Wharton Trip PICS

[B4C]

Took a trip thru wharton today and figured I would share some pics. We were mainly looking for the Paper Mill.
We started at atson ranger station and headed toward basto. We came upon this old foundation off of washington turnpike.

We the headed over to bear swap hill where in 1971 a supersonic jet traveling at 1300mph struck a fire tower while buzzing the trees. The wreck slid thru the swamp for about 1/4 of a mile.

I dont know too much of the history. Bear swamp hilll was destryoed in 71 when a super sonic jet struck the fire tower at 1300 mph and slid 1/4of a mile thru the swapt taking out 900 trees along the way the wreck was left in the woods and that langing gear is all that is left now but is slowly sinking into the swamp. The mill I have no idea. The cranberry pump was used to pump cranberries up from the bog. The old foundation was a tavern. Wharton state forest was purchased by Mr. Wharton because it has natural springs and he wanted to pump the water ti Philly so I could be sold, but he was not permitted to do so, so he donated the land to the state.

Pretty cool stuff, I remember seeing a bunch of foundations for buildings when we we're in that area wheeling. I'd love to do some exploring there someday!

[FBODS4EVER]

???? no jersey devil pics??? nah j/k nice pics. looked like a nice outing

[Scrat's_Camaro]

I have tons more Ill post more up if you guys want

yeah me and my parents went and found the mill when we went trailin awhile back it was definetly cool as hell. where is that plane wreckage at?! Do you know the coordinates to get there? my dad would be excited as hell to see that.

[Tru2Chevy]

Nice pics.

Do you have coordinates or general directions for any of these?

- Justin

[B4C]

My friend has all the coordinates but people generally wolnt share them out of fear that they will fall into the wrong hands and then no one will be able to enjoy these places because of vandals. Some of the stuff is already fenced in and the brick factory is littered w/ paint ball stuff.

[Teds89IROC]

awesome pics! I love seeing this stuff as well

[FIcamaroRE92]

Dude, id love to go there one day, thats is sick.
what kind of camera were you using?

thats very understandable...many people are out to destroy stuff like this. i think its pretty amazing. devils tree is a prime example, its a really cool tree with a history and people go there and try to chop it down and vandalize it..beer cans everywhere..sucks..

[NJ Torque]

i got a spot here in central... willing to trade locations :D

off the maps... but still a fun time.

[69BirdX]

Yea im suprirsed some idiot hasnt tried stealing the landing gear for scrap. lets hope it stays where its at. that place looks cool

[madness410]

hey..thats not a bad idea......


jk of course lol

[Blacdout96]

I want to go check out that landing gear. I love doing **** like this. Im amazed at how fresh the hydraulics still look after sitting out there for over 35 years. Do you happen to know what kind of jet was making that run?


Edit: found some info:

Yea im suprirsed some idiot hasnt tried stealing the landing gear for scrap. lets hope it stays where its at. that place looks cool I'm sure ppl have tried but u didn't see the brush we alked thru or how far into the woods we went and that thing was very heavy took 3 of us to pick one end up

[Scrat's_Camaro]

i like how the iron builds up on the ground to make it orange in the water.

yeah i hate when people do that **** aswell, pisses me off and my parents when we go trailin and see that ****.

[B4C]

I was talking to one of the guys I go with who has alot of coordinates for some neat stuff ut there. He said there was an abandoned boy scout camp there that they just up and left in the late 30's he said they had left everything, apparently it was hard to find and when he did eventually stumble upon the coordinates from someone the government had bulldozed the place because of vandals.

[r0nin89]

Wow I never knew there were actually different things to go checkout out there. Looks pretty cool.

What GPS program are you using on your laptop?

[B4C]

My buddy Adam has DeLorme on his lap-top

[69BirdX]

There use to be an old military base built in the cold war but the recently got rid of it all.
