I left home at 9:00 this morning with quite a few places to visit on my agenda. The air in my car was on full blast, it was hot and humid, i brought a lot of water knowing even though i can only go on very short walks, that it may become overbearing. My first stop was on Chatsworth-Pasadena Road to view another Geodetic Marker. After a few minutes of scraping the ground i viewed the following Marker.
After covering back up the marker, i got back in my car, drank some ice water,
it was then on to Greenwood Forest to visit a place i have not been to for way over a year, the Atkerson Graves. Here is the first pic.
Then a second shot of the grave site.
Then backtracking i decided to revisit the Van Note Camp, on the way i took this pic of the site of the Wheatland Manufacturing Company, first called the Townsend Clay Manufacturing Company established in 1866. This site is on private property.
Then on to the Van Note Camp to retake a pic that i wanted to show everyone from my first visit there. Here is the pic.
I got back in the car , consumed another pint of water, then it was on to the Batsto-Washington Turnpike, i wanted to view a property stone there, but while existing the car, i noticed on the trail a White SUV blocking the road sideways, further investigating i noticed the driver side window was spider webbed with a hole in the middle of the window, going back to my car with the intent of informing the Rangers at Batsto, another White truck was pulling into the small road with a man and a woman in it, i inquired if they knew who owned the truck and lo and behold the woman got hysterical, it was her stolen truck. I told them my intent of going to Batsto, but they thanked me and she got immediately got on her cell to call her lawyer.
Leaving the area i then went to the Batsto Fire Tower taking another marker pic. Here is the pic.
I then got on Bulltown Road and on the way i took the following pic of this abandoned house.
I then had one last place to visit the site of the Bulltown Glassworks, turning left past Bel Haven Lake off of Rt.542, i went with my car as far as i could go on the road, i still had a tenth of a mile to go to the site, exiting the car, i viewed this on the way.
Arriving at the Glassworks site, i took the following two pics. Here is the first pic of the site.
I did find some old bricks there but no glass slag. The second pic.
Walking back to my car i wanted to view the stone i saw a little closer up,i cannot make out the letters on it.
Arriving back at my car, i took this pic of this foundation.
I got back in my car consumed some more water, then decided to head home, on the way i noticed three people getting out of a van parked at the entrance to the Hermann Glassworks site, i proceeded on, i was hot, tired, and reeked of permanone and Deet, i did stop briefly at my friend's house in Tabernacle for some cold Buds. What a hot, humid day in the Pine Barrens.
