    Planning a Batona Trail Thru Hike

    It was 50.9 before they did the reroute down at the southern end.I think that may have shortened it a bit.Not sure. I just remembered there was also a reroute up north of Chatsworth and I believe that lengthened the trail.Kayak Karl would probably no the exact mileage.He lives on the trail:-)

    Herp brains? :) Can anyone identify this frog by its call?

    Yes Chilehead I"d agree they are cricket frogs after relistening to it.They sounded like crickets in the beginning and then faded to a chrus like sound but now I think their cricket all the way through.And at 21 seconds I think I do hear one hammer tap from a carpenter but it's at the edge of my...

    Herp brains? :) Can anyone identify this frog by its call?

    Are you saying the frog heard all the way through is a carpenter? If so I"d disagree with that or are you saying somewhere in the background you hear a carpenter which I do not but may be missing it.The Chorus frog actually starts out sounding like a cricket frog but sounds more chorus like as...

    “Rough and Tumble Pine Plains," A PBX Hike

    I find many many more box turtles down here then I do up in the core area of the barrens. I wonder if they prefer oak woods to pine? Perhaps more mushrooms of which I"ve seen then chowing down on several times?
