That Verazzano photo brings back scary memories of one tranquil summer night when I was sea kayaking off Brooklyn when a huge summer thunderstorm struck and the tranquil night turned wild.

Lake George is only about 80 miles north of the presumed mountain lion sighting in the northern Catskill mountains.

That's about what they used to tell you to do and I used to have success putting gasoline (from my Beetle gas tank) on the part of them that was sticking out, and then they'd wiggle their cute little rear ends, and it was then easy for me to pull them out while they were doing that. But then...

Great Pine Barrens photos!

Those are some of the greatest photographs ever!

Wish I was along on those bike rides! Are you still doing them, Guy?

Wow!!!

I was going to say the same thing! The original AQ is still in Key Largo, FL (where I first went in 1973). Steam engines are great.

I used to spend a lot of time in a fairly remote part of the northern Catskill mountains in NY. One time a local feller told me he had been out hunting very early in the morning, hiding behind a big rock, and he watched a fight between a wild cat and a much larger black cat that he called a...

Oops, sorry, Missus or Ms. Turtle! Quite a storm!

I know what you mean!

Those sunset photos are incredible, all of them, but, like Guy, the second one is my favorite. It's hypnotic!

Yogi Bear and Boo Boo liked picnic baskets best.

Wow! I'd like to see those photos, Mister Turtle.

The only time I ever got stuck and couldn't get out was that misadventure that I mentioned on another thread. But being an extremist I picked an extreme place to get stuck where nobody ever comes by to rescue me. If you're going to go to the trouble of getting stuck you might as well do a...

BI - That technology produces such spectacular effects, as it does in your great photos. I don't know how to do it but I've seen it before. I just googled this to get an idea of the software: http://captainkimo.com/hdr-software-review-comparison

"I never saw guys riding the rails in jeeps like that before!" No old bo's here to correct my misuse of the term "riding the rails"?

I watched the video. Very interesting. I like the house they built. No, I don't believe Mr Brown's stories and he kind of rubbed me the wrong way, but I don't know him, just what I read and the time I heard him talk - and there were various things in his talk that I deemed silly at the time...

Maybe I should leave them the way they are, if that's OK with you, Guy. You might have noticed that I've deleted some pictures already. I'm ambivalent about posting recognizable photos of people online, especially without their permission.

Resurrecting this old thread I see that a lot of you guys got the same impression of Tom Brown - allegedly brought up by an Apache indian in the old indian ways in the NJ Pine Barrens - as did I, and that was reinforced by my listening to him and seeing him in person, when he gave a talk at...
