    Key's Sandwash--Menantico Ponds?

    You'd be better off parking at Barth rd or Port Cumberland rd and walking in that way.All the yahoos go in on Schooner landing because you can drive in that way.They keep blocking it but they make routes around the blocks.I think they have given up blocking it and are arresting people hoping the...

    Planning a Batona Trail Thru Hike

    I wonder if they were smart enough to use dog crap as bait or if they landed there to lick salt and took advantage of the flies when they showed up? I don't know if insects crave salt like mammals do?

    Planning a Batona Trail Thru Hike

    I don't think hornets eat pollen and they don't make honey.They eat insects and spiders. I wonder if it was cool out and perhaps the sun was warming the steel slightly and they were on the steel or warmth?

    Planning a Batona Trail Thru Hike

    A couple of theories.Could it be the orange paint the towers is painted with.Bees and wasps see color very well,perhaps they like orange?

    Have you seen the youtube video where a nest of them attack a video camera after the camera man from a pickup truck reaches out with a pole and smacks the nest a few times.They were audibly bouncing off the camera from the pickup truck six feet or so away.He aggravated them and they were ready...

    The area that the links I posted make claim that the Key Sand Wash is in the area known as Maurice River Bluffs today and was known in my day as Wheaton Wharf and the Grain Elevator.This would be exactly across the Maurice River from Menantico WMA along Silver Run Rd.There is an old large pit...
