I get Ivy bad.I just wonder how many times it's been sumac and I thought it was ivy? It's the same poison in both plants so the symptoms would be the same.I know sumac is supposedly a swamp plant and i spend a lot of time in swamps.Is it a Barrens plant? Or does it prefer less acidic soil?

Thanks Dogg!

You like Black Gum? I can show you some Black Gum:-) Still a few areas in the bear swamp I ain't slogged through yet:-)

I"d invest in some good paper maps.A road Atlas or Maine road map ,maybe a Gazetteer,their better then a road atlas and not quite as good as a topo map. Cell service is non existent except near or in towns. Bears are really over rated as a danger.I"ve walked up on numerous bears and every one...

I knew the winged sumac and figured out the other must be poison.I have only seen it once and that was in Burlington near the delaware river.have never seen it in the Pines or perhaps just didn't know what it was when i did.I"m going to have to learn it because Poison ivy does a number on me but...

Any stones? Deeds online?

My cousin has the sister to my oldest Lab and he trained her with a shock collar.My wife will have none of that since our oldest dog has seizures and the vet said a shcok could create a seizure.He doesn't have to use the collar anymore.If she is misbehaving all he has to do is grab the remote...

http://www.abandonedamerica.us/henryton-sanitarium I had seen a short paragraph on Patapsco valley State park in my backpacker Magazine this month and I decided when I got home I"d check it out on the net.Supposedly a lot of ruins.Thought it might be a nice place to take the grand...

I remember the day I found that monument quite by chance.I seen a white object through the trees and thought someone was camped illegal in a white tent.I stalked it till within maybe 100 ft when I realized it was no tent. I walked up to it and read the monument and walked away a little more...

Seven and didn't even know I was at a National Park:-)

If I had to choose between a map and a gps I"d take a good map.Gps without a map can lead me by the nose back to where I was but will never show me where i need or would want to go.I can find direction by sun,moon,stars,tree limbs and a compass.Gps is a great convenience but a map in unknown...

The community I live in (Laurel lake) is surrounded on two sides by Bevan WMA. There is a fire break approximately 30 ft wide that surrounds the residential area and is in case the WMA ever catches on fire this where they should be able to stop it. The WMA caught on fire back in the late 90's...

That one feller shore had a purty mouth.

I have always said a gps is great for telling you where your are.You need a map or aerial to tell you where to go,unless of course you already know the terrain well in which case your probably not lost to begin with.

The problem with the gap that takes you back to the boat ramp is that as you approach it from the west it appears to be a cul de sac cove.You cannot see the passage through till your almost on top of it.Thats why after taking 15 minutes to find it the first time I went out I made a mental note...

My older black lab is the same way.Human friendly but bullies and threatens all other dogs.Threatens right off and then once she knows them she has to dominate them.She was an only dog first three years then we got another girl lab puppy.Right off she acted like she was going to kill her,within...

We looked at those type collars to leash train the dogs.Mom refuses to choke em.She didn't like the looks of those either.We now have leashes that basically attach to the collar at their throat instead of in the back.These leashes pull their head down when they pull at the leash.We haven't tried...
