Grew up in Lacey and the Pines. Never heard of a Bamber Triangle or a plane wreck that you could play on.

Registered my son and I this last Sunday night We cant make the one in Batsto. So we are going to the one in Oxford at the hatchery, He is 15 and is interested in learning. He got two mouth calls for Christmas.

I have taken my kids there to dig for fossils along with Poricy Brook. They collected fossilized turtle scutes, squid tentacles, shark teeth and brachiopods. Most we were told were about 50 Million years old.

Walked from Coal Road to Batsto along the Batona trail last weekend. I don't have a picture. But this area was so full of water from beaver activity. We had to walk across boards that were floating along the edge of a road. I think this is the place. As soon as we crossed the boards there were...

Looks like the back stop at the old Pine Crest Gun Club
