It's unusual even to see another person, other than in a passing vehicle, and unless you are at Hawkins, or Godfreys, or one of the other popular spots. I agree pretty much completely with the "silly goose" comment above.

I have a great deal of respect for that approach :).

Wow, what a difference in water levels. No wonder we ran into so many deep puddles. I've seen references to Ives Branch in early documents like the records of John Matthis' land transactions (late 1700's I think). I'm curious now as to the origins of that pond on Ives. But I'm also still...

More on the location I referred to as Tub Mill. I believe I have been misinterpreting the map for some time. I had previously made a correlation between Tub Mill Road and the dammed pond that seemed to be its destination, and without looking closely enough assumed that Tub Mill Branch flowed...

I've heard good things about the Nitto Terra AT Grapplers as a compromise between excellent on- and off-road driveability. I'm considering them for the FJ when I decide to get rid of the crappy stock Bridgestones.

I mounted mine in the truck and connected the power to a block behind the dash. Also led the audio cable around back there and connected to the aux connector of the OEM stereo head unit. It's a nice setup because when I'm in the truck I can take advantage of the 520s high-capacity SD reader and...

Thanks, Bob. Fixed! That was the first time I used the quote links at the bottom of the gallery pages, and didn't think about what size thumbnail I would be getting. Sue, Frank's Ford is just south and east of Hawkins Bridge. You won't have any problems finding it on a map or sat view. The...

Frank's Ford, Ives Branch, and Amatol My buddy's Mom said we were crazy as we headed out the door this morning, and maybe she wasn't far off. We'd been looking at the forecasts and wrapping optimistic words around the number "28", but once we got out there we realized that with the wind we were...

I have the 520 as well and I really like it. Have been using it for three months and have been very impressed. Sort of a clunky interface in places, and the bluetooth support could use some improvements, but overall it's very powerful, and highly accurate from what I can see. I've heard...

Howdy!

TrailOtter, I would have put Four Mile there. The maps I have show Old Halfway being just NW of the Union Clay site, more or less due south of Wheatlands, on the old clay pit that you can still see there. Do you have some different indication?

That's the first sign. Soon, they take flight and attack people living in lonely, windswept locations.

It's one of my favorite words, since my life is so full of it :). The thing that I find interesting is that I generally assume stuff on the ground gets buried over time, from subsidance, accretion, or some combination of the processes. Is that dynamic different in a forest where you have...

Neat stuff, you two. Guy, I have a general curiosity about these markers. Seems like most of them that you post pics of have about the same amount of stone showing up above the detritus. I assume these weren't always low stones? I would have expected them to be buried long ago if so. How far...

Well it would be easy to conjecture from the early activities of Quakers along some of the rivers, and the fact that a lot of them lived in the area and passed through to Tuckerton (if I recall correctly) for meetings. Also, quite a few apparently fell in :).

I've heard that once or twice, Woodjin. Almost like a house cat ran into a Lynx or something, and for all I know that's what it was.

Great pics, Marshstomper. I've never been out to this site, but in general places like this can be so dangerous that you can understand the property-owner not wanting people wandering around. I remember exploring Rose Island in Narragansett Bay years ago. Some friends and I went out there on a...

Here you go. A little southwest of Chatsworth, and very easy to get to. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=39.807287,-74.58954&spn=0.002942,0.005558&t=h&z=18&om=1

I fully support citizen action in such cases. The doughnuts may have been a little overboard, but you can be forgiven a youthful indiscretion :).

Whippoorbill, you are quite the renaissance dude.
