Wow - amazing find - but is that a different wreck from the one I photographed in 1971?

You have a great job, Dragon, way better than having to work in all the worst slums and places in and around NYC like I did. I miss the Pine Barrens. It was so very different from those places, a wonderfully relaxing antidote...

Canoeing and kayaking - messing about in boats, as Ratty says - are some my favorite things to do.

You people are talking about New Jersey, right? I thought that New Jersey forbids honest people from owning hand guns and being able to defend themselves. Am I wrong. Handgunlaws link to NJ: http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/newjersey.pdf

When I lived back east I used to want to camp out in a PB ghost town (but no, not Batsto) on Halloween, or at least make an all night moonlit hike through the Barrens, but I could not find anyone brave enough to do it with me and I was not brave enough to do it alone. I did, however, once, many...

I was quoting the guy on the advrider forum there, Boyd, but I'm glad to hear they are straightening everything up with firmware/software updates. As I said, I plan to replace my Gramin 276C with this one one day, but 276C is still going strong (except for the buttons getting somewhat sticky...

REI, good idea, and yes they do have it. http://www.rei.com/search?query=garmin+montana&button.x=45&button.y=17 Looks like good prices too when you consider the 10% member discount (I've been an REI member since 1970). REI periodically comes out with 30% discount coupons, but GPS and some...

Good to hear that you like it because I was keeping it in mind for when my Garmin 276C gets replaced. I'd like to try to find/google-up a 276C owner who switched to the Montana so that I could get a direct comparison. Are there any things you particularly like or dislike about it, Boyd?

I like that then and now photo. That wee tree in the left foreground has now grown up. Yow, I never saw foam like that down there! There used to be a tiny bit around the edges sometimes, but I never saw anything even remotely like that. I think that maybe John McPhee's statement that all the...

Unfortunately there are a lot of problems with the new Garmin Montana: http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?s=fb84ef7e531ba2cf244b4910e477d5d8&showtopic=279922&st=50

OK, so WAAS can give a more accurate position reading when stationary. Is there any reason why not to leave it on all the time when moving? I don't think so. Then why even have an option to turn it off?

Shorpy website is like great museum of old photographs. I did some - uh - cranberry pickin myself down there ...couple a photos on that thread I made of my old PB pictures.

" Don't know enough about this stuff to understand if it will increase accuracy or if its just a redundant one, but more is probably better" Same here. I have the option to turn WAAS on or off on my GPS, but I don't know what difference it makes.

Driving around the PB roads in the 60's through 90's I met up with plenty of sand traps but I don't recall encountering totally impassable collapsed roads as above. I guess I just wasn't down there after hurricanes. Here's another one at another place and time: road between Death Valley and...

That resale value of that rattlesnake is virtually nill.

When I used to drive all around the back roads in the PB in the late 60's through 90's I'd encounter bad sand traps but never busted down impassable roads like that. Maybe I just wasn't down there after a hurricane.

Good luck, you guys! Times Square Cam: http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/

Here's the Belmar Beach cam http://www.belmarcam.com/ Can't see much there either. Just noticed 46er posted a better link on the other thread: http://www.eastcoastcams.com/newjerseysurfcams.htm Hey, right now it's even pouring rain here in central Arizona!

Oh, the modern name for Rotten Pond is Ramapo Lake.
