"Newspaper articles" - 19 Oct 1969 NY Times article on "The Wild and Windswept Plains That Only The NJ 'Pineys' Know"

...that first brought the NJPB to my attention. But I am not allowed to post it on here.

"Wild and windswept plains that only the Jersey 'Pineys' know"

I read this almost fifty years ago, October 1969, and I was intrigued, and then i drove my VW down from Manhattan to see it for myself.

But that link that i posted back then was removed. Does it work for you?

It's a PDF attachment to your post, not a link. I can see it, but maybe that's because I'm a moderator? Looks like this to me - just click the attachment to view the article. It says it's been viewed 185 times, so it must work for somebody!

It must be - I. Herbert Gordon. The beautifully written article was made almost 53 years ago. I think the "sun-drenched two-pump service station", was the place I saw it off in the distance and walked to after I had finally exited the woods and reached a road, after two days, and hiking eight miles including thru a bombing range ("All persons are forbidden to enter") on a tempestuous cloudy and rainy day. I had wanted to buy AA batteries to replace the almost dead ones in my GPS upon which I had marked the bogged down car's location, but the service station was abandoned. It was there that a highway patrolman pulled over and summoned a tow truck for me - and that turned into another bit of adventure! That was in 2000. I recently found the receipt from the tow truck company.
