Dead on to my eye. I wonder about that one out-of-place street at the bottom, sw-to-ne. Think it was cut across later? I can't really tell if it is hiding the outlines of streets that hew more to the property map.

Thanks. I love a mystery :). Just another stillborn real estate empire I guess. Would they really have placed monuments at the end of every street? If so it ought not to be too hard to find some of them.

See my edit above. If you scroll in on that view I posted you'll see Parker Country Rd, and can still see the outlines of the streets laid out roughly as in the map image the OP posted. Edit: correction, you can see Parker Country Rd. in GE, but not Google Maps. You can see the outlines of...

Check out the Google sat view the OP posted and zoom out a little. On 539 east and a little south of Oswego Lake. Edit: ok, OP, I think you are off to the north by a few miles. Check out the area in the center of this view. The slight sandy road curving northeast toward a large clearing is...

Heh, kind of a strange pursuit, but there's no accounting for what people find interesting.

Well, in general that is caused by vehicle traffic. Like the moguls on a ski run once they get started they tend to grow, as the oscillations of whatever heavy thing is going by push more material out of the troughs and up onto the shoulder of the next mound. For skiers it's more deliberate, but...

Yeah, we also noticed that one he gave up on :). He certainly doesn't mind tackling large trees. We decided he was just working his teeth down.

Received a couple of stills from my friend. Here is the better of the two, so you guys can get a sense of the size of the tree and the freshness of the cut. Thumbnail links to full-size in the gallery.

I agree with you, although I think over historic time a lot of them disappear.

Welcome aboard, and happy New Year :).

Yeah, it does look like metal on close inspection of the images. There are some slightly shiny and rounded features that give it away. As for the hole, I agree that the images aren't conclusive. If it goes all the way through then it could have been a middle post, and at least I would not have...

Well, it's gold with red heartwood, so it looks pretty fresh to me. New-cut cedar should grey in about a season I think, and this didn't look very weathered at all. There were a number of examples of earlier cuts in the surrounding wood and they were all weathered gray. The ones we assumed were...

Finally made it out to Nash's cabin today. Nice day all around, with the rain letting up and the sun coming out after noon. The roads were a little sloppy but nothing out of the ordinary. A certain buck-toothed resident of the pond at the cabin site has been very busy. There was one large (8" or...

Sweet! Thanks very much for uploading that.

Agreed, great photos all around. If you've got a hi-res version of that sunset I would love to have it as a wallpaper :).

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year one and all!

I always wondered about these. Thought they were drainage. Thanks for the explanation!

Good question. Many of the latest developments in nuclear power generation are innovations the U.S. has not taken advantage of because of our virtual moratorium on the building of new plants.

Damn those little bastards are hardy.

Well I think the distinction should be between those who use the roads and trails for access, and enjoy exploring and getting out into the woods, and those for whom the woods are a neat place to burn some fossil fuel and get some thrills. I don't have any problem with the former group, and dont'...
