Started out Sunday with my friend George basically on a driving tour in the Whiting Bamber area, stopping first of what i think was the location of the old turntable in Whiting, please correct me if i am wrong. Here are two pics of the presumed site.

A different view of the intersection.

I have an opinion on these two pics and i will say that if i am at the correct intersection where the turntable was, and if in these last two pics that the pics are showing the remains of the turntable or not, that this should have not happened especially for a road extension, this turntable in my opinion either only partially still in existence was historic, so as they say another one bites the dust to progress.

We then traveled to Bamber Lake, which i consider one of the most scenic in the pines, taking the following three pics of the lake, in the first pic notice the tower in the upper middle of the photo at a distance.

A second pic showing part of the spillway to the Cedar Creek.

The third and final pic of the lake, notice the footbridge in the left hand side of the photo which goes to the other side of the lake.

Leaving the site it was a short trip down Good Luck Road to Dover Road arriving at Carusoville, taking this first pic, notice the curbing.

Took this pic from Dover Road looking down to Carusoville, notice the jeep way down the road, plenty of jeeps were back in the woods in this area

Leaving the area we went back to Lacey Road to take this pic of the Cedar Creek with the pilings of the Old Tuckerton Railroad in view.

Thanks people, sorry i am just replying now, but i have limited time on my daughter's computer.

The Bamber are to me is definitely underexplored., i canoe, pm if you have a question on the area, but if you want 100% correct advice on something, i would pm BobPBX, who is the expert on this area.

Time for part two of the trip report, sorry i could not finish it earlier in the week, but an emergency arose.
