    Naked man hiking.

    Most birds are full of mites.Every wild bird I"ve happened to have handled,mostly babies out of the nest or injured adults were all full of mites.Snakes often to have ticks but not like mammals and they have absolutely no way to get them off.I've walked nekked in some way out spots as well,never...

    Naked man hiking.

    I could not imagine a barrens Bushwack buck nekked.I look like I"ve been thrashed even when wearing camo fatigues.Imagine the fun the deer flies would have.Skinny dippin is one thing but a cross country hike in the raw? We wear clothes for a reason.We weren't born with a tough fur coat or scales...

    WE have chrysoscelis down here in Cumberland county.I know one pond that has both frogs in it along with PBTF.The northern and southern (Copes_ grey treefrogs can easily be told apart by voice but you are right,you can't tell them apart by looks.barkers are south of Jersey.They occur in delaware...

    Naked man hiking.

    I read a book about the Appalachian trail once and it referred to nude hikers at Sunfish Pond NJ.There at least at the time the book was written around 1980 no laws forbidding nudity on federal land so you legally could prance around nude on federal land which the AT was.I"m not sure if this...

    Where is this?

    I'd have to second that Piney Warden.It looks like the field we walked across on the start of a PBX hike which was the Ocean Spray field.

    another barren night

    Have you made this mistake Guy? I handled a PBTF once and then rubbed my eye.I quite quickly became a groveling idiot with his face buried in swamp water shrieking like a banshee across the Barrens.Might have even started some jersey devil stories with my squalls.

    Bombing Range Road?

    when I went in in Nov 89 there wasn't any wars either.Needless to say If I had known the future I wouldn't have went in but since I did I guess I"m better for the experience.I really missed family and the barrens.I just wanted something green and not covered in dust.I had family send me magazine...

    Bombing Range Road?

    Thats exactly what i told my wife when I used to work in Philly every day! The most important thing to know every day is how to get out! I drove routes that were different everyday and ended at different times so you had to know where you were and what every one else was doing to know the best...

    Free Beer and Baked Beans

    found a case of beer once myself in the world war 2 bunkers across from where the Motorsports park is now. I shoulda traded it for a few cases of Yoohoo,definitely a much better drink in my teetotaling opinion.

    Bombing Range Road?

    The only "great" view I"ve ever seen of Philadelphias was this same view while descending after the flight back from Saudi Arabia on 5-28-1991.I hate cities but an American city is better then the Arabian desert.Now I prefer to see Philly over either shoulder if I have to see it at all.

    Berkely Crossroads Fire Notes

    Boyd Those soft tendrils at the ends of Greenbriar vines this time of year are edible.I eat them every spring.The only thing I can compare them to might be asparagus but really they have their own taste.Big black anys love them too and I usually have to brush a few off before I eat the...
