HI - During a trail ride off of Route 72, in Chatsworth I believe, I can across a fairly large brick foundation. Approximately 100 yards from the foundation, along the ground and scattered throughout, I located alot of broken china plates, glasses, silverware and clam shells. I was wondering if anyone knew what this area and foundation was?

The area was about 0.5 miles east of the railroad bridge on Route 72. And about 0.5 miles south down a trail.

Any help would be great. Thank You.

George, there is a long link about that somewhere on here. I used to call it the pig farm. My buddy tried to grow pot there back in the 70's. It really didn't work well.

I was looking for the old thread about it too. I seem to remember it being described as a pig farm that accepted refuse from a fancy hotel somewhere, perhaps LBI, and fed it to their pigs, broken plates and all.

There are various threads concnerning this and some of them are so old the photo's are missing. So here is the most important info from them.

First, my photo from 1978 and a few years ago.

And the most important info which Bob supplied. I am sure he is correct with his theory.


Guy,

I'm almost positive the big building and holes are an abandonded pig farm. When I was in my teens, a friend and I grew a couple rare (to this area) plants on the sides of one of the holes. We would hitchike down from Presidential Lakes and check on them once in a while. I stopped going after a while since I was getting paranoid, he did the harvest and smoked the benefits 8)

I have a theory about the bottles and china. Suppose where the guy picked up the slop for the pigs was a restaurant. The owner said, "say, take my garbage too!"

It must have been really good stuff, it made him paranoid without even smoking it!

Ha! Back in the 70's, nothing scared me more than the man in the NJ state trooper car with the gold and blue bands on the side. There was something about those crisp uniforms, perfect haircuts, and stoic demeanor. We were all crazy, drinking, smoking, listening to led zep and the dead, etc, and they were perfectly straight, ready to snatch you back to reality.

..."Sir, please step out of the car"...

I hope they are the same today. I'm sure some of you get what I mean here.

Route 72 down by the railroad trestle always had a trooper hanging around, ready to pounce.

Ha! Good one guy.

Yup, just look at them. That is a woman too. I really do admire them. I have confidence that the majority of them are honest and forthright.

By the way, see that hill right there to the right of them? Every time I think of the crazy things we do when we were young, I think of the time I rode my old enduro motorcycle to that spot all the way from Presidential Lakes in 1973 or 1974....in the winter, with about 6 inches of snow on the ground. When I got to that hill (actually the steeper duplicate hill on the other side of the bridge), I slid down it sideways, but a small bump at the bottom actually caused my bike to right itself! It was a cool moment. Here is the bike:

In my experience Troopers are much more honest and uncorrupted then the small town cops.I know from personal experience Millville has a few crooks and punks on the force.Have never been treated bad by a trooper,maybe a little suspicious but never disrespectful like the local punks around here.

I moved up to a YZ 400 which was a big improvement.

I'll say!

First I moved up to a 125 Combat Wombat, then the 200 Suzuki. Do you still have the YZ? Bring it out. Chris and I put those Kouba links on that 400 I bought, and here it is with the new seat. Lowering it worked like a champ.

My first bike, 1976 DT-400:

http://interestingmotorcycles.co.uk/images/1975-Yamaha-DT400B-Yellow-2800-0.jpg

Bought new at Donz Yamaha in Mt. Ephraim in late 1976 for just under a grand !

Snapped the shifter off, broke the weld on the left peg, bent the handlebars and bent the shift shaft inside the transmission while riding (falling) over a frozen water hole that was covered in snow.
I hate when that happens.

That's a nice one. I'll bet that one had some torque.
