And if we really have time, just a very short distance from our meeting point is a old geodetic marker with reference markers on the top of a hill.

Sure, and if we have time and its relatively close I'd like to see Paint Island Spring.

Where is that on Topozone so I can put it into my GPS?

You and I searched for that last year and couldn't find it.


We most likely will have tons of other things to do anyway.

Are we bringing a lunch?

Guy

We can do one of three things.

1) Bring a lunch
2) Stop at the General Store next to the Cassville Tavern and buy deli lunch.
3) Stop at the Cassville Tavern for some burgers, etc. Supposedly their food is REALLY good.

I vote for bringing a lunch or the deli. Stopping at a Tavern takes up too much time. And I don't particularly want to go there with Jessica, unless it has a restaurant area. But whatever you agree with, I will be fine with that.

We have decided here to pack our lunch. If you all want to go to the deli or the Tavern, that is fine by us.

It was a great day, and it was nice to see Jim show up.

Here is the photo of the rides at Great Adventure from a hill we visited.

Another view of the bog.

The pulley we found that was used to pull something up the hill.

And two photo's of the Aspen tree.

And thanks for all of your help in finding marker 39.63 of the Lawrence line. Especially you Bob. Since the coordinates are off by quite a bit on the report, I wanted to find this one and set the record straight.

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/islandtee/10312004/IMG_4491.jpg

And here is another view of our motley crew.

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/islandtee/10312004/IMG_4504.jpg

And Ben I really appreciate the hand out pamphlet you gave us, which I kept in my car for safe keeping. That is why I did not have it when you asked. I did not want to damage or drop it as I ALWAYS do with maps when I hike.

Anyone who did not answer Bob's call, missed out on a fun day.

And Steve I can't help you out on how to do it on a Windows computer, but I can tell you that the more you use your computer, the more chance you have of overwriting those files. Keep your use down to a minimum, or you may never see them again. In fact you loading the photo's in may have already caused that to happen somewhat.

I had a great day today. That is until I got home and realized that I had accidently deleted most of the files in my Documents folder yesterday while trying to delete something else. :bang:

You can view some of the pix I took today here:
http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=246

PS. Anyone know if I can recover deleted files without paying $100.00 for software to do it?

This may be a stupid question, but did you check the trash/recycle bin on your desktop?
