Am I correct that all the stones your finding are off the map you sent me recently? I"ll have to get that plotted so I:m ready for fall or at least till the flies are gone:-) Took a drive in Wharton last week and I had enough around each side mirror to give me lift off if they would have cooperated.

Bridgeton isn't boring at all.I work there,right in the hood.Always an armed robbery or a shooting there almost every week....boring???

From Constable Bridge to the state take out at Pleasnat Mills in a canoe only takes me 45 minutes without stopping.If you go down to the Forks and take out at the end of the dirt road leading south from 542 that might add another half hour? Don't know about Sweetwater.The channel is pretty...

at seven miles an SUV would be visible on a clear day.I"m sure these monsters will be visible much further then that.They have them along Canaan Mountain in WV and depending on what ridge your on they can be seen easily from thirty miles away.

the rivers are cleared with canoeists in mind.You'll find yourself jumping into the creek to get under many trees and crawling over ones that have not been cut in some cases.

I believe the longest linear cave on earth is on the Big Island.It is of course a lava tube and I believe is over twenty miles long straight down the side of Mauna Loa.I forget the name of it.Of course there are many limestone caves that are much longer in distance Mammoth/Flint/Joppa/Toohey...

I"m a caver so I"m into the caves for the caves but yes I have heard about the devastation wreaked on Hawaii's flora and fauna by the advent of the White man.We brought our own critters that mangled the critters brought by the Polynesians.I understand James Cook brought skeeters in casks of...

I love the pic before the last one.The one where the reeds are turned horizontal is great as well.

I wonder if they make a buck off the mulch piles they shred them into.Might be good for paper pulp?

The dikes! I love em! Plenty of wildlife out there,a little south of the core barren but woth the trip.Bring a few crab pots or hand lines as well!

Ever been to the Alakai swamp? Always been a dream trip of mine.That and the Na Pali sea caves

My favorite moment was when I jammed my head between two of them that were about 18 inches apart.I haed one blasting in each ear. It was stereo! Second favorite moment was Bills roll down hill and almost dumping in the creek.Then I realized he had his camera and it suddenly wasn't funny anymore:-)

well the dens are the key.If they find those then they know where to go when they den up. The pine snakes are out in the heat of the day.If it's very hot look for them in the shade,in the morning and evening if it's cool they may bask in the sunlight.Listen more then anything.There is the hiss...

Exactly.If they kill the trees then the woodpeckers will have a field day,in the meantime the open canopy will allow the shrub layer to take off and succession will eventually take care of the damage.They have basically created a desert.yes it will recuperate but not nearly as quickly as if let...

Boyd The state has wiped out several thousand acres of pine oak woods over here in Bevan this past year.Took out a mile of trail that was a favorite walk of me and my wife.It's a desert now.I guess this is how they save the forest from the beetles,cut it down????They then chipped it up.They...

Where is the pine tree? I didn't see it. :-)

Well as Dragon and the sticky says I won't give out den locations on the web and that wouldn't do you any good in August anyway since the snakes are dispersed this time of year.All I can say is watch for them.Most pine snakes I"ve found I found because they run their mouths.The often will hiss...

Boyd speaks wisdom.You may run into critters you have no interest in:-) The Barrens hide their wildlife well insects excepting.The woods are generally so thick that spotting wildlife is a chance occasion.Like I said dawn and dusk are best,night is good too except that us humans don't see very...

Explore Friendship bogs at dawn and dusk.Take a topo or aerial map and know how to use it.It's mazy out there but it's gorgeous,also Tulpehocken Creek from hawkins Bridge upstream is the Barrens answer to the garden of Eden.
