I knew when i got up this morning that NY Scout had visited the jet in the woods because my site notifies me whenever someone else links to me. He was quite gracious enough to comment about my site a few times in his post (which I appreciate, as opposed to him just saying this [...]

Someone has cut a hole in the fuselage of the jet in the woods
I have covered the jet in the woods several times here on my blog. It generated quite a debate over what kind of plane it was until a local geocacher located the model # on the wing. I visit periodically and the last time was about a year ago when I went showed it to [...]

Bill Ervolino seeks the Iron Door
I’ve visited the Iron Door a few X’s. I actually suggested the idea to him but didn’t go with him because he’d already gone to the jet in the woods with me. His editors wouldn’t have gone for another trip with the same guide, so I suggested Brian Snat and voila. Another expedition for the [...]

Inside the house of Demon’s Alley
I received the following email and photographers from a reader. I saw your page on Demon’s Alley and figured you might want to see inside. I live nearby and have to go past the New City Complex now and again. Even though I know the truth (radon and all that) the area still creeps me [...]

Abandoned Railway Cars
The story goes that many years ago, someone (for reasons unknown) hauled some railway cars onto this dirt road off Macopin Rd in West Milford.
