    4.8 earthquake. I felt it.

    Caught my attention too. First thought was "earthquake", but then the cat came running into the room and I thought she had knocked something over in the other room. :D My daughter texted from NYC just then and said it was really strong there, the chandelier was swinging and pets freaking out. It...

    Bob Dylan biography filming in Cape May (?)

    Well, I might have if it was actually 1965... but not now. :D Big fan of the early pre-1965 (acoustic) Dylan, but less so as the years passed. The way he treated Joan Baez was pretty awful, there's a good documentary about his tour to England back then. The filmmaker built his own custom super...

    Bob Dylan biography filming in Cape May (?)

    Apparently, they are recreating the famous Dylan Newport Folk Festival concert in Cape May... and you can be in it! :cool: New York casting agency Grant Wilfley Casting has posted a casting call looking for "Cape May locals" to work as extras in a feature film shooting in Cape May from May...

    Any plans for next April's total solar eclipse?

    Reminds me of that scene with Donald Sutherland in Animal House... Pinto: OK, so that means that our whole solar system could be like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being... This is nuts! That means that one tiny atom in my fingernail could be... Jennings: ...could be one...

    Gene Autry

    Don't want to spoil the fun, so just a note that I've split these posts off from the boydsmaps forum into a new thread in the General Discussion forum. As John McClain said in Die Hard... "I was always kinda partial to Roy Rogers actually. I really like those sequined shirts." :D

    Gene Autry

    Found this old sheet music in a junk store long ago and put it on the wall in the bathroom where it's slowly disintegrated over the years from the humidity. :D

    Slow since yesterday

    As I just posted here, the upgrade wrapped up a little ahead of schedule today. There are still a few things to do, but I don't expect them to impact site performance (unless there are problems). Enjoy the holiday weekend!

    LIDAR coverage expansion in progress

    Looks like I'm finishing this up a bit ahead of schedule. :dance: Here's the 3d version of Cadillac Mountain I haven't spent any time at all checking this out, will do that soon. In the meantime... be my guest and post any problems you encounter. I still have a number of things to do such as...

    Slow since yesterday

    No need to clear any caches. I'm sure it's just this, surprised you didn't notice until yesterday, this work has been going 24/7 all week. Definitely having a big effect on site performance. With a little luck, tomorrow will be the last day...

    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    I still say that!... just came up in a Google search. :D Was actually surprised, because I thought X wouldn't allow you to even view content without being a member. The same thing was also posted on other (sketchy?) sites, but they were all quoting the Twitter post.

    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    Just stumbled across this while looking for something else. This is my nightmare scenario... guy starts a website using Mapbox, site goes viral and he receives a $11,000 bill for his use of the API. :eek: I mean, it's a long shot, sure, but not inconceivable. There could be some kind of...

    Hiking Trails, Wheelchairs, Bicycles and the ADA

    I was on a jury in federal court many years ago and we had to decide whether somebody's rights were violated by an organization failing to make an accomodation for their disability (we determined that they were not). Complex case that really has no bearing here, but the point is that the laws...

    LIDAR coverage expansion in progress

    FWIW, I'd say that high-resolution LIDAR data was only available for (perhaps) 70% of the new section of the map. So you'll find some areas that only have the low resolution (10-meter) legacy 1/3 arc-second DEM. Nothing I could do about that, unfortunately. We're kind of spoiled here in NJ...

    LIDAR coverage expansion in progress

    Just now finished uploading the new Northeast US LIDAR map (2d version). Here's Cadillac Mountain on Mount Desert Island Maine, for example. Note the name change, it's no longer called "Mid Atlantic LIDAR", the new name is "Northeast US LIDAR". But I've only changed the name on the menu, the...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    There was a flood warning in effect yesterday for parts of Atlantic County. Initially I found that strange since there was no rain, but when I read the whole thing, it said that some rivers/creeks were still above flood level as a result of all the rain last weekend. The warning I saw was for...

    Fries Mill

    FWIW, I have shown the historical location of Baileytown structures that I could determine on my 2020 and 2023 topo. For the 2023 map, I used the standard USGS convention of just showing an outline of buildings that no longer exist...
