Haha.. sounds like the duck commander.

Cigs...

Like most nature lovers, I always associate spring with certain wildlife. I saw the huge moon on the horizon last night so we took the dog for a walk in the pines at dusk. The whippoorwills were at it. Heard a great horned owl shortly after. By the time we reached the truck the coyotes were...

Yep, just in time for the trout season opener tomorrow. I think I'll pass on fishing this weekend and skip the crowds. I'll be fishing and camping the following weekend up in bear country though. Hitting up the Big Flatbrook up by Stokes State Forest. Seen plenty of the furry guys up in that...

Not exactly what we're discussing, but we have a friend in the Seattle area and I know that both Oregon and Washington state often have bans on all wood burning stoves if the air quality is poor. I think this is just in the cities and their burbs and usually only lasts a few days or a week. Not...

You mean all indoor wood stoves in the country? I definately dont see that ever occuring. The EPA works with a panel of other experts, including stove manufactoring companies, and actually promotes the entire industry so long as their agency approves the stoves. A change like that would take...

Well, I guess we wont be seeing her again. lol

Ouch. Rule of thumb for beginners or just for practicing is to tie a piece of bright colored yarn to the tip of your line so you can see where your casts are landing (no hook involved). Id also advise casting in an open field or large yard before taking your skills to the river or lake... That...

Al, you are correct on reaching it from the south. It is an easy walk from Bamber. Funny, the misses and I always called it the Serengeti too. There is still a small hill there known as Preacher's Hill. It looks like that is where Guy's photos were taken. Its a really neat area and there is a...

Orvis sounds like a good place to start. I dont think Id pay money for a casting class. They're pretty expensive and you would do just fine by purchasing a casting dvd for under $20 (try Cabelas or Orvis). Then you can work on your own. When you feel comfortable, I would hire a guide to take...

Wonder what the downstairs looks like after over 30 years working the corner? Actually, no I dont. lol

Not sure about the cross Gipsie, but the memorial in the photos above is for the brother of a neighbor of mine in Bamber Lake. I think he passed away down in Texas, but always enjoyed FRM... a nice gesture.

My new silverado has the active fuel management system and claims to get 21 hwy miles. If thats true, its more than my dodge dakota v6 was giving me, which i think was 17 or 18.

Great.. I bought a new Silverado Friday night. :eek: However, I know the older Fords were built "ford tough," but when I was researching my trucks recently, it seemed like the Chevy was the way to go these days. I was steered towards Chevy from two friends, both of whom are mechanics (neither...

Happy Patty's Day all!!!

I passed that area a few times in the past week or two and was wondering the same. Must be private land, but hopefully not buildable. It may be something like we discussed not too long ago on this thread (Jersey Devil had some great insight in his post here)...

If the tower is manned, they will almost always allow you in. I think itd be pretty neat to bring a kid up there, as the guys are very friendly and informative on the burns and the area. Theyll show you some maps and let you use their binoculars to see the other towers and any fires that may...

Thanks for the story, Dogg. I went to the link you provided and read most of it. Only thing I'd point out is when the writer mentions the "no colors" sign at the Town Tavern it seems they thought it was a race thing when in fact it is directed at bikers and other gangs who wear patches and...

Thanks for the link. I remember that name and the picture says it all. I also now remember having to turn around after the bar to go back to 206. Thanks a lot guys. I'll carve your names in the stall. lol

I probably enjoy hitting dive bars in the pines as much as I enjoy exploring the trails and historical sites. Anyway, last summer I had to take a series of detours from Green Bank to Shamong when the bridges were out. I ended up on rt 3o and think I was south of 206. I passed a really neat...
