Pinelands National Reserve

8/1965 Camping at Bass River State Forest (Pinelands National Reserve). Saw a black snake that crawled under the tent - spooked us for a while.

We pretty much had the place to ourselves and enjoyed walking around the very nice restored village, with big main house, gristmill, sawmill, farm buildings and many others. We watched for a while at the blacksmith’s shop while an apprentice worked on some practice pieces.
