Wow, that's awful. It's hard to look at the picture of the girl who died holding her baby. I have seen guys on those bikes go flying so fast down a fire line I can't even tell what color clothes they're wearing. Whenever I see somebody zip by me on a bike in the woods, I always think to myself ...

I had so much to eat at the Jamboree today I overheard a kid say to his mother, "Hey mom, what did the Hindenburg look like?" She pointed at me and said, "Like that." :D

You mean Dicktown is named after John Dick, not Michael Moore?

I usually make this event every year. I got there about 80 minutes before it closed and proceeded to chow down on gourmet cupcakes, kettlecorn, and a sandwich from Lucille's. I could have used a rickshaw to take me back to my truck. :D

When it's late July in the pines and 20 deer flies are circling my head, gnats are diving into my eyes, sweat is rolling down my cheeks and I'm avoiding stepping on weeds like they're land mines because I know any one of them could be housing a hundred chiggers hoping to dine on me for lunch, I...

I put a bug bomb in my truck once to kill chiggers. Then I spent the next half hour trying to calm passersby who thought that my truck was on fire. Man, you should have seen all the white smoke pouring out of it. Word quickly spread throughout the chigger kingdom to stay the hell out of my truck! :D

The Weather Channel is predicting a low of 30 degrees on Friday morning. You know what that means? BUH-BYE CHIGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Chatsworth NJ USNJ0085:1:US

I feel sorry for you folks who were kids in 1983. You never got a chance to vote for Ronald Reagan. :)

Wait...I don't want to cramp your style! Maybe your vernacular fits today's culture perfectly? I don't know what's going on out there in the culture today. I live in a cocoon. I don't watch much TV. In fact, the last TV series I followed was M*A*S*H*. I hang around with people who have little...

Looks good, PW (can I call you PW? :D) Nice pictures, good descriptions. I did notice two typos in the second to the last paragraph. You said: (Me likely the crystal clear water) I think you meant, "Me like the crystal clear water?" You said: I then parked the car to yonder. "yonder" should be...

It's true. There are some strange people who hang around Menantico Sand Ponds. I go there. :D There were some burglaries years ago when the vehicles of fishermen were broken into while they were out on one of the ponds fishing but, according to the Park policeman I spoke to, he said the few...

Are you a ghost writer? :D

Adam, unless you hire a team of Sherpas or a herd of llamas, kayak karl is right, you're a car camper, not a backpacker. Another suggestion for you would be to camp out at one of the state parks like Bass River. You can rent a primitive wilderness campsite for $20 a nite. If my memory serves...

Corned beef hash...YES! I only backpack in cooler weather and it is a tradition to always have corned beef hash for breakfast. There's nothing like firing up my little pocket rocket backpacking stove on a chilly morning and hearing the sizzle in the pan and inhaling that marvelous comfort food...

Considering the infrastructure of that city, that hole really doesn't look all that bad. I wonder if anybody from China Has come flying out of it? :D

It's true that they wouldn't let me smile when I had my photo taken at the NJ DMV, but they did let me wear a burqa. lmao

If the economy gets any worse, I might be living in that tree trunk. :(

Chiggers are dormant when the temperature is in the 40's & 50's, and they're history for the season after the first frost. I can only recall one time I got a tick on me in temperatures below 40. For the most part the ticks are pretty dormant in temperatures below 50 and they really don't start...

No masks, but after the second time they beat me up they were kind enough to share the short cut they used to get ahead of me. I used that short cut the next time I hiked that trail, but unfortunately I stepped on a bear trap somebody must have accidentally dropped. :D

LOL!
