Do cell phones work in there? They didn't used to. If it wasn't for my old Garmin 2 GPS (no map) - and the battery was almost dead! - I would have never found that rental car that got bogged down in the sand in one of the most remote parts of the Barrens, oh about 13 or 14 years ago I guess...

46er, it's not just leftovers that come with W7, it's the most expensive business class laptops, like this Lenovo W530: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/builder.workflow:Enter?sb=%3A00000025%3A00003717%3A&smid=F2A3EC7C45634AE8AB0F26CCAC867854&redir=y I...

7 or 8 for new computer, I was wondering about that too. If 8 is so great why are they still selling the top of the line laptops with 7?

A ghost followed me home.

Yeah. Rt. 72 cuts right through The Plains (the dwarf forest). But I was there last year and it's not quite as awesome as it once was as the trees are taller now. It's still awesome, but it's no longer as if you were Paul Bunyan towering over an entire forest. I think that's due to fire...

What picture, Glenn? My atavar? That was me in the NJPB Plains, taken long ago. The trees in the Plains were shorter back then and I towered over the entire forest like Paul Bunyan. I posted more old photos of the Barrens, on the photo board, i think.

Wikipedia: Earth Snake, genus Virginia, one of the snakes commonly called worm snakes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_%28genus%29

Thanks.

Woodjin - Probably because the ground is uneven so you don't see the shadow.

Mark - I remember passing under a tree in central Jersey with one of those critters right above me, and yep enormous, and I didn't like the way it was looking at me. Speaking of birds, I wonder I that tree with all the hummingbirds on it is still in Batsto. More hummingbirds in one place -...

Looked it up. I think its an Earth Snake, genus Virginia, one of the snakes commonly called worm snakes.

Nice photos. What a very tiny snake! What is it?

4.3 million bucks for that silly snapshot of a canal or floodwater or whatever it is? Do you have the address of the guy who bought it? I got a bunch of snapshots for sale, way better than that one. I'll let him have the whole lot for a measly million. Special sale. Today only.

Same here!

I'm talking about the 1950's. Tri-X was introduced in the 1940's but first appeared in 35mm in 1954. "Back in 1954, when Tri-X debuted with an ASA 200 rating..." http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/18062784

Interesting! I got into photography in 1956 when I got an Ansco Memar 35mm camera. I have a lot of Anscochrome and Echtachrome color slides that I took then (both ASA 32). I also used B&W, mainly Plus X but also super-fast Tri-X when it came out - 200 ASA I think, or was it intially 100? But...

Didn't he just spin it around? I haven't seen it in a long time. Love that movie though, especially Keely Smith.

Woops - just noticed that. Is that a loop you made or the actual sound? Maybe the cleaning up program you used made them sound more raucus and relentless. I remember the whippoorwills and bob whites and water frogs and tree frogs and the sounds of the Pine Barrens from my backpacking and car...

Thanks. That's the sort of thing I was looking for, but I think it still has a way to go before it catches up with the stand alone GPS units (and puts them out of business). The reviews on Skobbler are very mixed, but reading them I found out about this one - OsmAnd. It gets mixed reviews too...

Hitch seems to be, as far as I can tell, that I can only download and save a small area of Google maps on to my tablet for offline use, so it wouldn't be useful for driving long distances, but it might be quite nice for, say, the NJPB.
