Yes, the topo maps are separate. You can't navigate using the topo maps, you have to turn it off before navigating on the road, but you can put it on and watch it, it has most of the roads in the pines. I don't know what sort of navigating capability the Etrex has. We have the 60csx an it...

Eat them?

Wow. I've been wanting to go there for the longest time. Did you camp? How long were you there? It looks spectacular.

What great photos! :)

Hey! I know what that is! :)

You think? You don't think he and Paulie will kill each other in a fight or something? I can see them wrestling and falling off of Great Gorge or something. Oopsie!

Isn't it just tense? You never know who's gonna get it. I was absolutely sure it would be Christopher last week.

What a world we live in.

The Simpsons, I would guess. :)

Never wet. Cool! I have never heard of that. Thanks! :)

We were out paddling around on Oswego Lake on Saturday. It felt SOOO good to get the boats back in. We spotted many pitcher plants, and this that we couldn't identify. I apologize for the quality, I think we're having an issue with our camera. These plants have a plain yellow spike on a white...

I don't think we disagree on this, I think that what works for you works for you. Permethrin is indeed a good repellent. I hope I haven't given the impression that I think one repellent is way better than another, I am just regurgitating what I've found on my own, that DEET gives the best...

No, not necessarily. There are several different reasons a bug is attracted to a host, and permethrin may or may not overpower that attractant. We do know what many of the chemical factors are that some people have that others don't. Also, oil of wintergreen is something that people don't...

So what is a "cranberry pumping station"? Was that used to transfer actual cranberries? Awesome photos. We happened upon that while out in the Jeep last summer.

Hm. Interesting. Coming from the perspective of a huge corporation, (since I work in R&D for one) if permethrin really worked better, the companies would be all over it instead. Can't say I buy that theory. From my own experience with repellency experiments in vitro, DEET does work better...

Very well said, Largo.

And what is the "DEET lobby"? DEET is a relatively cheap, off-patent chemical (meaning that no one company has rights or control over it, it's got the same sort of restrictions in that respect as water). How would the "DEET lobby" be keeping permethrin-based repellents out of the stores...

Actually, I sorta agree with that guy. I don't think he dodged the question, I think that's just about right. Tick-borne diseases go beyond Lyme disease, and it's only going to get worse. (I am speaking from the veterinary perspective, I don't know a lot about tick borne diseases in humans but I...

Thank you both for the information. :)

Oh, geeze, now I feel like such a meanie. I can't get the video to play due to my work's incredibly cumbersome network, but the first pic is pretty convincing.
