The photo above is from Google Earth. This land is in Calverton, and would be a great hiking and nature opportunity. Sadly, only the southeastern corner (from Scuttle Hole on south) is available for the public to enjoy. The DEC owns that small piece of land, however, the larger area, including...

Hey, I love the 80s music!:bs: Maybe because I grew up with it? Anyway I loved the new wave and electronic sound of the 80s. Pat Benetar, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, etc! Here's a list of my top 10 fav 80s songs: Pat Benetar - Love Is A Battlefield Erasure - Chains of Love Pet Shop Boys - It's a...

So what trees make the best Christmas trees? Most folks use spruce seedlings about 5-7 feet tall, but I wonder if anyone uses our native pitch pine. These seedlings would make great Christmas trees. HAVE A PINEY CHRISTMAS!:guinness:

And I think the warming climate has something to do with it. Mosquitoes are proliferating with these warm winters and hot summers.

Why hasn't the state bought this land to preserve it permanantly and allow access for the public?

My ears are ringing from nature's messsage Something is really screwy with the global climate.... Fake snow in Alps, Moscow blooms: green Christmas? Wed Dec 13, 2006 2:01 AM IST By Laura MacInnis GENEVA (Reuters) - Alpine ski resorts are churning out artificial snow, daisies are flowering by...

That's my generation too. Probably why I haven't found a wife yet.:(

You really have to wonder where December is. It was briefly cold on Friday and Saturday, but now things are back above normal again. This is certainly affecting the whole nation, as there really aint much cold air at all, and as we go into mid-December, with highs in the mid 50s each day (10...

I've tried Coldeeze, never really helped me.

Yeah I caught another cold. I usually get 3-6 a year which is alot. I do take vitamin C, but I still catch them. I think I pick them up when I am in crowded places, and I have now started to wear a mask when the bus is crowded. It helps a little bit. And I always wash my hands. I've gotten alot...

The full moon makes for some nice lighting conditions. These shots were taken in Riverhead a couple of nights ago.

Fortunately there are other areas. The core preservation area remains mostly undeveloped. And the county and state now own many of the woodlands around that area. It's just a shame what has happened to Riverhead. I guess one can use it as an example as to why land preservation is so important.

I just got done watching a show on time travel, well, it was a program about the thoeries on time travel. However, the "grandfather paradox" supposedly, would prevent time travelers from altering anything.. Anyway I come to think about the way Riverhead was, just 10 years ago. It was always a...

I enjoy these outdoor shows they have on TV now. The 1st show came out a couple years ago on The Science Channel, featuring Les Stroud, called Survivorman. There were episodes in the Boreal Forest, The Canyonlands, The Arctic, The Rainforests of Costa Rica, and Mountains. This is one of the best...

The weather should be absolutely beautiful Friday and the rest of the weekend. Unlike most folks I will be nowhere near a store tomorrow, hopefully get back into some piney woods up in Rocky Point. I just hope the puddles wont be too bad after all today's rains, they are no fun to walk around...

There's an interesting "little" preserve in Riverhead, along the southern banks of the Peconic River. It is a little known county land off state route 24, with route 25 on the north side. It is only a few minutes drive away from the insanity at Tanger Outlets and route 58. Definately a good...

Wow thanks for all that information!

Hunting season here on LI has several "stages". Nov 1 - Dec 31 they can hunt with bow & arrow, January is Deer firearms season. Long Island is heavily regulated when it comes to hunting, however, I've seen hunters with guns at all times of the year. I am not bothered by them, you just have to...

You can find a higher resolution photo in my flickr album http://static.flickr.com/101/297107251_aebc3a2a22_m.jpg

Seen alot of "roadkill" possums here on LI. Perhaps the wet, mild weather has something to do with it?
