It's certainly more important than Olgas, which declined tremendously in recent years. Last time I was through there it looked closed.

Interesting. What corporate entity inherited the policy obligation?

Thing is, people still live around there, and I'm sure they aren't all that happy with Wierd NJ-inspired freakologists driving up and down the road there at night. I agree, they don't own the road, but common courtesy would suggest staying away at night. It's fine to drive through, but you...

I think he was referring to the prison camp for boys.

Definitely don't go wandering into the pines at night if you don't know your way around. Apple Pie Hill is much more impressive in the daylight anyway, unless you're looking for some place to party and throw stuff off of a high tower, which too many people seem to be doing these days. Go in the...

Check out Celestia if you like this kind of thing. It's amazing, and free.

No kidding, eh? A little early for this gloomy, gray, cool weather.

The phrase "representing himself" is a strong indicator of wackiness for me. Not conclusive... but strong.

I can see that. The rotary forces everyone to slow down and merge at least twice. But have they studied incidents of road rage near rotaries? I bet not! ;)

I lived off of Kresson near Cropwell for five years in the 1980's. I think I remember Mrs. London's, but perhaps I am thinking of the next one north on 73, near Church. Sounds like she was the victim of some local resentment. The area has changed so much even in the time since I left. Back...

Thanks for the background info, Jerseyman. When we returned from the woods that day my buddy Jack typed "S&FB Co." into Google and found some of that backstory. We were impressed :). Someone had a situation similar to MuckSavage, where they had some of these bricks and wondered about them, and...

Welcome to both of you :). We'll look forward to seeing those pics JerseyGirl.

Great pics, James. I want to get down to Amatol soon and explore. The Sooy gravestone picture you posted is fascinating.

I was sprayed down with it last time I was out, but still got a few chigger bites on my left ankle. I didn't spray my socks, but did spray my boots. Next time out I will spray my socks before I put my boots on.

The company made bricks from the 1860's I think, so there could be S&F bricks from a wide range of dates. Yeah, it was a total of 45 miles, approximately. We entered at Hampton Road off of 206 and popped out on Stage Rd. (or Leekstown, not sure) south of Munion Field. In between we wandered...

Mine (ankles too) took about 4-5 days to really feel normal again.

What a great idea. I always spray down first, but this sounds like a great tip.

Repel Permanone is armor against ticks. Walmart sells it in the camping goods section for about $6 a can. They also sell 40% DEET sprays and 100% DEET rollons. Apply the Permanone to your clothing and outer gear ONLY. I usually spray down socks, outsides of boots, pants to the waist, back of...

Well, there's no question what that error means: the server that is receiving the message thinks the recipient doesn't exist. Why that's the case I don't know. It's nothing on your PC, but it could possibly be the network your PC is connected too. Long shot, but the only other answer is that the...

Agreed, Aaron. That pretty much nails it, or a good chunk of it anyway. The policies that are perceived as compassionate actually prolong and support the dysfunction. Policies that would encourage the right trends are seen as heartless.
