I could not have said it better myself. I really like the community here and wouldn't want to see changes. Even if we do get a number of new members, I'd like to keep the culture here as it is. I wouldn't want to see upvote or downvote buttons (I'll elaborate more if you want), and frankly, if...

I woke up to an unexpected 0.5" of rain this morning in my rain gauge. Apparently we had a nice storm overnight. I agree with this_is_nascar, looks like tomorrow's a soaker.

I've been following it. It's terrible. My sincerest wishes for the best for those people. I hope their clean up and recovery is fast and complete.

That's so interesting that you say that, Bob. Yesterday I put my sunglasses on and stepped outside and so much condensation formed on my glasses that they nearly started dripping, and I thought to myself "that hasn't happened since I lived in Florida" (I used to live in Orlando).

Looks like lots of rain coming tomorrow, at least that's the prediction. Time will tell!

Really beautiful spot Guy. That stand of Sarracenia is really nice.

You got some astronomy in there too! :D Seriously, love this post, and we need more levity like this from time to time! Keep it coming!

Boyd your maps are an amazing resource once again. Thank you! Anyone familiar with the sugar sand situation there? Is there awareness of anything an AWD (RAV 4) can't handle as far as sand or holes?

Oooh now I just need a map of the roads/trails!

I'm pretty darn careful about ticks, for both my kids and myself. If I'm not going off trail: light colored clothing, long pants, long socks, hiking boots. All treated with permethrin. Pants tucked into socks, shirt tucked into pants. If there is any chance I'm going off trail or brushing...

4 inches in Hamilton, Mercer County (as per rain gauge)

Awesome! I wondered if they'd be out after that downpour, they say usually it's a deluge that stimulates them.

Two questions I have: how long does the tick need to be attached to transmit alpha-gal? Also, can larval stage lone star ticks transmit it? With deer ticks, they say that the tick has to pick Lyme up from a host (they're not born with it), and the tick has to be attached long enough to...

Jon, it's good that you found out who it was. What was the outcome?

I'm really watching this weekend with interest. Looks like the possibility of 3 or more inches of rain overall, which would be good news.

Yes I agree, it's bad and the past two weeks were warm and dry. Hopefully this trend breaks. We're supposed to have some decent rain tonight and again tomorrow evening so I hope that helps. Anecdotally, I have seen and heard frogs though (carpenter, leopard, peeper), and a friend of mine who...

@bobpbx @Gibby I'm really stuck on this identification, and don't really have any arguments against Gibby's (and your) position that it's a pine.

Bob I'll call that snake at 1:54 as a timber rattler, although it looks more yellow phase than what we normally see in the pines.

Hi Clamdigger, seconding Boyd's map here, and just wanted to share that this summer I took a ride through there to check it out and learn the place a little better. I'd advise planning a drive through there to get the lay of the land (if you're not too familiar with it already), and stopping at...

Oh man that brings back some memories. I used to work at KFC in my senior year of high school and 1st year of community college. I occasionally worked delivery and we would deliver to various locations in Hamilton, but there were times when I'd get pulled to the Trenton location. This was in...
