Snowing up in Morris County since early this morning, but not really sticking yet. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Don't forget to include the neighbors, his kids, any other pets he might own. I really don't understand the impulse to own these types of animals.

My own feeling is that things which have been lost on public land should be free for anyone to find, and I admit to a little resentment at the idea that lost history is not to be looked for unless you're a professional. On the other hand, I assume that these rules evolved because they had a lot...

Munyon Field, Calico, the pumping station, Old Halfway, Red Oak Grove, Aserdaten (Dutch for "bare sandy place").

We did have a brief flurry up here on the mountain last Monday when it was raining, but it was so brief that I am undecided as to whether it counts as the first snow. We're at 1100 feet, which is about as high as it gets up here in the nw corner, so I think the question remains open.

It's hard to be a lover of history and nature, and remain an admirer of humanity.

Missed this thread when it first started. I live about 35 minutes from the gap, and spend a lot of time up there. I believe I have explored and photographed every one of the abandoned structures from Port Jervis to I-80 on both sides of the river. The whole story is a very sad one to me...

Yeah, I agree. It looks good Ben. It seems to get better every time you work on it :).

Cool, thanks for following up. I could have collected them myself, but we were a little wary not knowing whether it was for a past event, or something else, so we left them.

I have some pics on my phone to go with this, but I haven't been able to find a micro sd card in the cracks at the bottom of my desk drawer, so I haven't uploaded them yet. Anyway, was out east of High Crossing on that road that runs over to Carranza south of the tracks. Came up on a clearing...

It's always hard to figure out what is an emerging problem, and what is change that you can't do anything about. The Internet is something my Dad and I argue about often. He's right about all the negatives, but my point is that the negatives don't matter. Gutenberg's invention frightened the...

Open source 256-bit military-grade encryption for the win.

Some great shots in there. Many I have seen before but quite a few I haven't. I especially like deciphering the script on the old postcards. A few "thee's" in the ones from Moorestown.

Heh, 8 was my least favorite. So many trees that it devolves into a texture, which is not a bad thing in and of itself, but doesn't convey much visually beyond the quality of the texture.

There are too many of them to execute in that manner, at least around my place. I just scoop them up in a cupped hand and throw them back outside. I should start marking them to see how many come back in. Bob, I once ate a whole handful of ants, but not on purpose. We lived in upstate NY and...

Well I agree with that, but most owners in suburbia anyway don't do those things to ensure proper socialization, and its just not natural for a dog to be alone all day in an empty house or yard. They can deal with it if it is handled properly, but in my experience it most often isn't.

Something with cranberries or blueberries in it would be a good start!

Dogs are meant to roam, and they are social creatures. The average suburban dog living alone and fenced in, or worse inside the house all day while the family is at work/school, is basically psychotic. Having more than one greatly eases the mental strain for them, but still the complete lack of...

I'll /sign this petition.

I don't think there's much question about the causality. There are a number of respected works that agree on the basic forces at play. See "Vanishing Iron Works of the Ramapos" by Ransom if you can find a copy, or "Family Empire in Jersey Iron" by Pierce for more of a pine barrens slant. There...
