BTW; I want to give you a clue since it's not in this section of the pines. It's in Upper Township, Cape May County.
Yes, I knew it would likely be you to guess it. A mother born 1790, just 8 years after the revolution.
Yes, and they are good at maintaining it too.

By the way Bill, I was really pleased with this area circled. As I drove I was surprised at how nice the yards and houses were, even the inexpensive ones. Also, the trees and general landscape is nice. Not like down in lower Middle Township where briar and other crap grows everywhere and some houses look like hell.
I kept thinking it'd be a nice place to live. Same for Seaville too. Nice houses and room to spread out.

Thing about Medford; there's too many trees for my taste. Dark, etc. Expecially Oakshade road and Indian Trail area. And here's a road I traveled for only the second time in my life last month, and to me it's ratty-looking due to the businesses. Mishmash, nothing uniform in form or color. Apologies to you forum members who live in Medford. There are of course some nice areas there too.
As c1nj can tell you Medford has some really nice and remote woods to explore that still are mostly undisturbed. I have found more interesting things there than any place I have visited.
That explains why you didn't know where Lake Pine is.
I lived on Tabernacle Road a half mile from your screenshot for a number of years, moved to a place on Atsion Rd for a few years but left the whole area almost 20 years ago and never regretted it. I certainly didn't move because there were too many trees or nothing was uniform in color though. I really enjoyed my years in Medford and our daughter loved going to Shawnee. I probably would have stayed on Atsion road but they got a variance for the land next to me, clear cut it and built two ugly McMansions on lots that were much too small. I got out while property values were still high.Clearly we're very different in our housing tastes - and that's a good thing, because I never would have found my current "cabin in the woods" if everybody wanted one. You would certainly not care for my place, which is looking a bit the worse for wear these days and I haven't even thought about doing yard work for months. Will get around to it eventually, need to spruce things up here later in the summer for a family event. But in the meantime... if you can see my house, you're trespassing!
And look at it this way... I could have a pretty yard, or you could have new maps. I chose the "maps" option.More trees, greater distance from shopping centers, less uniform colors, those are all good things as far as I'm concerned. It's 20 minutes to the nearest supermarket for me. Perfect!
