We were driving down Carranza road this morning when we saw a telephone pole just north of Hampton road cut off by a chain saw. It was hanging by the wires. There was another cut partially through a few poles south. It musta been a fun night. Atlantic City Electric was just arriving and seemed shocked.
A strange place, that area. I didn't post about this before but in early June on a Sunday morning we were driving towards Hampton Furnace when we noticed a white Mercedes parked on a dead end road near the boot camp. The next day we were out that way it was still there so I drove up the hill facing it, there was noone in it , no front licence plate and I noticed the motor was running because of the exhaust. Well we left, considering it was near a correctional facility ( they call it an academy ). I was next out that way on Tuseday and a friend I met said there was an abandoned car around the corner. It was the Mercedes banged up, not running. Florida plates, no obvious blood or bullet holes and I called it into the State Police. The next day it was gone.

Did I mention the bra and panties hanging from a tree branch on the way to Hampton Furnace this summer?

Many here would be interested in knowing if you saw the owner of those items?

I'll never forget the first time I drove down that road, having moved to Medford in 1994. Just past the "boot camp" there were a couple kids walking down the road who waved me down. When I pulled over they told me some questionable story about needing a ride down the road to meet a friend. Having just seen the boot camp sign, I got spooked and drove on towards friendship. I'd never been down there before, and wondered if I would ever return to civilization after a couple miles, but NO WAY was I gonna go back past those kids and whatever they were up to :).
 
I remember driving down what I think was called Hunter's Mill Rd. heading down to Moore's Beach. Every few hundred feet there were bras and panties dressing up a tree. Thought it was really strange and then as we drove further down something else caught my eye. There was a large iron fence post next to a road that was blocked off by a mound of dirt. On top of the post was a wild boar's head. It was real and roughly cut and hadn't been there a long time. It freaked me out enough that, after some deliberation because I didn't want them to think I was nuts, I called the state police and reported it. I left my number and got a call back within a half an hour. They went out there and found everything just like I said. They knocked the boar's head down and buried it and searched the area. They found evidence of people camping off the blocked off road in a no tresspassing area and thanked me. Just a little more south Jersey weirdness... I have a picture but won't post it, as it is pretty nasty looking...
