Brendan Byrne State Forest on Saturday

[Jon Holcombe]

Before sunset, sunset, and 20 minutes after sunset. It occurred to me while standing there listening to the wind, the water, and the quiet, in the forest named for the former governor, this could easily have been part of a "lake-front" sub-division. Thanks Brendan.

His ashes lie in state at Healey's Tavern this past Friday.

Thanks John. Are you visiting or living in Hawaii? I am not sure I would be homesick for the forests of NJ if I were in Hawaii at the moment.

Aloha Jon, Have been living in Hawaii since 84 right next to Pearl Harbor. I grew up in Pemberton Boro and my brothers and I used to wander the woods between Pemberton and Birmingham. Some of my favorite memories are paddling up and down the Rancocas creek between New Lisbon and Mt Holly. It was.the late 70s when I discovered Whitesbog and spent some time exploring the trails and cranberry bogs. It was great place and time to grow up. The photos from this website and in particular yours always bring back fond memories and I thank you and everyone else for sharing!

Your answer reminded me that I have been meaning to explore the Rancocas Creek for some time. I am trying to imagine leaving Jersey for Hawaii for the past 34 years but I guess I am too much of a homeboy to wrap my head around it. So, you enjoy paradise and I will keep wandering around South Jersey. If you see Todd Rundgren or Jesse Colin Young walking on Lanikai Beach say hello John.

Jesse Colin Young! I haven't heard that name in a long time. Does Johnathan Edwards, or Danny O'keefe, or perhaps Murray Mclauchlan hang around thereabouts?

 

[Jon Holcombe]

Uh-oh, you mentioned one of my all time favorites, Danny O'keefe. Ever heard the American Roulette album? I will have to check out Murray Mclauchlan, never heard of him.

 

[bobpbx]

That sounds nice Jon, have not heard that one. I have two albums, "So long Harry Truman", and this one. He does this song really well.

Murray is a Canadian. You may recognize this song.
