Yeah, it's just me. I'll get used to the controls after awhile.

If this is just an illusion tricking my own eyes, it's a good one. Look at these, taken at the same coordinates. To my eyes, one is a deep trough and one is a mound.

I find it odd that the elevated land at the southeast corner of Sim Place looks like a depression no matter how it's shaded.

I looked up how to check, and it's easy. It's the performance tab under task manager. My 256 gb solid state drive must help too.

Taunting the police? Irrational youthful exuberance.

I go from topo to shader or solid in 3 to 3.5 seconds. I see the map using the link in post 28 in 4.5 seconds. I have windows 10 Pro Intel UHD graphics 630

I was thinking of our trip Seven Scenic Savannas. It was south of there. We missed a few savannas on that trip, and could do a different one in same area but not as long.

What do you think is up with that cross-hatch pattern? Kind of like somebody laid a big screen over the land in places and pressed it down. Is that digital generation going on when the lidar is confused? Look at Stormy Hill in 2D mode. It's more pronounced.

You crack me up Al. :p

I never realized there was a gun range behind the Bordentown Gun club. And it's neat that the trail runs from there to Apple Pie hill and it looks like a mountain range in that view.

Boyd, a fen is a type of wetland affected by groundwater. A low area where water can be visible at the surface, but usually covered by plants. Ours are covered in sphagnum moss. Ours are termed "poor" fens because the pinelands don't have a lot of nutrients for plants, unlike most fens in areas...

Good stuff Boyd. I was able to distinguish the little fen I found. I amped the exaggeration up all the way, and you can clearly see it now. An almost imperceptible dip in the landscape, but it is there.

....the fruits of their work. I like the pun Guy. :cool:

Yes, that is true to form. I've been there its sort of a borrow pit to grab sand for the bogs (I think). It's got mounds of sand in there with invasive plants/weeds taking over.

Impressive. No more flat topped hills.

Not my claim Gabe, it's just something I read. However, remember too, that when our ore beds started diminishing, they imported ore from up north. Maybe that ore was in hard chunks.

Yes, but he also cites the "glop" at the bottom of bogs that can be "dug out with shovels". That must mean what is commonly called "muck", which is usually black under ground. The orange color is the iron being oxidized by exposure to oxygen.

I had to chuckle when I read the article in the Pine Barrens Tribune what Harrison said in the town meeting: "The purpose of (this) is not to have kids play soccer, its purpose is to sell sod....Indeed, the very purpose of the soccer tournaments is to have the tournaments played on the turf...

Oddly, in Heart of the Pines, Pearce writes this: "I always thought that the iron-colored rocks lying around the area were the ore dug from the streambeds. Not so. There certainly is iron in the hard sandbeds of the rivers, but it has too much sand mixed with it to be useful. The real "ore"...

I like your answer Boyd! ("Might do that later...").
