    I"ve eaten Wood Nettle and it was good.The Prickly Pear fruit is a delicacy if you can skin it right to avoid the spines. Thing with poke is you have to catch it early like you said.Once it gets any red in the stem it's no good.You can blanche the plant by planting roots in soil and placing them...

    I get Ivy bad.I just wonder how many times it's been sumac and I thought it was ivy? It's the same poison in both plants so the symptoms would be the same.I know sumac is supposedly a swamp plant and i spend a lot of time in swamps.Is it a Barrens plant? Or does it prefer less acidic soil?

    Downeast Maine

    I"d invest in some good paper maps.A road Atlas or Maine road map ,maybe a Gazetteer,their better then a road atlas and not quite as good as a topo map. Cell service is non existent except near or in towns. Bears are really over rated as a danger.I"ve walked up on numerous bears and every one...

    Pine Barren Flora

    I knew the winged sumac and figured out the other must be poison.I have only seen it once and that was in Burlington near the delaware river.have never seen it in the Pines or perhaps just didn't know what it was when i did.I"m going to have to learn it because Poison ivy does a number on me but...

    Heres your sign!

    If I had to choose between a map and a gps I"d take a good map.Gps without a map can lead me by the nose back to where I was but will never show me where i need or would want to go.I can find direction by sun,moon,stars,tree limbs and a compass.Gps is a great convenience but a map in unknown...

There is a fire break approximately 30 ft wide that surrounds the residential area and is in case the WMA ever catches on fire this where they should be able to stop it. The WMA caught on fire back in the late 90's...
