We missed you and all who didn't make it Scott!

The fabulous Mr. Abrams, disguised as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with his approved safety glasses on. I'm glad to have met John. When he speaks it's usually profound and often funny. A great guy. I think his smile says it all.

The very quick and energetic Dan. He will be giving Chris and Jeff a run for their money now.

Good company and a good day. It was tougher than I thought it would be, for sure. I think the briars were heavy due to the elevation of that area. Kind of low for some sections that were supposed to be somewhat upland in nature. Here below is where we crossed, but we had planned to go to 'First...

Yes, I do use that one for home. I love the dewpoint chart. It has caused me to cancel a day in the woods on occasion. PS: In that last post, I was speaking of Monday. Last Sunday it rained during our time for the trip (New Gretna forecast). I always change the location to where I'll be, not...

Lisa. She floats my boat like no other singer. I want to swim in your current Carry me out, up and away I want to float On every word you say Want to be underneath your weather Every cloud and ray of sun I want to float In between every one In between every one I want to sink down like a...

It was a mixed bag. I was mostly driving, but got out quite a few times to climb a hill or go down a trail. I saw one right on the side of the road, and one in an upland scene, and a couple in lowland with highbush blueberry. The third photo below was an odd one (as was my response). This was...

Here, the fire did not reach the creek in many spots. Like it was never there. But look at the second photo, it was only 20 feet away from the golden club in the first photo that the fire stopped. It was in too much of a hurry to try to burn wet sphagum.

Do you recall the burn I looked at last year, behind the Popcorn Park Zoo, the way the cedar roots were exposed due to deep burning? Well, here too. I wonder if climate change is allowing this to happen. Not enough moisture to keep the humus damp.

It is dissapointing to see many nice groves of white cedar burned all the way to the tips.

I went back today, I wanted to see if the Middle Branch and the South Branch of the Forked River were affected. I decided to not go to the Middle Branch. After yesterday, I had my fill of driving in the Forked River Mountains. It sucks anymore. You get rocked and rolled and brought up to deep...

Top notch! Blows the rest out of the water! All true Boyd.

Boyd, I remember a time I went on a botany trip. On the way out to the site on a path, nobody was afflicted by ticks. On the way back 90 minutes later, many were. They were likely drawn to the path we went in on by sensing our carbon dioxide. So they know where humans walk. When you walk your...

Yeah, we had one spot in Lebanon State Forest, an old gravel pit. But we also went to the clay pits north of 72 from the train trestle. We also had fires when the ice was good enough to skate on. My drink at that time was Bud in those 7 oz bottles. I smoked Marlboro menthols or Marlboro light.

From the article about the girl Guy Posted. "When Kling’s friends were further questioned by police, they recalled being with him when he drove to Sonny’s Recycling in Waretown, stole between 10 and 20 pallets and threw them on the bonfire before pouring gasoline over it, authorities said."...
