Great writing, also!

Don, much thanks for these stories that I probably would have never heard otherwise. Living folklore right here on the forum! Did you hear this story from anyone else? I wonder how far back this tradition might go. Any more info you can provide would be more than welcome. I am very tempted...

Lots of goodies in the Batsto area.

Don, can you tell us more about the ghost story of Johnny O'Dea?

Very tempting. I had trimmed 2 songs from the album, but perhaps I can write two more in their stead. This is a great story and even a great song title. Don, can you tell us about The Lady on the Dam? That too would make a great title.

Don and all, Does anyone know what the pond just to the right of the arrow was used for?

Very well-said, Jeff.

Welcome, Maggie. "This relatively small area simply cannot absorb the impacts it is faced with today." What exactly do you mean? "There has been a suggestion that because some of these are roads have been open for 200 years that they should remain so. That may be so, but 200 years ago, they...

It was certainly there in the 70's, but it wasn't there in 1970. I think a few steep fines would go a long way.

The road was not there in 1970, judging from historic aerials. Jemima is actually great example of what is wrong with the MAP.

It just seems to me that if they are going to sit and wait, it should be in the woods at a trouble spot, like Jemima.

Thanks, Guy. Any chance you can post a picture? Also, who owned the land in 1803?

Yes, I see. It would seem that the Wescoat Bogs did not exist in 1880, based on this excerpt.

But they've been sitting in that one spot clocking passing cars.

I'd say that is a rather curious use of law enforcement considering recent developments in Wharton.

563 wasn't closed off at the intersection yesterday.

So what's with the Park Police waiting at the intersection of Rt. 679 and Rt. 563 clocking traffic? Doesn't seem right.

Me!!

Nice find, Spung-Man! That is a description of Wescoat Bogs. Tracker Jim and I were just poking around there today. The Mechescatuxen loses a significant amount of water to Sleepy Creek, which largely explains its extremely modest discharge into the Atsion Creek.

I concur. Based on what I've heard from Rob, the State would eventually like to put in place restrictions that would almost make these closures seem modest. Such restrictions would include, as Guy mentioned, limiting foot traffic to established trails as well as limiting canoe/kayak/boat...
