    Lost

    Lost Definition: Lost is where you are when you don't know where you are. This is "Lost" PS It is entirely okay to drink distilled urine because then it is just water,drinking urine straight from the bladder will kill you or at least give you very bad breath.My dog eats scooby snacks out of the...

    Mordecai Swamp Ben! I'd like to know if those trenches that surround the southern sides of the islands along the Batsto Crowleytown road and at least one island south of the road were perhaps fortifications against an impending attack by the british that never came because of Chestnut Neck...

    Tree Frog at Friendship Bogs

    Those shots look prefessional Guy.How did you locate him?By sound alone or did you actually carry on a conversation with Him?If you can get them to respond to you that would definitely be a trick i need to learn,It would cut the locating time way down.It normally takes me and Whip a half hour or...

    The Lure of the Land - A photographic journey through the pine barrens, New Jersey’s

    I occasionally use the humanizing solution.I swear yellowthrotas are saying witchity witchity witchity.I'll have to make a list of these phrases and make up my own if need be.I remember the northern junco is the first wild bird I ever fed by hand so they have a special spot for me.Tehn came the...

    Interesting find on ebay.

    Guy Is there any way you can make those photos clear enough to see if there are any stones included.I can't make it out.125 bucks is quite steep but with a little image enhancement that may be unecessary:-) Al

    A New Course

    I know the Atchafalaya has been a runoff for the Mississippi in flood for sometime.I always thought it was a smaller stream but I drove over it back in 90 and it is a sizeable river,there was a barge being pushed down it by a tug as I went over it.It is definitely not some little backwater bayou...

    Island Hopping

    I built a cabin out of pine without the bark taken off.It lasted about 15 years before rotting into nothingness.Cedar lasts much longer.You had to crawl for 100 yards to get to my cabin and it never appeared that anyone ever found it.It was on the west side of union lake in a massive briar...
