Question about the Shaler Grave

Not only is it too new to have anything to do with the grave, it's too small to be stables.
Other than that, I don't know.

I dream of catching a spray-paint vandalizer in the act and giving him an enormous wedgie and smacking him on the back of the head at the same time.
I'm still really upset about what happened there. The guy who lived there just a few years ago was nice; even let my friend poke around and take a few pictures. Not sure what happened to him.
Ok, that gets me pissed.
Back when I was younger, and in to the things that WNJ would write about, I would have never dreamed of taking a can of spraypaint with me. What makes people want to break stuff and spray graphitti all over?
It's just like Ace Campground. Three years ago it was pristine. Now it's been raided and there's graphitti on some of the buildings.
It's because of people like this that the things that we go out to see in the Pines will be gone in 20 years. People are much, much, much less considerate than they were in previous years.

Yeah it stinks about all the graffitti. I can tell you having lived about a mile from the shaler grave that I think alot of it has to do with the people who have moved into the area over the past few years. I watched my neigborhood go from a nice middle class area with friendly people to a place I wouldn't want my kids to go out and play around. The only thing that saved us longer than many of the other streets was the guy in the Pagens down the street who threatened to kill the drug dealers when they would come around. After he left everything quickly went down hill.
The spraypaint is obviously from the stories attached to the place.....supposed to have been a 'satanic church', which anyone with an IQ of 15 would have known was not true. I guess after the old man left, kids decided since it wasn't one, they'd make it look like one.
On the same topic, here's a pic from Mt. Misery about 2 months ago.....
*sigh*
I have to agree with Bruset on this one; I never had the urge to go somewhere and wreck it. I've always been interested in out of the way and little known places, and I simply can't understand the mentality of people who ruin them.

That is the South Branch of the Mount Misery Brook. Ben has posted a photo of it before. It is an interesting stream and it has some nice swamps to explore in.

That's not the grave that's been broken, is it? I don''t remember if it was inside a cinder block shelter like that. There is a res development going up near the Yellow Meeting House near Cream Ridge and there have also been huge development sput up all around the Topenhemus graveyard. I know that the kids will be a threat to the safety of these things. It's also disturbing to realize that whenI was akid I did not understand the importance of these things and may been capable of similar activity, although I don't think I would have harmed historical sites.
This same question bothered the crap out of me, but a few years ago I drove past an identical structure down by Rowan. It was used to hold piles of mulch, gravel, and dirt, a different one in each section.
Ten years too late for this conversation, whoops.

My buddy thought as much when we discussed this recently. I wonder how old it is and who built it. I'm told there was a CCC camp thereabouts.
CCC Camp would certainly make a lot of sense, and they'd need the materials.
