I know you can set trails where they come in and out but much of the old Trapper literature I have read describe them also setting traps in the entrance tunnels to the lodge.Perhaps thats illegal now?

Couldn't you set the traps underwater in the lodge entrance? A bit inconvenient,you'd probably get wet but it would keep dogs out of it.

Fireweed does have one purpose that I know of.The dried stalks make good hand drill spindles for starting fire. I find a cottonwood spindle and a white cedar fireboard bow drill set easier.Hard to find wood dry enough to get a coal with a hand drill set in NJ because of the humidity.

That old septic tank at Dr. Whites has been filled in byt the state.I know the guy who reported it as a hazard and they filled it in.This upset me because I believe people should watch where they walk but if someone did fall in they would not have got out without help unless maybe they had a...

Thanks Bob.This means I have been mistaking fireweed for wild lettuce for years.Glad I never attempted to eat it.What you show as wild lettuce is not what I thought lettuce was.I have been calling that fireweed lettuce for years.I have just been educated.Thanks:-)

We called them Catalpa Seegars.

Destroyed the tower? Or the fence around it?

Took your money to build it.It's taking your money to stop you from accessing it.

When I was a kid I filled up my bottom dresser drawer with dried catalpa pods.My Mom said what are these and I told her cigars and I was going to smoke em.I smoked a few and then they sat there for a few months and eventually she chucked em.

I have made dandelion/chicory coffee from roasted roots of both plants mixed 50/50. The Dandelion gives it a coffee smell but the chicory gives it a sweeter flavor.I like the smell of coffee but not the taste.

It was such a pretty drive.That will be history.

So am I right about the wild lettuce? Seventh pic below the aerial.

Nice pics. Diablo is the devil right? Your name isn't Leeds is it? :-)

` southern flannel moth and Puss I believe are two different names for the same species.

Bill got a new recorder for his birthday.It is the size of a cell phone and does better then his old recorder that had to be backpacked in.He missed frog season this year but He's right in insect season now with still a few frogs still hanging on.Plus he's been getting hit and miss treasures...

My Caterpillar field guide says Puss caterpillars come as far north as Maryland but that i a Puss caterpillar.There are several caterpillars similar but none that are a match to that pic but the Puss. I"ve been stung by IO caterpillars down in Florida and it was one of the most painful things...

I think I"m right on the Wild lettuce.Fireweed leaves appear to be unserrated and narrower,also it should be in bloom now.

German I must say on the Paulonia I think your right.leaf shape and texture isn't right for burdock and as i said below catalpa being a tree starts with one woody stem and the leaf is also different and unserrated.

http://aporee.org/maps/?loc=33312&m=satellite This is the site where Whip posts recordings that he deems internet worthy.Every Barrens and Cumberland County recording is by Him. Most are right down fabulous.It's hard to get away from road noise,even in the middle of Wharton it seeps in sometimes.

I think you may right.I would have never suspected a baby catalpa in the barrens but they do grow around people places.That could very well be fireweed too but wild lettuce does look similar.On the burdock I looked for burs and saw none but the stems don't look tree like.Usually trees atrt out...
