Lincoln's NJ Roots/Crematory Hill/Bowling Ball Grave/Jersey Jungle

So i got a lot accomplished on today's location trip to central jersey. I didn't pick my grandpa up this morning until 11:00 and we didn't get on the road until 11:15 but we took the parkway up and shot across the state to Imlaystown, NJ where the Deb grave or where Abe Lincoln's NJ family was buried. The history behind it is that Lincoln's family, even before Abe Lincoln was born, in the early 1700's, tow brothers became a blacksmith and had families and such in Monmouth county. One of the brothers had a daughter who died at the age of 3 and is buried at the Ye Old Robbin's Burial Place. So after searching on the web a couple of days before i went it said the grave was on the side of this road, in the woods, but there was a path to get there so i though oh no big deal we park on the side of the road, walk through the path and get to the cemetery, WRONG. Trees were knocked over and thorns were everywhere so my grandpa defiantly could not trudge through the path but i decided to go further, find the grave site  take some pictures and come back. I went to the woods more about to give up when i find a whole bunch of headstones in the woods, i found the Deb grave and took a couple pictures and headed back to the car. I took a picture of the cemetery sign for the album.

Next it was onto the next location, Crematory Hill. Crematory Hill is on Disbrow rd in Monroe Township, it used to be a scare back in the 70's where boys would take girls to scare the hell out of them. The crematory used to be on top of this hill on the road that people say was haunted. The crematory was demolished and in replace, a development. I still wanted to go to the hill and see what it was like. It was nothing really, kind stupid, so i took a picture under the street sign.

After that we had to head over to Freehold to see the bowling ball grave but before that we needed to eat so we decided on Mcdonalds, but we couldn't find the McDonalds in Freehold so we ate at the food court in the mall instead. We got back in the car and headed to Rose of Lima cemetery located on freehold-englishtown rd. We entered the cemetery and drove around looking for the bowling ball grave. we found it in the way corner of the cemetery, It was the grave of Arthur Sullivan, took a quick picture and headed on to the next location.

Lastly, this wasn't a big location either, but the next location was Jersey Jungle. Jersey Jungle was this zoo type thing in the middle of the woods that had exotic animals. It opened in the 70's and closed shortly after. Now there is nothing left. I couldn't go through the woods to find it because my grandpa can't do that so i decided to take a picture, in the woods near where it was, in Howell township right off of route 33 east. so we got off and took this wonderful picture of me in the woods. whatever. Then we headed on home.

Cape May Bunker

So since i found out last night i that i didn't have work i decided to go down to the Cape May Bunker and take pictures. I've done everything in that area except i needed a picture of me in front of the bunker to add to my album. So i got in my car this morning at around 11:30 and headed down the parkway. I then got off at Shellbay ave where i usually get off and i follow the signs for the Cape May Lighthouse. I was going down route 9 when i saw that the street i usually take by this school was ripped up. i then had to find another way to get to where i was going. I must have drove around cape may a million times before i found which was i had to go. I made it to the bunker and found out they were doing construction there on the beach with some huge pipe things i don't really know what they were doing but at first i thought i wasn't aloud on the beach but  i went anyway and i saw some people standing by the water so you were aloud on the beach. i took a picture of me by the bunker and went back to my car because it was so cold. i then wanted to take pictures in the historic part of cape may where all the little shops are but every other road was closed i couldn't find my way so i just went back home. and that was my trip.

The Wreck of the Sinda

So i have not been able to do any locations in a while due to hurricane sandy but today i was bored sitting around my house when i decided to go to a location close to my house. Ocean city is about 20 minuets away so i decided to go visit the wreck of the Sinda. The Sinda was a ship that crashed on the beach of Ocean city near 18th street. you can't actually see the ship it's way under the sand but it still is a location for the documentary so i got in my car and headed down to OC. 
when i got there it was really windy and cold so i wanted to make it a quick trip. I parked on like 14th street and began walking up the boardwalk until i got to the sigh about the wreck of the sinda. I took a picture with me in it standing next to the sign and then again of just the sign and head back the other way towards the rides and stuff. Then my ears started to hurt from the cold so i decided to just go home instead of taking pictures of the amusements which are shut down for the season. 
So it was just a short trip and a sporadic one at that. Hopefully going to get ready for the next location soon :)
