    Scrubby Pine Trees

    Well your post seven pretty much pin points why the Plains exist but why a single normal sized tree here and there? Is it that the scrub trees underground portions are much older even though the above ground portions are not and that they have lost the ability to throw up a good trunk but then...

    New law: no smoking in public parks, forests?

    Uncle Ed always called it a Speak Easy and He had no liquor license so it was an illegal beer joint.WEather that would really qualify as a speak easy I do not know,Hell I don't even drink.

    Scrubby Pine Trees

    There is a lonesome pine on Spring Hill.It is the only normal sized tree anywhere in the area. Me and Whpoorbill used to climb it for views.He even accidentally broke a limb off it once because He didn't know to keep his big clumsy feet close to the trunk.The tree did not die but now is quite a...

    I thought the clearings were accurate but thought the ground cover was more art work then information.Never realized it was a vegetation map.Thanlks Spung!

    Two deer with one shot: She's a 101-year-old hunter and she's still going strong

    I don't believe she's really a 101 year old woman.This is plainly Batman in disguise!

    I set off the siren at Apple Pie Hill.

    The sanitorium foundation is still there also there was a large septic tank next to it that was about eight feet across and ten feet deep.A person could have fallen into it and not been able to get out.A friend of mine told someone in the state about it and the bulldozed it shut.This highly...

    New law: no smoking in public parks, forests?

    Now people will smoke in their cars and then throw the butts out the window. I think the problem is that people are actually paid to set around and make up new laws so if they don't come up with crap like this their viewed as not doing their job.This is enough to make me start smoking just to...

    Stone Searching... Fall, Winter, Spring 2018/2019

    Guy and I have often discussed how they get these big stones into the middle of nowhere and we have come to the conclusion that often back then it wasn't the middle of nowhere.The woods were probably leveled and there were logging roads to get them close to the corners or they would cut one like...

    Stone Searching... Fall, Winter, Spring 2018/2019

    I had walked within ten feet of that stone you found and missed it but I don't feel too bad since we were close to giving up on that first one when I spotted it from a distance.Yes it was a good day in some bad woods that somehow we managed to snake our way through.Made me think of this song...

    A Look Inside Lenape Farms WMA

    It is tidal up to Stephens Lake and it is also tidal up to lake Lenape. South River is Tidal to beyond route 50 and even beyond 11th avenue though at that point the water is fresh and tidal influences are quite small. No it is not tidal to Maple Lake because the dam at Stephens lake puts and end...
