"People have always filled empty parts of maps with their imaginations and debated over information gaps. The difference this time is that the explorers are amateurs on their home computers. For the most part, they’re having fun along the way."...

Santa has delivered a new topo map to the server, just in time for Christmas! When looking at the current lineup on boydsmaps.com, I decided it really needed a new traditional-style topo map. My original idea was just to do a "light" version of the 2020 dark topo and that would have been a...

(It happened around 10:30 last night) As the years pass, I appreciate this day more and more. I like knowing that each day will be a little brighter. Right now, the noonday sun barely makes it above the tree line at my place!

Taken at about 8 AM in the Peaslee WMA, temperature holding steady at the overnight low of 60 degrees (going up to around 80 later today). Back on the paved roads, it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the jackasses who don't think you need to slow down when visibility is less than 100 ft. ;)

"The Northeast doesn’t have a well-defined set of expectations during an El Niño winter. The region can be milder overall like its other northern counterparts, but it can also be at the mercy of robust coastal storms moving along the Atlantic Coast." "A very strong El Niño during the 2015-2016...
