It was very nice to meet you in person! On the way back from Chatsworth I remembered your post, so a friend and I stopped to check out the mystery fungi. When I saw someone right at the trailhead taking a picture, I thought: what are the chances? Great timing. My guess would be just as...

This was on Saturday at a very healthy spot for them. Most were still unopened, but it should look like a carpet of deep blue by now. Will check in on them again.

That's great to hear that they still exist and haven't been lost. It looks like you were on vBulletin back in the day, and then migrated to XenForo circa 2011? I haven't been here very long to know the history - that's just based on what I see in the Wayback Machine. I assume you went through a...

I was also going to ask about this. Looking through old threads, there is a lot of valuable history here that seems to have been lost. Obviously there is nothing you can really do about photos that were hosted on third-party sites, but what happened to the photos in the old forum gallery? If...

I would love to see some new front page posts. A fun one to follow up the post about Buzby's shutting down would be one about how it's now reopened.

You are right that the quality is not up to par with what it used to be, but Wawa hoagies are still alright. I will still crush an Italian or a Honey Turkey any day of the week. You get a hoagie there primarily for the extremely high convenience factor - there is a Wawa in any direction you're...

I just drove by earlier today and was wondering why it was closed. That's terrible.

Cool photos! I would also associate seeing the halo with winter. I think it usually happens due to ice crystals rather than water droplets. I got a shot of it as well: This was not taken in the pines, though. I was up in coastal Maine last week. It was exceptionally clear out that night.

I actually just watched this yesterday. I guess it's making the rounds through the recommendation algorithm. Neat video, the sound editing adds a lot to it. The guy at the beginning wearing a full suit at the beach in Florida - just wow. Hard to imagine such a time.

The smoke is back today.

In a day or two some satellite imagery should come up on Planet Labs that will show the extent in detail. Currently there's nothing available for the area in question since Saturday. Edit: Imagery from yesterday at 11:54AM is now available. It looks like there are several separate areas still...

Looks like they're getting it well under control. When this is all finished, maybe it will open some opportunities for exploration back there.

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I didn't smell it in the house until the last hour or so, and now it's pretty intense. The wind must be pushing it this way. Going to put the HEPA filter into overdrive yet again.

Very smoky here as well. Was wondering where this was located.

No worries. I don't want to derail the thread here.

It does not work properly for me on Firefox or Chrome across multiple platforms and devices (Linux, Windows, Android). All of them link to somewhere in the middle of one of the previous posts with the pictures of Ace Campground and Lower Forge. Also, if it was meant to be an image embed in the...

I was fascinated by Guy's photo from 1958 in this thread. (Linking to a specific post in this thread does not work properly due to a forum software bug, but if you scroll down you'll see it). Edited by Teegate: Here it is. Atsion_Mansion_1955s_2012.jpg

John McPhee recounts it a bit differently: He also recounts Fred Brown's (I'm guessing fanciful) version: This is all taking place decades after the event, though. I would believe the contemporary account over these stories.
