Me and my friend started off the day by first traveling to Lebanon, the forest, not the country, all these pics were taken on 10/7. We found this marker in Lebanon inscribed with letters that i do not know what they mean.

A cellar hole next to the marker. Notice the trashed whiskey bottle in it.

Then we went on to do some more exploring at the glassworks site. A pic of the mound covering the hearth.

It was now time to go to Brooksbrae. Upon entering the site we saw a car that was parked at the ruins, an orange paintball game was in progress.

Four wheelers at play. In this pic the two trucks fully in view were stuck, off to the left just seen behind the trees is the truck that got these two guys out of trouble numerous times.

Deciding to call it a day we then wanted to go over our friends house in Tabernacle for some cold refreshment, taking Forked Neck Road i took this pic.

Arriving in Tabernacle i took this pic of the Friendship School which was moved from Friendship on Carranza and Speedwell Road to it's present location on Carranza Road in Tabernacle.

Then on to our friend's house and while there, we were saying that we wish that the day was longer so we could spend more time exploring the pines.

Great pictures, James! That image of the four wheelers playing in the water looks like Old Halfway. If it was, I hope they stayed stuck long enough for the rangers to find them, since the whole area is posted off-limits to motor vehicles.

There's various graphitti about Guy and myself around the Pines.

If you see any let us know. Ben and I have visited a few of them :)

James, the lettering on that is NJ. You can see it better in a side view.

There are other characters on it but I did not look it over closely when I was there in 2004,

Thanks everyone for the kind words, i just got on my daughter's computer.

Ben, Guy, and whoever, i will inform you'se and everone else if i ever see any more of the graffitti bs, i do not go at all for this kind of crap, it isn't my name but i get upset just as well.

I will post this, but the Pine Barrens pics and history will now take a backseat to a more important issue that has the utmost priority, Scott's Mom, i will make a post now on his thread.
