    New law: no smoking in public parks, forests?

    Ben was right.The smell is right down deadly. Clam and oyster shell piles. Once the stink is gone,sometimes even when it isn't folks around here fill their muddy driveways and dirt roads with them.I did it to mine once.Stunk for a couple weeks then was good.

    Crossing the Maurice River

    the first two shots are of Muskee Creek from 47 looking upstream in the one and across the tidal pond at the old RR tracks on the other.If you are really good at tight rope walking you can still cross the tidal pond outlet there,I on the other hand am no longer that stable.

    The one thing to do in Diving CReek in summer besides swimming in the Blue Holes is crabbing.Used to be just locals out to Turkey Point and Owls nest but then the advent of the internet publicized such places and now on a summer weekend good luck getting a spot between Shoobies and migrant farm...

    Scrubby Pine Trees

    Well your post seven pretty much pin points why the Plains exist but why a single normal sized tree here and there? Is it that the scrub trees underground portions are much older even though the above ground portions are not and that they have lost the ability to throw up a good trunk but then...

    New law: no smoking in public parks, forests?

    Uncle Ed always called it a Speak Easy and He had no liquor license so it was an illegal beer joint.WEather that would really qualify as a speak easy I do not know,Hell I don't even drink.

    Scrubby Pine Trees

    There is a lonesome pine on Spring Hill.It is the only normal sized tree anywhere in the area. Me and Whpoorbill used to climb it for views.He even accidentally broke a limb off it once because He didn't know to keep his big clumsy feet close to the trunk.The tree did not die but now is quite a...

    Two deer with one shot: She's a 101-year-old hunter and she's still going strong

    I set off the siren at Apple Pie Hill.

    The sanitorium foundation is still there also there was a large septic tank next to it that was about eight feet across and ten feet deep.A person could have fallen into it and not been able to get out.A friend of mine told someone in the state about it and the bulldozed it shut.This highly...

    New law: no smoking in public parks, forests?

    Now people will smoke in their cars and then throw the butts out the window. I think the problem is that people are actually paid to set around and make up new laws so if they don't come up with crap like this their viewed as not doing their job.This is enough to make me start smoking just to...

    Stone Searching... Fall, Winter, Spring 2018/2019

    Guy and I have often discussed how they get these big stones into the middle of nowhere and we have come to the conclusion that often back then it wasn't the middle of nowhere.The woods were probably leveled and there were logging roads to get them close to the corners or they would cut one like...
