Jeff,
I think you can easily find Loblolly Pines in Belleplain State Forest in northern Cape May County. Just look for the taller, straighter pines with longer needles (and cones) than the typical Pitch Pines - and Loblolly needles are also more flexible than Pitch Pines.
I also found this reference to Loblolly Pines in Cumberland County:
Egg Island Wildlife Management Area (Cumberland County) This area and nearby sites along Delaware Bay have salt marshes much like those along the Atlantic shore; but they also have lowland forests with a distinctly southern aspect. Along Hansey Creek Road, one might find species as water oak, basket oak, and loblolly pine, growing with Spanish oak, American holly, and sweet gum.

The USDA confirms they are in Salem county as well, though I don't know if this map means they are native there or simply were found there.

I have a few extra Loblolly Pine seedlings in pots (of Delmarva stock), if you are looking for any for your garden...
Posting Photos
In order to post photos, you must first upload the photos onto the internet. You need to either have your own web space to do this, or get a free subscription to Photobucket.com or Webshots.com or a photo service like that, or Wunderground.com weather site, and now Google.com has this also through gmail accounts. So upload the photo to the internet, then go to it and right or left click on it (ctrl + click on a Mac) to open it in a new window. Copy the address of where the photo is located on the internet, and paste it into the "Optional Image URL" box on your post before you post it. You may use the "preview" key to see if the photo is loaded and the address copied correctly. You can post multiple messages by typing img src="photoaddresshere" you must surround this by "<" and ">" Post any questions on how to put photos up on the forum and we will help you.
