My younger son graduates from Millersville U tomorrow and I went up last night to truck and trailer all of his life's belongings back home before this hit. We have to go back tomorrow for the ceremony at 1:00 p.m.. Should make for a scenic drive through the Amish farmlands.

I'll try to find out today or tomorrow.

Who is the owner of Wescoat ? Would it be Miller? PM if necessary.

I had dendrology in the winter and almost everything I learned is based on bark and buds. I say a mature white oak based on the bark in the photo. The tree has no uniform, furrowed pattern to it as a tulip poplar would have. This typical of tulip poplar...

Not much of a birder myself when it comes to the non-eating variety but this picture from Flickr of a juvenile Cooper's Hawk sure looks like the original subject's twin brudder. http://www.flickr.com/photos/musicarver/2274733302/ :)

Looks like a great one boys and the weather was golden. Bob made the right call. Guy, the photos are very nice. I was sorry I had to miss this one but I did enjoy myself in the high country of the northern Pennsylvania deer woods in a rustic, cigarette smoke filled deer camp with a bunch of...

That is a very interesting read Bob. It is surprising how quickly they deteriorated without water. I wonder how long it would have been before they resorted to Filet O'Rich if they had ample fresh water ?

Don't fall asleep if we get lost my friend. ;)

What is that soft, crumbling sound I hear ? Oh, it's just the slag heap seeking a fresh angle of repose. :)

Here's a site I use occassionally in work for survey data. NJACTB: New Jersey Association of County Tax Boards. It's free. http://www.njactb.org/ Select record search at the top. You can easily see what your neighbors pay in taxes and it is searchable by name, address, block or lot. Just...

As promised, here are two more pics of our own HD Y-Buc Bill on the sand ridges between the Sleeper and the Mullica in 1950. Keep in mind that the early Harleys were "suicide" shifts with the shifter on the left side of the tank. To shift you had to let go of the left bar and work the...

Gabe, Bill is very specific in his descriptions and he says it was the Sleeper, not the canal that he was crossing. I am going to post two more photos tonight that shows the high sand ridges between the Sleeper and the Mullica. Thanks for posting the other information. I know I had seen...

I got two more photos tonight of Bill blasting through the sand ridges between the Sleeper and the Mullica on the same day the other photos were taken in 1950. I will scan tomorrow and post tommorow night. Scott

My best guess is right around 625 lbs. for Bill's 45. Bill's bike was a 45 cu. in. (750 cc) flathead. The 1947 EL Knucklehead weighed in at 650 lbs and was a 61 cu.in. model with the same rigid frame and front springer setup.

I am really interested in learning more about the huge lake created by the damming of the Mullica. I don't recall much ever being discussed here about it. It disappeared between 1930 and 1940. It was one hell of a lake and the canal was part of the operation in some way too. I can only...

I think the bridge you show Guy is the existing bridge location over the canal on what is West Mill Road. The road I took down through the lake bed yesterday cuts off of West Mill a few hundred yards before (east of) the West Mill Road canal crossing. It was exactly as Bill described. Here is...

Yesterday, I set out with the dog to find and photograph the area where the photo of Y-Buc Bill crossing a stream on his flathead HD was taken. This was a stream crossing taking place in 1950. If you recall from my post in the recreation forum, Bill had responded and said that the...

It's still there Jeff. Hover your mouse over aerial and a dropdown appears with options for regular or birdseye. Another change appears to be that you can't kill off the left side of the screen. Scott

You only need the blaze when hunting Al. Jersey allows just a hat too whereas states like PA., require chest, back and head. (vest and hat) Here is a list of all the state's rules. http://www.ihea.com/hunter-education/hunter-orange-requirements.php Still quite a few that have it as...

Amen John. My father was a WWII vet and nothing in this world made him more proud. Scott
