why are so many sawmills Y shaped trenches?

You captured that Kiln better then I seem to be able to.I think a cloudy day may help

Yes I found it later.A little more work on my file and I"ll send you updated

Boyd your crosshairs are on the old mill.It's been gone for many many years but the foundation is still there.The field to the north has a foundation in it and I forget the name of the person that lived there but have the info some where.That house was lived in right up to the 50;'s or 60';s but...

That is one of the two chimneys at the old fries mills tavern otherwise known as Potters cabin.The actual town of fries mills with several nice cellars and mill foundations is maybe 300 yards north at the intersection with Fries Mill rd. There is a map placard there that is quite dirty there but...

If they won't do it eventually nature will.

That island is all of three ft above lake level in the center and so thick you can barely get onto it.You can actually walk across the top of the lake from there across Old Colonial Dam which is the original dam in the lake from the 1700's.In the summer a rim of grass grows on the dam and it can...

I have noticed an odd thing.This island https://online.boydsmaps.com/#17/39.43177/-75.06823/njgin2007 seems to be impervious to Lidar.It is not on any of the Lidar imagery but yet I have stood on it.

I think thats a petroleum based tar but their both pretty much impervious to water which would probably make them almost indestructible as far as rot goes,could be carbonized into nothing by forest fires possibly?

In youtube video i was watching a man states they dug tar out of an old kiln so apparently it has staying power like charcoal.

I dug through the charcoal layer in one with my hand and started pulling up orange clay. I intend to dig in a barrel hole or two and see if I can find any tar left in the soil.The charcoal had a faint pine smell after all these years,wonder if tar will as well?

Real good pic of a tar kiln on page 30

My dad would have went over and shown Him what he could do with his gun.Not saying thats right it';s just what he would have done.I"ve seen him do it. Course that was back when He had two legs:-(

This is part three,parts one and two are on the same channel.he confirms my theory that there should still be tar in the ground.

A sign does not give you permission to trespass and if you use the sign argument you are admitting you can read so trying to claim you couldn't read the no trespassing signs will no longer be a valid excuse.

Just seen this 13 year old post:-) Me and Momma wandered into a guy doing the same thing in Assateague nationa seashore.We were backpacking down the beach to the camping site this guy happened to be at.As I rounded the dune I seen him going full tilt.he had his back to me.I back pedaled and...

Bob, Allow me to display my ignorance publicly.What was the purpose of launching that thing into the ocean.What was it and will they recover it off the sea floor?

This imagery will definitely keep me busy for some time.Thanks for sharing it and making the app.I fear many briar wars are coming my way

Thanks Gabe! Thats K200 and 201! I knew I"d miss a few and your finding them.
