I had a truck driver who bragged about the size of the deer antlers from his neighborhood, just in from barnegat. Said they were all the size of a german shepard...had a bunch of kids & they all hunted. He had 3 freezers in the garage... He brought a hatchback full of huge antlers just to...

GOOP is sold in Auto sections, Boating places & more. it is good stuff.

I had my first Pocono tick at age 5. I was 50 when I found my next one! Late May; during Spring Gobbler Season, just warm enough to not have the polypro bottoms tucked into my socks...you sit on the ground against a rock or tree and close to all that new spring growth and you find ticks...

I have experienced Lymes disease. Caught a case around 1997 when I went off a local trail to bushwack around to spy on some deer in a field...didn't think anything of it at the time. About 1.5 weeks later I felt 'off' enough to visit the doctor who could not find anthing wrong and said I came...

Same difference. In the 60's I used to see my father removing washboard sections of asphalt w/ a Littleford 'plainer-grader' a kerosene burning monster that melted the top few inches of the asphalt & graded it off. It pre-dates the new 'milling' machines they now use to grind it away which...

corduroy was a colonial road buiding method. The timber stack still allows water to percolate thru. I don't know how today's 'tree hugging' population would take them but I've seen this type of construction used to repair a swampy spot on a pipeline so utility trucks could reach the rest of the...

The metal railroad car part is a brake shoe. These are often discarded wherever the car knocker replacced one. It may be one from the wreck & may not...

I grabbed Duracell NiMH @ Wall Mart, Had 'em on display a 4 pack w/ charger. Bought two sets @ 14.00 each. I used them in my E-Trex legend for spring turkey hunting. TWO lasted all day in the GPS, We've been using them in the digital camera too...

We used to stay & fish in Ontario off the Rideau, off the Beverlies, at a small group of cottages named 'shawmere' on Red Horse lake; east of Sealey's bay. Saw alot of black 'grey' squirrels. My grandfather started visiting up there in the 40's and they always remeber seeing them in that area...

Quarter sawn white cedar makes great Canoe Ribs...

I saw an episode of 'The New Yankee Workshop' where they did just that mined cedar from southern swamps. There is a commercial business doing it somewhere along the gulf coast. Norm made a nice project from the wood he purchased. these were cedar trees that were submerged by long ago storms...

During college we used to camp at Round Valley at the prmitive sites across from the day area. Since we were only allowed (2) parked cars per site we'd get around 10 sites and have 20 - 30 campers who would congregate in one site. Aroudn 10 PM you'd hear the ranger's boat roar out into the...

Lagoons were State of the art in 1959...they're all listed superfund sites today. The US military complex was one of the worst polluters thru Vietnam. Now they're the largest customer base for remediation firms...Courts rulled that they wern't exempt from EPA regs...Changed 'em 100% I once...

They range over approx 100 sq. miles. If left alone and esablished to an area it will roam by every 2 - 3 days...They are also opportunistic, should one find a good garbage dump; it will frequent that meal daily...PA wildlife guys say a 'fed' bear is a dead bear...last state record was shot near...

They found something and NJ took some action which is part of the public record. They have a web page where you can look up contaminated sites by town. It is an eye opener to read... Rural agricutlural places had ground contamination from leaking fuel tanks. Burried abandoned autos would get...

NFRAP...Sounds like they considered the contamination too small to really need remediation - or - they capped/isolated =/or removed what HAD to be removed. Now they'll monitor the ground water, if necessary, and open the site to brownfield re-use...oops pinelands commission use...They're done w/...

Other than being the ugliest bird in the woods; most of their calls resemble chalk being dragged on a slateboard...chills up & down your spine... That was Cranford where they had some agressive/territorial tom turkeys during the start of the breeding in mid April...NY News showed annimal...

Where's the south park icon when you want to say "Blame Canada!"

The turnpike [to exit 11] is fine, it moves along between 60 and 90 and the traffic flows OK. then I take the GSP from 129 to 138. It's only 12 miles or so [exit 138 is really mm 140.1] and is usually the longest part of the trip. It's 5 lanes wide and some are doing 55 while the rest try to go...

I live in East Windsor and find it to be one dividing line. The south east section is still mostly rural and hunting is allowed yet it's up against Millstone...the yuppie capital of SW Monmouth County...I grew up in Easton, Pa and at age 18 I was learning to be familiar with the bars, taverns &...
