Give me a whiff Now, if you guys did up a chunk of that wood, please wrap a piece of it in some saran wrap, I'll SEND YOU A PREPAID MAILER SO I CAN SMELL A THOUSAND YEARS AGO. Makes me quiver inside.

Where's Tony Soprano when yeah really need'im???

I'd be willing to PAY to smell that!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rofl:

I agree, thanks for the illustrations, Jerseyman. I noticed your geological report is from 1855, yet the NYT article is from 1888---why do you think the long time between publication dates? Obviously the author of the NYT article plucked his info from the geological report, nearly verbatim! Can...

Memorial From time to time I have thought the same thing about the road-side memorials people leave behind for loved ones killed on the roadways. My concern is mainly for their safety as they pull over to leave stuffed animals and flowers. They could become statistics as well. Here in...

Another topic that has fascinated me since I was a kid. I would absolutely love to witness this "mining" process and see the ancient trees.

Middens I recall shell piles on small islands in the Batsto, Wading, and Mullica Rivers. Though not as large as the ones mentioned above, they do indicate the presence of native peoples. I believe there has been archeological documentation of 1000 such sites in and around the pinelands. That...

Bone Suckers While sucking bones for the marrow, which is a highly nutritious food source, conceivably ancient peoples could have sucked down a femur fragment or a metatarsal chunk or a piece of vertebrae in their hot pursuit of "ancient hot-dogs"!!!:mrgreen: Modern men and women have been...

OK, but... ...my question has gone unanswered!!! :rofl:

New Evidence of Earliest North Americans 2008-04-03 18:03:55 By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID AP Science Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — New evidence shows humans lived in North America more than 14,000 years ago, 1,000 years earlier than had previously been known. Discovered in a cave in Oregon, fossil...

This is a topic which fascinates me and I hope it stimulates some intense discussion here. I recall seeing middens, or shell mounds, on many canoe trips in the pinebarrens. My research of the topic has been cursory. But, I recall reading the Native peoples would congregate at certain times of...

I wanted to see if anyone has observed the fishladders effectiveness at Batsto Lake. Has it been a success in allowing the herring to go upstream to spawn?

Dang-it!

Trash We always took trash bags when we did canoe trips, always full at the end of the line. In some of the parks here in Florida there are separate containers for recyclables. My wife and I are constantly picking up trash on the roads near our home. It blows my mind. I was parked outside a...

Hey Guy---I will keep that in mind, a great idea. Imagine if a Ranger saw me dragging a huge fallen pine--I can read the headlines now: "Florida Man Drags Tree for Photo Op, Arrested for Treenapping" !!!! LOL!!!

A Photo I have a prized possession on my piano---a picture of me and my bride-to-be sitting on a fallen gray barkless pine, posing for my Minolta SRT-102 auto-shutter in September of 1976--and where is it? Just off of Washington Rd.!!! :)

Hey Greg Thanks, Greg. I will let you know. I'm trying to get up your way for business. BTW, I sent you a private message. Keep in touch! Dave

Thanks! Thank-you for the synopsis. I was under the impression that SJ and the PB were under water during the last melt-off (warm-period after an ice-age) which would ostensibly remove through erosion much evidence of ice-age materials. I am aware that dredgers have recovered mastadon teeth and...

Ice Age PB OK, does anyone have an interesting report on the presentation???

Fishy Subject If I was living close enough I would have attended. This brings me to another topic, regarding the fishladder at Batsto. Has anyone reported on its effectiveness to help restore the native herring population?
