That is new jersey sandstone,possibly impregnated with Iron Ore which in that case would make it Limonite.

I was up it maybe ten years ago.Don't remember the road being that bad.I do remember feeling guilty when I got to the top and looked down and seen a steady stream of hikers inching their way to the top.Now I"m over 50 so no need to feel guilty anymore.Every one of em looked under 30

I have a friend from the Poconos area who met me back around 98.He was a Tom brown student like I was and he found me on this forum and PM"ed me.He wanted to learn the barrens since that was Toms stomping grounds and the setting of his books so I met him up by Hedger House and we frequented the...

Need to start carrying a military entrenching tool with you Guy.They only weigh a couple pounds and will save your fingers:-)

Climbed up Whiteface once.That elevator was the toughest one I"ve ever ridden!

I see they have been doing some blazing in Belleplain since I lived over there.I"ve walked all those trails before they were trails,most of the are old sand roads shown on the topos.That is some seriously chiggered country.The Mountain Bike trail has NO for hiking.Are they seriously telling us...

Actually the Fisher quite surprised me.I was in Cook Forest State Park and had no idea Fisher ranged that far south.I always thought of them as a far north critter.I saw it while driving down a road about 50 ft off the road,woods very open.I got out and followed it about 100 yards before it...

Weasels look like an animated piece of rope moving sort of like a live slinky.A Mink is basically a larger weasel.I saw a Fisher in Pa once.A weasel on steroids.

A mink is one critter I have never seen in the wild.I"ve only seen weasels twice.I would imagine an animal with dark brown fur would look black if wet.I know my hair being dark brown looks black when wet at least till is started getting these mysterious white hairs popping up all through it.I...

Only thing that scares me in the woods at night is a stick in the eye.I usually wear glasses at night because of that.Besides after close inspection the mirror I may well be the scariest thing that raoms the barrens at night. Maybe thats why the yotes leave me alone.By the way heard a bunch of...

I was about to say what Johnny just said.Put the bottom of the traingle up top to simulatae the Colorado line and NM and OK would be the other two sides with the downward facing apex representing the state line between the two.

Is the water really that deep? Or is He on his knees?

I guess your son hasn't heard that "Violence solves nothing"? I tell you what .If He had of kicked that guys ass I bet He wouldn't dump trash in the woods any more or at least not in that area! :-)

My wife is now throwing hints she wants a yellow and a chocolate lab,we have a black and silver,she says there is also a blue and a red fox phase as well.She can't get our son in law to part with Sophies sister who is a yellow, she keeps trying.

Nice!

Frozen water that seeps into microscopic cracks in rocks while liquid and then when it freezes it pops them apart.Mad frost in WV september 30th.woke up to 30 degree temps and a field covered in white.I hollered "Die chiggers die!"

I have found several stones snapped off horizontally at ground level with the base still in the ground.Frost wedging tends to split stones vertically.I have often wondered if these stones were hit by log trucks.They were in high oak woods which have no doubt been logged for firewood several...

At least you found it, Thats always a good thing. That has to be one of the most densely populated areas in the barrens for incised stones.Their every where in bass River.

Good point Piker. I"ve never died but i doubt it's enjoyable.

Lot of field crickets here as well.Also I have a loud two spotted tree cricket across the street and tinkling ground crickets in the back yard and pine tree crickets in the tree tops
