Pretty funny that he caught that, Jerseyman. The fellow has a future as a proofreader if he's ever out of work. I write some short stories, have written a good number of technical articles on software development, one or two personal memoir-type pieces. I'd love to do a novel, but I find it...

Such appreciation for so small a paragraph. Thanks :). I love to write (or as Ludlum said "I love having written"), but I can assure you all that it's a talent that has put very few beans in the pot. Maybe one or two beans.

I did indeed! And thanks for the kind words :). You too, Bob. I happen to be in the thick of "Jersey Genesis" at the moment, and it's a wistful feeling to realize that it was all fading away when Beck wrote about it, back in the 50's. I'm sure many of the tales came from conversations that...

I always figured fire deserved the most blame for clearing out remains of historic structures. KCB, I think the allure of the pines (aside from the solitude and natural beauty) for history buffs lies more in the faded fingerprints of past times that are everywhere in the woods. Cellar holes...

Cool, thanks! I forgot to go back to that thread after I popped in once and saw the broken links.

Do they have any historic maps, Jerseyman?

Hey guys, the other day when I was out in the woods my friend Jack and I got ourselves onto Hays Crossway, south of the Bulltown Bogs. As I mentioned in another thread it isn't much of a road, but we managed to get most of the way along. Today in Jersey Genesis I was reading the chapter on...

That place is amazing, Stu. Never heard of it before now.

Especially given where he was coming from. Unlikey he drove any further than he felt he had to.

They are messages to extraterrestrial deer.

Oh, well are you talking about your places, or the ones delivered by the servers? As far as I know those are all under c:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth. You should also find the runtime cache of images, icons, models, etc., under c:\Documents and Settings\[your_user]\Local...

Typically... C:\Documents and Settings\[your_user]\Application Data\Google\GoogleEarth

Up in the woods northwest of Ottawa where my folks have a house and some land, they drag old cedar logs off the bottom of the Gatineau river. My Dad bought some of this milled into six-inch wide floorboards. It's beautiful stuff.

I'll write something, Ben, if noone else has anything in the works. Don't want to duplicate effort. How many words, you figure?

I don't know how this will sound, but I'm oddly relieved to learn that she knew him, and that it was probably a case of a really bad relationship that got worse. You hate to think of random abductions and that kind of thing. I have three daughters, and this kind of tragedy always weighs heavily...

Guy, is that a fresh blowdown in the background of your second pic?

That's just terrible.

I really believe this is an up-the-ante play. They're not going to close parks in a state that has been going hog wild for land preservation. If word gets around that this is serious lawmakers will be innundated with angry constituents.

Thanks for posting these clarifications. I went back and re-read the article, and you know what, I think the CP deserves a big raspberry for the way they headlined that. If you look at the list of facilities in the right-hand column it is headlined: Nine New Jersey state parks that would...

Heh, seems a little... I don't know... dishonest?
