Small world! And I tried to get a job as a ranger at the Grand Canyon. I was supposed to be next on the list. Long story...

"So, if I my site has maps of the Pine Barrens, that would make me an "amateur"? But if I have maps of the world, then I'm a "professional"? " Yes. Yr maps r so much better than the pro maps I see (except for my underground map of Seaman Avenue that i made when i was ten) that i figured u were...

You make maps professionally then, Boyd? Long ago I thought I'd like to do that, because i'm artistic plus I liked maps. When i was a kid I made a fairly elaborate map of all the secret and semisecret and non secret underground passageways and hiding places where i lived, northern Manahatan...

I was around here 2 days ago, Boyd: https://boydsmaps.com/sync/#16/32.447166/-111.125508/hereHybrid/0/0/hereSat/13/0/0 How come u r mapping Arzona? Maybe i can ask u this question: I had Garmin GPS's for many years starting with the Garmin Model 2, then 2+ (which they sent me for free). I...

Neither. I still like to go out in the wilderness, but I have a hurt leg now and i can't walk very far, just 2 or 3, maybe even 4 (I guess) miles at most. Hills r OK tho and i have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Give me a call when u r out this way. Guy was kind enough to give me a tour of my old...

Oh wow! I used to hike Tumamoc Hill all the time. I'd link to a video i took going up it but alas it has disappeared from Utube! Let me see what else your map covers...I had no idea you'd map this part of the world too!

So awesome. I wish i was still able to go down there and explore some more using your maps, but... driving time Tucson, AZ to Chatsworth, NJ: 35 hr (2,383.4 mi)...not that I haven't already made that drive numerous times.

Your maps are so awesome. I would have loved that and GPS back then. I was always looking at my compass and unfolding the big unwieldy (especially after I applied waterproofing to them!) geo survey maps.

Boyd - I'm looking at the pond of water by where it says Warren Grove, off Simm Pl. Rd. I was probably st - I mean borrowing - some cranberries in a cranberry bog west of there - just like a handful really - and then when i got strafed I rather frantically drove looking for water to wash off...

Huh? Wassa philly, some kinda horse? I'm from Noo Yawk.

"As I suspect you learned......." See, I told youse I'm smarter den I look! Amazing maps! All I used to have was old geological survey maps, some last updated 1941 or something. Maybe the pond by Warren Grove was the place i jumped in to wash off after that biplane strafed me with bug spray...

Thanks. Boyd. Is there a way to get the road names and town names to show up on your map because i'm not clear where i'm looking at, but I'm quite sure its an area i never went to. Add: Never mind - got it!

I don't even know where gravel pits are. I guess I never went to that part of the Barrens. When was the last time I camped out in the Pines, over 10 ago - or was it 12 or 15? I forgot - one of my trips back east - but it was as peaceful as ever that night deep in the woods...except for some...

What!? On the PB rivers or Lake Oswego where I used to canoe and kayak?!

They didn't have ATV's in my days in the Barrens. It was so peaceful in there. They're out here in AZ too, all over the desert kicking up dust.

Post 30: I ordered that book from Ebay? I don't remember that either. What became of it. Do i have it buried here someplace? I've moved various times since then and a lot of things have disappeared, and i also used to trade in old books at the Bookmans...(I'm reading thru this whole thread)...

:) I don't care!

Yes, I believe that's the one. I never owned it but just looked through it years ago in a book store, I think. I don't know if it's really rare but i don't recall ever seeing it again. ADD: I did own it but I forgot!

Maybe someone objected to encouraging illegal camping, which actually is probably a good thing. I don't leave a trace, but you'd get people trashing the place and starting fires.

"Old Book" This thread brought to mind one of the unique places of now long gone America. Macdonalds book store was located in a very old factory building in an out of the way spot in the small town of Hudson NY. I was just talking about it. It had an enormous basement filled up with old...
