Adventures in the South Jersey Woods
(or thereabouts)

Road deep in Wharton State Forest, October 19, 2003

For centuries, the pinelands of South Jersey have stood a world apart, despite their closeness to Philadelphia, New York City, and the East Coast megalopolis. Two young lads have spent many a year exploring this harsh wilderness (with only stops at Wawa, Mr. Bills, or an isolated diner to sustain them). This is a chronicle of some of their adventures in words and pictures, both in their own peculiar manner...

Last Update, May 24 2005: Added Delaware Bay trip

Anyone looking for something to read, I had an article recently posted on the history and architecture of Lucy the Elephant on Renee's site. She put up some great old pictures of Lucy to go with the article, as well as blueprints. Much thanks to Renee for posting the article, as well as for running a great website!
