All,
It has been an interesting ride over the last 4 years here, and I have enjoyed almost every minute of it getting to 5000 posts.
I was looking through my records and it will be 4 years tomorrow that I met Bob (bobpbx) and Ed (edcampbell) for the first time. I had met Ben before. Here is Bob's invitation to the outing where that occured. It's been a blast!
Guy
On Saturday, October 19th, Guy and Bob are making a whirlwind tour of
all their old stomping grounds from their major exploring days in the
1970's. All are welcome to tag along.
This is not a ghost town or cemetery tour, but a celebration of sorts
of our genuine Pine Barrens landscape, beginning with Oswego Lake, on
to the pine plains, and up through Bob's backyard; the Forked River
Mountain and Greenwood Forest area.
The major stopping points planned (time permitting) are:
1.) Oswego Lake meeting point
2.) Bear Swamp Hill
3.) Plains Branch (just a little stop at a creek)
4.) Broom Crowberry by FAA tower
5.) Back-track on 539 to a good view of the plains (off the road
leading to bombing range).
6.) Forked River Mountain with a side trip to Guy's camp.
7.) Aserdaten Area
8.) Chamberlin Branch gun camp
9.) Webb's Mill Bog and the rye fields
10.) Bamber Bridge
11.) Dover Forge
12.) Ten Mile Hollow
We will meet at 9:30 PM at Oswego Lake (directions below). You can
either bring your own lunch, but we will stop at Lucille's in Warren
Grove where you can pick up a sandwich and drink. We plan to eat in
the pines somewhere.
Directions to Oswego Lake:
>From the South:
Head on 542 East into Green Bank, and pick up 563 North. Continue for
about 7 miles until you see a road on your right with a street sign
saying Lake Oswego Road. This is between mile markers 31 and 32. Turn
right and follow that road for about 3 miles, cross the bridge and
pull
into the parking area on the right.
>From Chatsworth:
Head South on 563 about 8 miles until you see a street sign saying
Lake
Oswego Road on your left. This is between mile marker 31 and 32.
Turn
left and follow that road for about 3 miles, cross the bridge and
pull
into the parking area on the right.
We will be mostly traveling on dirt roads. If you have a vehicle you
don't mind getting dusty, bring that and share if you can.

I wonder if anyone actually was there at that time
