Another priceless thread -- nice job, everybody. The photos, trip reports, Guy's history. There certainly are some hard-core barrenites on this forum. Full moon tonight. I'm thinking about tracing this trip's tracks. ;) What are the chances of my survival, ya' think? Whippoorbill

How great it would be to have the power to turn back a clock and ride through Friendship when "she was." That's impossible to do of course; stories such as yours, Sue, keep her alive. Thanks so much for sharing this emotional snippet of your history here (I want the next page now! :)). I...

Very nice, indeed! Does anybody else remember enjoying fall colors this late in the season before? It's nearly Thanksgiving, for crying out loud. Times are a changin' ... Bill

8. The Nocturnal Paddler: Splashes quietly along only at night and can't see where the heck he's going. (This would be me).

Chris, Yikes; I'd forgotten about the initial post on this thread, which is supposed to link to additional Batona Trail hike photos. I need to reorganize my bucket so the music photos are separated from the barren shots. The latter photos are still there, but on following pages. The...

I'm thinking Apple Pie Hill gives the best all-around view of the horizon in the barrens. On clear days and nights, one can make out the skylines of Philadelphia and Atlantic City; plus the 360-effect is overpowering. Try some photos from the Apple Pie Hill, Dave. Guy is right, there's a...

Scott, Your photos speak a thousand words. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Bill

Fall is beautiful. If not for my annual autumn sneezefest (hayfever), it would be my favorite time of the year. Here's a few other photos from the trip. The Sods, again; the amazing thing about the Dolly Sods photos you've seen on this thread is that they were taken on one trail. We...

'Muskin. A word to the wisest: Whether in dreamworld, or a land of reality -- TRUST YOUR SILVA! :) 'Poorwill

Bob's inspiring Adirondack photos compel me to share a few photos I took while visiting West Virginia earlier this week. Large quantities of time was spent up on the Dolly Sods, which ranks as my favorite wilderness area on the planet, and has warranted repeat visits. Here are a few photos...

More nocturnals: A sand road to no where ... and another of the moonlit Mullica

I upgraded from a point-and-shoot to a digital slr (Canon Rebel XT), which is a costly way to go. But by doing so, the camera took me back to my old slr days in a creative sense and found the reward worth the cost. However, a coworker of mine has done quite some research on the type of...

I'll offer a little description of these two recordings, since Guy hasn't listened to them yet. File four was recorded within sight of Quaker Bridge Road at a vernal pond located about a mile east of the bridge. Lots of interplay here between peepers and leapord frogs; plus some calls of the...

Gosh, I needed sunglasses to look at these photos. :) Great shots, Guy. Especially like the line-up; I've been wanting to get back up to the big fire area again -- only one trip there so far (and it was soon after). This photo is strikingly nice. Bill

Mark, Feel free to call me Bill. Whippoorbill or whippoorwill is a pain in the neck to spell. I should know. It takes me a couple of times to get the p's and o's right before I'm able to log in to the forum. Interestingly, both file 1 and file 7 were recorded at the same location...

Yeah. A little late. :) My boys were along last night -- a little basic training for future "all" night adventures. The worst torture was making them stand still for a minute at a time while I attempted to take some portrait shots. Below is a 1.5 minute exposure taken just above...

Simply the loveliest of nights; I gave the timelapse effect another go this evening, with a brighter moon, getting brighter results. Bill

Mark, I use a small recorder put out by M-Audio called a Microtrack 24/96 and a couple of omnidirectional microphones (AT3034). Bill

I had it set at 5.6, I think. (My field notes are buried out in my car now :)) To be honest, I paid much more attention to the time of the exposures the first time out. Boy, the moon has been kicking out some light the past couple of nights; but I won't be able to get back out and play...

That's fine by me! Thanks. Bill
