That is no joke! I can fly the kite. I think I'll leave the drone to him though. What drone footage would you guys like to see most of the pines? I would love suggestions.

COOL. We just got a drone and Joe is currently navigating the surprisingly steep learning curve. This video makes it look deceptively easy to fly them with a controller (rather than a pre-programmed flight). I guess that's the difference between the $2000 drone and the $10,000 drone. He has...

I discovered a bunch of those last year here in MI. I had never heard of them either until I was out in the yard and realized I wasn't alone. They are am amazing example of a organism and its niche.

These are stunning! How have I not seen them until now!?

I am so homesick. I don't want to miss out! :(

This is exactly what I thought about when I read this news.

When they are published, the coordinates show where they are. The approvers, I am assuming, will be the police in this matter.

Whoa. My husband and I were pretty active geocachers when we were in NJ. This rule affects a great number of caches in the state, especially in the pines. We placed several while we lived there, and I think this would affect almost all of them. As a rule, I found geocachers to be pretty...

I have mosquito bites. In January. In Michigan.

What scares me is that we don't even understand the vector yet. Could even be mosquitoes or biting midges. Yet another reason to be vigilant about repellents and post-hike checks. And sticky rollers!

That's pretty rude to correct peoples' grammar. (People's grammar? Peoples grammar?)

That is what it looks like to me, too. They are good to eat and are apparently a good "beginner's" mushroom since they are pretty easy to ID and don't have any poisonous mimics, but I would still be wary. They are prized for their yummy flavor...

I admire people with that skill because wild mushrooms are heavenly. My sense of self-preservation, however, is too strong to even pursue knowledge of edible mushrooms. I currently have a stand of chicken-of-the-woods in my back yard that is two feet across, I am pretty sure it's the right...

I have a Macbook Air because they last much longer than PC laptops. I went through about 5 PCs in 10 years or so. Yes, Macs are pricey. My husband got one in 2005 because he was a computer doctor at the time and had to learn Mac OS and hardware. He still uses it every day. The durability is...

Haha, awesome. That is the beauty of those things. Who knew what was lurking out there? We got a snap of a fisher cat really early on with ours. Keep setting it and you may be surprised at what else you see out there! I actually got a couple of still shots of some guy once (not a neighbor)...

I suppose it's possible, but rabies isn't all that common. The majority of raccoons have baylisascaris.

Digging up an old thread here, but Teegate, how did you get those? Did you just sit the camera set to shoot at intervals and leave it for a time? Or did you capture these stills from video? They are wonderful. GoPro cameras are just the best.

On my bucket list. A few hardcore friends like to ski Tuckerman's Ravine. I think they're out of their minds, and I think they would agree.

Baylisascaris procyonis. Shudder.

We have a Bushell trophy cam that was about $100. The battery life is great, although it takes AA's. They have lasted for months. The quality of the pics is not perfect but not too shabby either. Here it is in nighttime mode. It shoots in color when it's light out. I like it because you can...
