In severe winters there was good skating there ,and one season the Joe broke ul on WashinKton' s Rirthday,ans a group of yauna skaters had difficulty getting ashore. Crabbing in summer was good sport. Pine Neck took its name from the handsome stand of pine trees that stood on the banks of Joekey Creek,at its head by the main road, it was the only grove of evergreen trees anywhere around ,eool and shady in summer,warm in win- ter ,with raft needles under foot,�t was a delight to walk through,or linger I& Through the years wind and disease .gradually lessened the trees until the b-a viprd Hurricane of September 2191938, taok the last remains of the beloved Pine Grove. It belonged to Wells Phillips ,xhose home was the first on the left as you turned on to Pine Neck from the Hog Neck(13ay View) road.
