Hi all.....
Took an extra day off with my better half and headed to the woods with a pic-a-nic lunch and dog. No plans, just drive and explore and see where the road led us. While not looking for anything particular but admiring the lack of civilization we stumbled across this:View attachment 548
Now I have been reading your postings about stones, monuments, etc. but the best I could do was determine that it was most likely a property marker because of the area that we found it. We did know that we were in the vicinity of older private property, but not that close. And why would it be at the edge of a river? One good flood could wash it away, yes/no? It also seemed that there may at one time have been a bridge at the site. Do these stones mark bridge locations?
Am I permitted to discuss on site where I found this if it is on public land? Don't go GPS on me yet! I like the romanticism and imagination involved with being an explorer......... (until I stumble across the first beer can)
Perhaps being new to the site I am unaware that this is where you have your "Annual NJPB Spring Celebration" and you all know of it's existence already!
If these questions are redundant, which I am sure of, please lead me to the area where I can read up. Always a pleasure to learn new material.
Thanks!
