Abandoned Development in Marlboro
I first noticed these houses late last year on one of my trips to the Slaughterhouse. They’re pretty much across from the Slaughterhouse, actually. There’s one small “Off Limits” sign guarding the street. Scary. At the street’s end is a trail that I’m guessing leads to the mental...
Car in the Giant Puddle – 12/02
Here is why you should always, ALWAYS use caution when exploring off main or paved roads. On one of our trips to find the Bamber Boys’ Home (12/14) we made the mistake of not measuring the depth of a puddle on the trail. Here is the result: Of...
Spanish Mansion Ruins
First visited 12/02 Page redone 2/05 Video added 9/08 This place is, surprisingly, right off a main road, just down the street from the alleged Capone Place. There are stories that this old mansion also had Capone connections. On my trip to the Capone Place, my guide told...

The Blue Hole
First visited 12/02 Pics from 2/05 The Blue Hole is one of those places I simply don’t understand why people make a big deal out of it. From what I heard, the Blue Hole was well-hidden in the woods of southwest Jersey. What was noteworthy about it was...
