"will soon be starting the sawmill up again" Do they still run the watermill-powered sawmill at Batsto? They used to run it on holidays.

Why does the moon look that ochre color in photographs but not to the eye?

Hi, Guy. I could upload the lot of them right here if you like so they'd all be in one place.

Nice!!! And just last night I camped out under a full moon - and watched it rise!

I was trying out my new propane lantern in the camping photo. I think that may have been the only time I ever used it. I still have the tarp and the blue sack, but the Guernsey sweater is gone. I'm sure you people are very interested in the history of my tarps and sweaters. VW Beetles were...

I posted a bunch of them last year, and I just found a few more that I don't think I posted back then, though I'm not sure which is which, so maybe I posted one or two of these before, and maybe I didn't, and I probably have a few more that I haven't. Does that make sense? Note my extremely...

Yeah, Boyd, I'm talking about ticks that are all dug in. They're easy to pull off if you find them early.

Have you been successful with the modern method? Whenever I've tried it (happily not recently) I've just broken off the tick's head that's inside my body and then it festers, probably the completely worst outcome of all. There was tick-carried diseases before Lyme too. I wonder what kind of...

I just read an old fashioned tip for tick removal. Iodine used to be very common. When I was a kid my parents always had a bottle in the medicine cabinet. It was used as an antiseptic. It had a skull and crossbones on the bottle. Iodine seems to be kind of rare nowadays. It is purported to...

Let's do that next time!

Yeah, that day was great. One single brilliant, sunny day back again in my beloved old Pine Barrens. Thanks again, Guy.

Argh! I'm not only confusing dates of sales, I'm confusing this thread with the other one too.

"Seems like you are over-thinking all this." Yes, I overthink everything. Trouble is my 276c is still going good and I like it. If it broke it would be different. I'd just as soon not go through the learning process and buy the maps again and the holder and whatever other accessories if I...

Oh, duh. I see now that you posted that a month ago. So how come it only appeared in my email yesterday? I was thinking it was a thanksgiving sale. Say, Boyd, do you know about using tablets as GPS instead of a dedicated Garmin? I was ogling the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 that Costco will be...

Thanks, Boyd. Surprisingly in all the Not Valid fine print on the bottom, Garmin GPS - with the exception of "Garmin fitness instruments" - aren't excluded. But even so I don't know if I'm ready to switch to the Montana from my still working Garmin 276C.

But, alas, the Garmin Montana isn't on sale, is it?

Bergen - You can google up explanations for "orbs". They are not supernatural. They are photographic artifacts. That's not to say that there isn't anything spooky out there, tho in the numerous nights I spent camping out deep in the PB woods back in the old days I've never picked up any bad...

Not to mention groin, armpits, legs, behind the ears, scalp, back, and almost everyplace else! I do not like ticks. I hate them.

I miss those enchanted woods. You could see Atlantic City from the fire tower too. Guy said it was the clearest day he ever saw down there. And yes, it was some view - forest as far as the eye could see - and there we were, in the heart of New Jersey, the most densely populated state in the union!
