A more important question is this: What is the essence of a cedar tree? What is it that gives a cedar tree its cedarness? If a cedar fell in a forest and no one was there... ok, I'll stop now.

Scott, we can always pour some beer into a soda bottle or what not.

They are cops, not rangers. Rangers generally have good working knowledge of the woods and are there to help people interpret and enjoy the parks. We don't have rangers here.

Are you sure about that, miss sameness? :)

LOL. How's that for dyslexia?

Thanks, Guy.

Good point, Ben. You are no doubt right about that. I ran this by Budd Wilson tonight (who celebrated his 74th birthday today) and he guessed that, if Watson was not lying, nobody bothered to trouble themselves with taking all of the cannon balls out of there.

You are right, Jeff. It was actually Buck Watson who claimed to have found the pile of cannon balls.

The picture doesn't do it justice, but here it is:

Yes, the fact that for some distance the streams run very close and parallel to one another certainly explains the mapping mistake. As for the maze of channels linking them, they were formed only recently by flooding caused by beaver dams. The Westcoat operation really did a number on the...

Only the red cedar. Both are cypresses.

No biggie. I was saying that I believe that a mapping error is the culprit behind the confusion concerning the Sleeper and Sleepy branches. As far as I know, the Sleepy Creek was known as the Sleepy long before the Mechescatauxin was labeled the Sleepy. I surmise that a cartographer simply...

First tell me why you want to know. :)

Guy, you inadverdently deleted most of my last post. Are you able to restore it?

As for the location on the Sleepy being the site of Read's and Estell's dam, I see no reason to doubt it. But let's dig a bit deeper.

Ben, I'm sorry I couldn't join you. Let's meet up sometime soon and do some more poking around. I have found the base of the steam-powered sawmill that Beck talks about. The pile of sawdust is still there as well, though it all turned to soil by now. Also of interest is the 1808 road from...

All, This past weekend, Yvonne and I paddled the Mullica from Atsion to Sweetwater, camping over night on a bluff overlooking the river. Water levels were high, the weather was pleasant, and the river was quiet. We got on the water just before noon and it wasn't ten minutes before we...
