just to get a response. They suggested self...

Here are two books that are as close to the piney lifestyle as you are going to get. Author is Carolyn Chute, "Letourneau's Used Auto Parts" and "The Beans of Egypt, Maine". This is exactly the types of scenes I grew up in and know as piney life. No way this author made this up, therefore...

Today I went to the indian festival in Westampton, it was the first time I have been there in about 15 years. Needless to say, it has changed significantly. Alot of the merchants little buildings were empty. Most everything looked cheap compared to what I remember. Most jewery was imported and...

Did anyone read about the green burial held in Estelle Manor? I didn't know one could refuse embalming and still be buried. Sounds like some interesting options here. Curious to what others think on this topic. www.pressofatlanticCity.com

Soon to be another forgotten place of the pines, George's Used Auto Parts of Dutchtown. Sadly, this piney passed on suddenly. Now he is on his way to piney heaven. This occured about a week ago. I knew him my entire life and what a character he was! He will surely be missed by many. I look to...

I went to Friendship yesterday the first time since the beginning of last summer. To my horror I found the terrain permantly destoryed. All the rye grass has been burned similar to Batsto. Mowers were then used even in some of the foundation holes causing some leveling. Foundation stone (alot)...

Someone told me a story of helicopters that fly over the pinelands and use sonars to locate where the soil has been disturbed. Thus if anyone decides to bury a body someone else will know exactly where to go. I have never heard of this and it surely sounds far fetched to me. Does anyone know of...

All my years in the pines, I have never seen deer swim across a body of water. But today I went hiking the Amico State Park in Riverside, NJ. On the way home riding on a road which runs next to the creek, I seen a herd of deer running about over on Hawk Island in Delanco. Stopping the car, to my...
