Nice pictures, Jerseyman. It is interesting how formal things were 100 years ago. I was going through some pictures of my grandmother, when she was about 5, at the beach with her grandparents (about 1920) and all the men on the beach were in suits and top hats. It must have been very...

Nice bit of research, Jerseyman.

I don't think it was a brown recluse. It appears to be the same bite I received, which has gone away. The sore developed because she wouldn't stop scratching it and it doesn't appear to be getting any worse. It does sound more like the bite of a tick nymph. I appreciate the concern, though.

I had notice that when I was looking at it on Saturday afternoon. Thanks.

Thanks Guy for taking me out there with you and Jessica and saving the search for that last stone until I could make it. I had a great time with good conversation and good company. Never would I have thought that some day I would be out there walking the exact boundaries and touching the...

I am curious as to how one maintianed any sort of accuracy with the cannon perched on the bow of the boat. Nice pics.

Wow...sounds like the luck of the Irish. Happy St. Patricks day.

That is quite a piece of ground. What did they mill there? Lumber?

Guy/Jerseyman, Where was the Jones Mill Tract situated? And, was this tract associated with the Hanover iron business/family?

Great photos. I got a rare chance to enjoy the moon and a cigar tonight...the little things.
