+mogolloyd Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Why hasn't anyone done a Toxic Avenger, or Troma related cache? And there's only one Jersey devil cache? Let's step up on the few cool things Jersey is known for. Quote Link to comment

Let's step up on the few cool things Jersey is known for. I've seen a few caches that SHOULD have been named "Toxic Avenger", hehehehehe. I thought there WAS a Troma related cache? ALL the caches in the pinelands are jersey devil related if you do them in the dark, hehehehe. And dont forget to check out all the "Weird NJ" caches Gwho and SunCrush have hid.

+mogolloyd Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 I did a search for Troma, but nothing came up. If you can think of one let me know. It shouldn't be too long before we do another trek to Succasunna to see the grandmother.(I married into a yankee family) Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Oh yeah, Springsteen, Deb Harry, Jon Jovi, Hoboken, Joey Ramone's grave, Elsie the Cow's grave...oh and Campbells Soup.

Your opening my eyes to good things from NJ, but I have to shoot a few of them down. The Giants are the NY giants, I know the stadium is in NJ, but the Redskins are in MD, and no one down here considers them the MD redskins. I had never heard of tripod rock, and now that I have my life is still the same. Atlantic City is ghetto Vegas. I thought Ellis Island was considered New York? Never heard of the rt 23 pole art until now and it is as cool as it gets. So 1 more up on NJ for the pole art. I just have weird and confused feelings toward nj. I'm sick of getting yelled @ for gas station attendants for pumping my own gas. No hollow points? Whats up with that? The jug handle just to make a left? The signs on the side of the TP telling you the trees are dangerous due to chemicals. Sewark. All those white deer people put out for Christmas. All those Indian names, and I have never seen an Indian in NJ, I'm sure they're there somewhere. Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 quote: I thought Ellis Island was considered New York? Actually a federal judge ruled that most of it was in NJ. NJ gave a tiny island to NY and they kept making it bigger and bigger. NJ said only the original part should be considered NY and the judge agreed, so about 3/4 of the island is in NJ. Yeah, I'm not much of a Springsteen fan either. And ya don't have to get gas smell on your hands when filling up. The Jackson Whites are supposedly part Indian. They call themselves the Ramapough Tribe...but historians doubt their claim. The indians that lived here at the time of first contact, the Lenni Lenape, gave many of the Indian place names that we still have in NJ. They were pretty much decimated by disease fairly quickly and the remainder were eventually sent to "Indian Territory" about the same time the Cherokee embarked on their "Trail of Tears". There are apparently some left here, because they have a website: http://www.nanticoke-lenape.org/ "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues" -Abraham Lincoln Quote Link to comment

See This thread for a pretty good description. Also check out pineypower.com for some good info. It's really a shame that when most people think of NJ, they think of the area around Newark Airport. If only they could see the mountains in north Jersey, or the 1.1 million acres of sparcely populated Pine Barrens In the south. There is a reason why NJ has the most physical caches per square mile then any other place in the world. We really DO have the open spaces to support it.

All those Indian names, and I have never seen an Indian in NJ, I'm sure they're there somewhere. Some of us still pump our own no matter how much they yell. We just yell back that they are too slow, and if they don't want us to pump it, they need to pickup the pace. Hollow Points? They still sell them, I still use em.
