    Tar Kiln Locations?

    You are right ,most kilns are alone but I know one area where five are clustered close together and sevaral spots where two or three within sight of each other. I don't know if they would use the same spot repeatedly but why not? You already have your clay layer down and barrel hole dug.I would...

    Ben have made a gpx file of more then 200 of these kilns.I have been to maybe forty of them.You can see them on the lidar images which is where we first noticed them.The first ones i went out and found are between Menantico creek and an old rd that heads toward Tavern Rock but runs into the...

    Ben, yes that sand rd that heads south does end up At Barth rd but it comes out in someones back yard.To get to the rd you have to slip around their house to the left or right.There is another rd that parallels it and joins it that would start in the bottom right corner of that photo and...

    Sympathy For The Devil

    Yes that would explain the high percentage of Italian. My closes connection to Italy is when we landed in Rome for a refuel on the way back from desert Storm.They wouldn't let us off the plane because most of us were drunk by then (Not me of course) so they made us stay on the plane during the...

    I"d say Ancestrys Italian percentage is more in line with having only one italian ancestor,a grandparent

    Sympathy For The Devil

    The one grandparent shouldn't give you more then 25 percent of your dna,your Italian is a bit high for just one Grandparent, Then again they obviously make mistakes because the different companies often contradict each other.I don't know where I got the jew from,I do have a couple cousins on...

    Sympathy For The Devil

    You know I have always been a big skeptic of the Jersey Devil,classing him with Sasquatch the Mothman and a host of other non existent entities that people imagine to go bump in the night but I may have to change my tune.Many times people who know i frequent the woods in all seasons and at all...
