You never really know what you'll encounter when hiking in the woods, at least here in Central New Jersey.
I've found so many animal bones, old bottles, and the obligatory deflated mylar balloon, that sometimes I think my @steemit handle should have been @bones_bottles_balloons.
This post shares some captures of a very old barbed-wire fence that quietly remains standing, for the most part.
I'm not really sure what it originally fenced in (or out), but it runs for quite a few miles.
This particular area of Allaire State Park is a favorite place for mountain bicyclists, and over the years they've blazed quite an elaborate series of narrow loopback trails that traverse within and outside of the fenced in area.
You can see where the various trails skirt through some of the holes in the fence.

What an amazing series of shots!! Great job! I would assume that a fence like that was installed by the govt. not some farmer to keep his cows in. Interesting research project. up-vote and re-steem for sure!!

Yeah the fencing definitely screams "keep-out", but I didn't see any signs except the one rusted swiss-cheese sign.

Agree @mericanhomestead, in many parts on NJ, you find all kinds of ancient junk piles as well.

I love to see how nature is slowly taking down that fence!

With "slowly" being the operative word, I'm sure I'll be long gone before that fence is 😱
I guess nature really is the ultimate re-cycling center!

I find them quite often, usually you'll stumble across a small dumping ground that is loaded with old bottles, pots, cups, you name it. I've posted a number of times with stuff like that and I'll do a few more soon.

Could be a shagbark hickory, but not really sure. Here's a post I did a Steemit eon ago about shagbark hickory, strangely enough entitled Shagbark Hickory.

I tried to make out what that sign said, but it was too far gone, which is understandable for something that got shot that many times 😉
