I recognized the lay of the island chain.My favorite island is shown.We went on a pbx hike there once
Very good Gibby! I know almost nothing, but I have found an area of previous habitation there along the tracks, including man-made holes and a dump (if memory serves me). There are several high spots there, on one you can see the Lakehurst hangers in the distance.
PS: how did you get this location?
I spent many hours in that area with my father and his brother during the late 70s and 80s. I immediately recognized the hill or hills. I remember driving up the soft sand road to the top in a jeep to eat lunch while looking out over Lakehurst.
- This was another spot I remember going through when we were in the area.

Very cool Gibby. I was at that spot in your link just once, I should revisit. We were on the PBX trip "Wrestling with the Wrangle".
Did you live in this area at one time?

I spent most of my youth in Lakewood just a stone's throw away from Ocean County Park. Ocean Avenue to be exact. There is a huge dealership there now.
I have always wanted to check out Wrangle brook and have never done it.I don't get up that far often.Is it a muddy bottom blackwater creek like the Tulpe? Or is it a clear water sand and gravel bottom stream like the Cedar Creek?
It is so depressing when I scan the maps of that area.I look at the topo and all I see is forever green with woods,swamps and creeks galore to explore and then I go to the aerials and I see most of it has been either developed or turned into gravel pits,airstrips and the like.Looks like they really raked that area over right before the pines were protected.I still see some nice woods left but the topos are very misleading up there.
It is more like the Cedar Al. But not as clear, more of a darker tint. And, since it's closer to civilization, I do think the PH has been affected. Come on up and we'll check it out.
I may be getting some time off from work and will take you up on that.I"ll know by the end of today or maybe Monday.Nothing serious,just an eye problem and driving at night is risky till the doc fixes it.says it's a one minute laser job and I"ll be good as new.
Sorry I know this isn't in the right place but for some reason I cannot make my own post on here (I'm new to the forums so not too sure how everything works) but does anybody know where there are 2 abandoned houses or buildings near mount misery road where there is graffiti and one of the pieces of graffiti is a penguin? Sorry I have no pictures and if anybody knows what I'm talking about does anybody have directions to get there
