It's funny you should say that. I was noting how few were left. There used to be far more freight, passenger cars and engines stored there. *Edit: I am talking about the vintage equipment stored on the SRNJ tracks. Perhaps you are talking about the hopper cars temporarily parked on the Beesely...

Sent you a PM about this.

Based on what I've encountered in the days since the storm, you may be dealing with trees blocking the river, as well as the roads. Liveries have cleared many of the rivers they serve in the past but it may be too soon after the storm for that..

I'd swear I saw that bridge once in an Indiana Jones movie but I think crocodiles were also involved. :)

I've heard of fruit flagging before. It was so long ago I'd forgotten about it until Al brought it up and I can't remember where I heard or read it. Like Bob, I'm both suspicious and open-minded about such things. While it does make sense, there are plenty of other woody shrubs and trees that...

It's not a new concept. When I was younger, many state parks had such concessions, including some of those listed. Many of the structures from which they operated still exist, such as the one at Bass River.

Bob, I was able to tour one of the cedar regeneration projects on the site and that indeed is their intention.

Haines has been implementing a forest management plan put together by a consulting forester. If you look at the uplands south of those fields you can also see where there has been major thinning as well. By having a combination of thinned, clearcut and undisturbed forest, a diversity of habitat...

In my opinion, letting only fishermen drive on the beach is a fair compromise, as opposed to letting nobody drive on it. Fishermen often haul much more gear (bait, tackle, ice chests, caught fish, etc.) than can be easily carried long distances. Few of the other user groups do so, and there is...

Does anyone know how this boat came to rest at this location? I've been paddling by it for a very long time and have been asked that question myself more than once. I remember when it was in much better shape and certainly didn't look like anything one would navigate that river in. It seemed to...

That photo looks like the Finnegar farm in Lacey. I've also pointed out those trees and their browse lines to others many times. I'm not fond of driving, baiting or even game cameras (when used for hunting), for that matter. At least driving is a traditional legal method in the barrens. I...

Needs bluebird boxes ;)

Howardsville?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not against bluebird boxes. I've been involved in placement of more than my share. My comments were directed more at the activities deemed necessary by many once the boxes are used by birds. Helping wildlife by mitigating habit loss is a good thing. When it comes to...

We all have our pet peeves. My growing one is the exalted status given the Eastern Bluebird. For a bird not listed as endangered or threatened, many will have you think it's nests and hatchlings need to be monitored (harassed) on a weekly basis, protected from its natural predators and given...

My 2 cents on the issue is that painting with a broad brush when either condemning or defending activities such as this tends to lean more towards idealism than realism. I'm 100% sure that much wildlife research done is for reasons other than gaining valuable information that is not currently...

Thanks Guy!

It's a bit longer than the excerpt above and I'm a hunt and peck typist (I was very proud of myself when I finally went from one to two fingers! :)) . I can scan and post the image of the article as long as it's not violating any forum rules. Could take a few days though. I only have a scanner...

I found the reference mentioned above. It did not provide the information on the road's endpoints that I had hoped. Perhaps I was thinking of another source. This one was in the Fall/Winter of 1967 issue of the Batsto Citizens Gazette. The article's title is At Cedar Bridge in 1848. In one...

I don't even like referring to these incidents as accidents. They are acts of stupidity. If the few basic rules of safe gun handling are followed there will be NO accidents. The two most important ones are to treat every firearm as if loaded at all times and to always be sure of your target, and...
