Thanks Oji.I was about to break out my Caterpillar guidebook but you nailed it:-)

Nice article on this in next years Old Farmers Almanac.

I remember that stone.Man the fire really gave that stone a lift didn't it?! Was a lot of duff around that bad boy.Glad the fire didn't crack it. If that is the stone I"m thinking of it was quite a walk from the nearest sand road.There were several that day I went looking for.I remember the...

I think my mushroom expert buddy has that book.will have to ask him.I know maybe half a dozen kinds well enough I"d trust myself to pick and eat.He knows several dozen.So far my favorite is Old man of the Woods Bolete.

Never thought about bears but they should be great at it.Problem is you can beat a pig up and take it's truffles.You ever tried that with a bear?

Menantico I didn't know you were related to the Carmel rd Ukes.My old horticulture teacher from Votech lived there.His name was Nicholas Seminiuk.I was also friends with the Dupnocks in high school. Glad to see the Russians and Ukes could get along at one time.I like them both but I understand...

I actually grew up closer to Buckshutem and Bear swamp but just liked manumuskin and did spend a lot of time there once I got wheels.

Spung man how do you tell a vernal pond from a spung? I always assumed a spung was designated by it's vegetation these usually being filled with leatherleaf and hence this made them a spung.You seem to be saying a spung is a geological formation with no ties to vegetation.Are you saying all...

I picked a creek nearby and took that name.It was either this or menantico or Buckshutem.Menantico is now also taken.Any takers for Buckshutem?

amf I was just at that bog.It is private and the guy I went with had permission.There are a couple nice cypress growing along it with knees also you can see pics of a stone monument i took out there on my Cumberland Stones thread.I took no pics of the bog.sorry:-(

They have my house on here and didn't even ask permission? :-(!

Looks like a plant that would favor mesic sites with sweeter soil.Don't think it will take over the barrens though might show up in old fields around the edges of the Barrens,even maybe down my way around the bay more??? Something else to wammy my day.

Now fatwood is a term I"m familiar with.I have often broken fatwood out of dead pines and spruce when in WV to start fires with.Didn't know that they were referring to fatwood when using the term "Pine Knot". I don't know how they would use that to mark a property corner.fatwood is somewhat more...

So many surveys and maps have the infamous (pine knot) all over them. I have yet to figure out what a "pine knot" is or to find one.Something tells me they don't last as long as stones:-).Now surveyors are shoving rebar under the ground where you'll never find it without a 10,000 dollar gps and...

I am clueless.
