White Plains area, believe it or not head just a mile or two out of the City of White Plains and you might as well be well upstate. Saxon Woods: They even have deer here! Silver Lake, just one mile northeast of White Plains. Trail around the lake.

Decided to get out of the pine barrens, and off Long Island entirely this week a couple of times. I was amazed at how much more land has been preserved up in Westchester county, and how the development has been confined to towns and cities, leaving the lands around them mostly untouched. There...

Was watching CNN and they had Queen Rania of Jordan on. Where can I find girls like this? More specifically, where can I find some petite brown eyed beauties who like the pine barrens? :pigfly:

Of course I am amazed at how large the fires are there, the smoke plume looks more like volcanoes erupting, traveling nearly 1000 miles out into the Pacific Ocean. Now they say it may cover the whole southwest! I believe that such natural disasters unfortunately are part of the lifecycle of...

And I'm not just talking red flag ones either. I imagine it is even hotter in New Jersey than up here on Long Island. We have been in the 80s for like 5 days straight, plus humidity. Today was a killer, temps almost reaching 90 and many records broken. I really wish people would hear me out on...

A Weather Channel meteorologist has found that it isn't our imagination, ridges of high pressure are indeed becoming more frequent and persistant. http://climate.weather.com/blog/9_13685.html Crisp fall air...not a chance, the bermuda high stays put right through the next 10 days. Check out...

The new "edited" versions of Man Vs. Wild show what I suspected, he doesn't actually sleep in the wild, and even some of the food is "set up", ie the rabbit was put there and not actually caught in the snare. I still like the show, it is some interesting entertainment, but not a story. Bear...

http://www.nysun.com/article/63115?page_no=1 I don't drive and don't even have a non-driver ID, they make it very hard for me, a US citizen to get one. Here in NY you need a photo ID, social security card, mail with your name and address on it, bank statements and a birth certificate. It...

Well tomorrow is Sept.11, I can't say the pain gets any better with time. It's still a tough day to get through. I still can't believe the towers collapsed and all those innocent people died. Last year I was hiking in the piney woods over in Rocky Point, and stopped at the times the towers...

Anyone watch the series on The History Channel? I think the whole thing is pretty crazy. I do not like the way they are tearing up the tundra up there, all this for...diamonds? It's pretty sad what folks support just to "look good". I'll make it a point not to purchase diamonds, I dont need them...

And saw something crawling in the dead weeds just by the platform. Saw a few of them, managed to get a photo. Actually two photos.

Has Wendy's recently shrunk the size of the junior hamburger? I noticed the past couple of times the wrapper is so much bigger than the burger. There's hardly any meat and they dont use those big onion slices like the used to. Dave T would not be happy with the way his chain is being run. Now I...

Lo and behold I go for just a few feet in tall grass and the ticks are all over my bag (but not on my treated clothes). I can't be so sure they were ticks, they were brownish reddish, very small, and crawled fast. Maybe they were chiggers. All I know is I spend the better part of 20 minutes...

All that smoke cant be from the NJ fires? It could be from the fires out west, perhaps?

I use Cablevision but am getting fed up with them. The internet and phone from them are good, but the TV is a joke. To rub it in they just added 10 more HD channels, but haven't added any SD channels in ages. They dont carry BBC America, NASA-TV, and a bunch of other channels. I dont plan on...

I was at Brookhaven State Park in the Long Island pine barrens on June 15th. It was a nice cool day and of course I took alot of photos. You've seen the ponds posted here before, so instead I am going to show some of the insect and other life around the ponds. One thing that was wonderful was...

Now that the warmer weather is here as usual I seem to sweat alot. My groin area is afflicted the worst, especially on long hikes. I seem to get a sticky rash or sore, and it is extremely plainful. I put plenty of powder on before I hike, but after awhile it is sweated away. I come home and am...

Some petite decided to make a dress out of plastic supermarket bags, and then wear it to the supermarket! No these photos weren't taken by me. If they were I would have attemped to ask her out.:mrgreen:

So far I've been to Home Depot, Target, CVS, Rite-Aid, Eckard and no luck finding permethrin treatments for clothing. All they have are DEET based products. And I know from my experience, DEET is useless for stopping ticks. Why don't stores carry permethrin? I guess the DEET lobby is so big and...

The yellow blazed Brookhaven trail runs through this preserve and I hiked most of it on April 20th. It's a kinda narrow trail, and I paid for that by getting some ticks on my clothes, despite my use of Deep Woods OFF! They were large red ticks though, dog ticks I think. Anyway here's some of the...
