As I recall there is an oak-pine forest near that pond pictured, the topography rises. Was there severe gypsy moth damage? Jeff

Nice report Guy. Those ponds (which I believe are just smaller versions of the old halfway pits) are very cool! High banks. There is a natural pond/boarderline spong (I am pretty sure it is natural) right near old half way that few people see that is also particularly interesting. Do you...

I was thinking that also (charcoal pits) but they seemed too numerous. I wasn't sure of the distance/perspective of the photo either. Jeff

Whoop de whoop...too redundant. Although after about a 1/2 mile whoop de doos are redundant themselves. The "whoop" is the drop as you enter the whoop de doo. The "de" is the impact (note the hard D sound) as you hit the bottom of the dip and the "doo" is the elevation as the bike ascends the...

Looks like all the enduro guys are coming out of the woodwork:mrgreen: the pine barrens are great for riding. For one thing...no rocks!!! Never liked rocks. Just don't care for them is all I am saying (I do like sand stone though). Sand and mud I do like, always have!! there is something...

Very nice Bob!! Did you find this in a regular haunt of yours or a new area? Jeff

Very thoughtful and thought provoking response Mark! I would agree with you on this. I know where you are coming from Bob (you radical hippie), I can't believe the way some people spend money. I know someone who spent $25,000.00 to have their living room redecorated. They also bought...

Neat!! I used to have a 600cc enduro that was real heavy and taking on the sugar sand was the same deal...staying on the gas and taking it fast. I used to feel like the sand was water and the whoop-de-doos were like waves. One thing I have always done with any dual sport bike I've had is...

Very nice pics!! It is hard to tell from the last photo, but those look more like advanced stage tadpoles rather than fish (just before they get the legs) But other wise probably johnny darters. Jeff

LIP, didn't you present us with this same problem last year? I thought we had you all cleared up with vasoline?

Most of these formations were glacial and the small stones you saw (provided it wasn't blue stone) was Beacon hill gravel...deposits are found in the uplands and are especially common at higher elevations. Jeff

the 1800's were certainly a time when the term piney was derogatory. At least to the rest of the world, and I suspect a name not embraced by the pineys themselves. Piney, or pine hawks or even pine rats all carried the same negative implications. Thanks for sharing that excerpt! Jeff

There a number of areas like you described. They (gypsy moths) have moved onto the pines and in some areas the pines are naked. The lebanon ranger station area comes to mind. jeff

The BTK they have been spraying is starting to work, they are getting slow and dying off. That BTK is very difficult to get off car finishes and deck furniture though. Also the planes at 5:30am 10 feet above my roof are a bit of an annoyance. Jeff

Bill, very interesting recollections of yours!! How rough did those early enduros get? Did it get real tight and muddy like today? Also, did you guys have knobby tires at all, or were you able to modify your tires? Really interesting stuff. Jeff

Opps, I think all of those shots were at Oswego lake, but we did get to Harrisville pond also, and he did warm up to the toe dipping thing pretty quick!

This past Sunday was my first Father's Day. My wife and I took the little guy (Jack) to Oswego lake for his first cedar water experience. I like this shot. I was in about thigh high water put it got cut off in the pic. You can clearly see he approves!!! His first toe dipping...

Bob would know, but the greenwood WMA surrounds it. Maybe carusoville is different because of vandalism problems. Piker, it is your call but I wouldn't sweat it...fishing at night. How accessible is the winslow WMA to fish and game wardens? Jeff

Really, really good photos Steve!!!! I too am a washing machine standing veteren. Is there anybody who has been there since the burn and not stood on the washing machine? I bet the sales guy who sold that machine years ago would have never guessed that it would become a landmark in the...
