    Atsion Turntable

    See my post in the other thread. There's a link to the LIDAR map with the crosshairs centered on the turntable. You can open it on your phone, turn on the gps and follow it to that location. You can create a waypoint by simply clicking/tapping the crosshairs...

    Howell Ruins

    I saw the post. I've always urged people to respect private property rights. Don't know anything about this place, but if it's private or access is restricted then people should stay out. If you feel that a post is inappropriate or illegal, click the "Report" button. I'll make sure that Ben is...

    The USGS 19th century topo shows Harris Station here https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.796441/-74.581306/historic62k/0.00/0.00 The Vermeule map shows it slight farther Northwest, but pretty close https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.796704/-74.581606/vermeule/0.00/0.00 Cook shows Harris Station a...

    Where is this?

    I don't think so. Trees seem to enjoy "eating" signs - I have one in my own backyard. :)

    large block off RR in Atsion?

    Exactly. So, I'm wondering what rforce1024's friend was talking about when they said "there were old tracks just north of atsion lake where rt206 bends to the right"? Seems like they have North/South and right/left mixed up! :)

    large block off RR in Atsion?

    That was what I thought at first. However I'd describe it as "just south of atsion lake where rt206 bends to the left". Were there tracks North of the lake? Don't recall seeing anything about that before.

    large block off RR in Atsion?

    Unfortunately, Trailhead00 has not visited the site since 2011. Not immediately familiar with this location and the old link in Guy's post above is broken (will see if we can fix that). But looking at LIDAR just now, I'm wondering if this is the turntable (turnstile?)...

    Music for the day

    When I was in college (in the 1960's), one day my roommate announced that blue jeans and a blue work shirt were his new "uniform", went out and bought a drawer full of the same. Now, almost 60 years later, that isn't so different from my current "fashion sense". When I first started working at...

    Music for the day

    I always liked him, sorry to see him go. Had no idea he was that old (88). And I didn't realize he wrote "Sunday morning" - I learn something new at NJPB every day! There was an old episode of Beavis and Butthead where they're watching the Johnny Cash video and Butthead says "Monday morning's no...

    Hurricane Helene

    We were very lucky this time. Interesting forecast for today... and I'm on the sunny side of the line (still damp and cloudy now though).

    2007 Aerial Resolution

    That's great! My first handheld GPS was a Magellan Meridian Gold. I sold it to another member of these forums who isn't around very often, but I think she still has it. Not familiar with the gps 310, but Magellan had a topo map called "Mapsend Topo", I thought it was cool back in the day but...

    Hurricane Helene

    Could be handy. But as far as I could tell, all it does is report 24 hour totals wherever you click/tap. The app screenshots didn't show any option for displaying precip totals graphically on the map, aside from the live radar overlay.

    Hurricane Helene

    Looks like they are still predicting it to track into the midwest, but we may get some rain from the fringes. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov

    Hurricane Helene

    Moving pretty fast, sure looks like we will get some rain from this. Forecast currently calling for between 1/4 to 1/2 inch of rain tonight and the same tomorrow.
