Emilio Carranza Crash Monument: Tabernacle, New Jersey
The Lindbergh of Mexico, Emilio Carranza Rodriguez, will forever be bound to a patch of forest in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
In 1928, Emilio Carranza Rodriguez was 22 years old and a hotshot hero of Mexican aviation. Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight the previous year and his subsequent dramatic flight to Mexico City made a powerful impression south of the border. Influential men in Mexico decided that their country should have its own flyboy glory. A plane was built, the Mexico-Excelsior (an exact copy of Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis), and it was announced that Captain Carranza would fly from Mexico City to New York and then back again.
The trip to New York was done in stages and went smoothly. But the return flight was going to be a non-stop, grueling test of endurance. Carranza delayed his departure for three days because of bad weather, and then abruptly flew off on the evening of July 12, 1928, in a wild thunderstorm.
Rumor has it that he was forced to leave on orders from a jealous Mexican general, whose telegram to Carranza was reportedly later found in the aviator's pocket. Leave immediately, it read, or the quality of your manhood will be in doubt. Carranza only got about 50 miles south before his flight ended in the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey, a vast stretch of pine trees and sand. His body was discovered the next day by some locals picking blueberries. Carranza had a flashlight in his right hand -- literally in his right hand, as the force of the impact had driven it into his palm. He had apparently been looking for a place to land when he crashed into some trees.
The heartbroken children of Mexico contributed pennies to build a monument, inscribed in both English and Spanish, to mark the spot where their hero had died. It still stands today, an arrow on one side pointing skyward, an Aztec eagle on the other plummeting to earth. Eerie footprints have been carved into the granite to signify Carranza's final touchdown. THE PEOPLE OF MEXICO, its inscription reads, HOPE THAT YOUR HIGH IDEALS WILL BE REALIZED.
The ground where Carranza met his end is as empty today as it was in 1928. A lonely road leads past the monument, through miles of pine trees. The closest neighbor is several miles up the road, the Life Skills and Leadership Academy, a boot camp for teen criminals. Perhaps they draw inspiration from Carranza when they police the grounds around his memorial, but otherwise this is a lonely place.
Once a year, at 1:00 P.M. on the Saturday closest to July 12th, Emilio Carranza is honored. American Legion Post 11 drives out to the monument from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, along with representatives from the Mexican consulates in New York City and Philadelphia. There, they hold a ceremony for the Lindbergh of Mexico. For one afternoon Carranza is again a hero, although he might have preferred to be remembered for something other than this.

Today we took a tour of Winslow Township and the Hammonton area, here is a short video for the Memorial site:
Emilio Carranza Memorial
Site of where the Mexican piolet crashed his plane.
The first stop on our trip today, when approaching the location something caught our eye so we stopped the car and walked through the Pine Barrens to see what it was. Upon approach it appeared to me a makeshift memorial in the style of what you see on the side of the road when someone gets hit by a car and dies. But it was just a grouping of balloon that must have blown into this location.

JAPS Investigates Carranza Road Cemetery Part 2
The conclusion from a small cemetery in Tabernacle, New Jersey investigated by the JAPS team. Now the night vision on the camera isn't able to function very well in wide open fields but you can get a first hand experience of what the JAPS team was feeling that night.
EVPS and photos where taken that night and some interesting things were found, I eventually will put those both up.

JAPS Investigates Carranza Road Cemetery II Part 3
A few weeks later the JAPS returns to Carranza Road Cemetery to answer some questions. Christian was the camera man on this adventure and wasn't doing a very good job so pardon him but you can still get a feel for what we are hearing and feeling.
We have photos of this event with some interesting unexplained entities in them we also attempted to take EVPs but when we got back to the headquaters the voice recorder wouldn't not turn on that night. The next day the recorder would turn on but the EVP session file was corrupted and could not play back. Result of the paranormal? You be the judge.

Climbing a Fire Tower (Apple Pie Hill, Tabernacle, NJ)
Made with ezvid, free download at
While camping, my dad and I had heard about this tower and decided to climb it ourselves because why not. So, in the cold weather of the NJ Winter, we climbed up until we couldn't go any further. This was the view we got.
Also, this was my first project with both ezvid and my camera, so I hope you enjoyed it. I'll see what else I can come up with...
