I pass by this very site each week as I visit my daughter down in tabernacle, NJ. The landscape has changed somewhat over the years, but the area adjacent to that Chevy parked along the highway will not change; it is the creek. This particular section of route 206 has an interesting bit of Revolutionary War history surrounding it. Back in Colonial times, there was a drawbridge across the creek and a skirmish took place between the rebels and the King's foot soldiers. I have searched antiquarian newspapers for details but thus far have found nothing except contemporary records. I'm still looking.
