I hardly ever get sick.I have always wondered if it is because I was always playing in the dirt as a kid?I had Ring,Tape and Pin worms as a kid.The Doc said it was from digging in dirt animals crapped in or going barefoot in it which i was for ever more barefoot as a kid. Ate a lot of PJ...

Forest Bathing in the Tick Tub?

Apparently the deer management down here is far from quality.I never have seen the sense in planting fields for deer in every square mile of forest the way Bevan does. I usually substitute the acronym WMA with Deer farm in NJ Thats all they really are. More deer and more game birds isn't...

Black Rat Snakes have to be one of the most common snakes down here in Cumberland County.Probably the most enocuntered snakes in uplands.Northern water Snake is king in the wetlands.Garters are fairly common everywhere,even more so around water.

I"ve actually driven large sections of that line.In places it's tight with brush but you actually can drive or walk much of it.

Wildfire.

Are you referring to the arsenic that was being dumped in the river into the early 80's? Thats why they partially drained Union lake in the late 80's early 90's to clean it up.I never saw them do anything but the lake was partially drained about 8 ft down for several years.The aresenic was...

I grew up swimming up and down that river.A lot of time diving off the pilings a mile down stream from the crap factory. Now I have an idea why I act the way I do.And i thought it was just being a Millbilly!

http://www.thedailyjournal.com/story/news/2017/06/09/un/385315001/ There is just something wrong about crapping in your water. Ask TyphoidMary.

I think we all travel "Off Trail" occasionally. Once in awhile a Divine Foot may be needed to nudge us back on before the ticks of this world wind up in a spot that make us scream "Hell Fire and Damnation'! Is that the sirens of the "Off Topic " police I hear in the background:-)

Good article here sent to me by a friend.Seems not only are ticks attracted to Carbon Dioxide but to Butyric Acid as well. http://news.psu.edu/story/140846/1997/09/01/research/tick-talk

Bob, That sign just below the Arethusa photo,Was it on a straight and narrow path or on a wide road possibly headed toward Destruction?

I have been sitting on the ground and observing a dog tick crawling towards me.I got up and changed position only to see the tick turn and head in my new direction. I doubt they can see that far.Must be the smell:-)

Could also be that deer frequent roadsides to browse on the grass that always grows there because of available sunlight and lack of competing plants and the ticks fall off of the deer there and lay their eggs and a new brood arises?

But you can usually find something.Other then the mysterious green capped hill that I think may be the chimney pile there is nothing but a few rocks and some red brick dust where there used to be two cellars with walls.I just wonder if it was done out if ignorance or just not giving a rats patootie?

PS scratch the Brady and Smith houses from your historical maps at the Snow Hill/Ackley intersection. Then again it's history so maybe a memento to the location would be nice.A few rocks and bricks can still be found.

The 2015 aerials are loading for me but very slowly.Then again I have a lot of crap running right now. many of the cut over areas you will see in the area on the newer aerials,and one big area just behind the dirt track are the areas where the sate destroyed the forest to save the trees....from...
