Yes Whippoorbill is my bestest buddy,It was long about 18 years ago I turned him onto the barrens.I used to delight in taking him into the barrens and turning him in so many directions that I would leave his brain spinning like a top and he would be reduced to sucking his thumb and crying mommy...

Ben, I was out to Boyd"s in july.I also found it by the Cook maps.It was neat,after finding the same things you did except for the stand and feeder I followed the trail out to the ft. Dix boundary swath and popped out into the open (by the way the trail is pretty near indistinguishable from...

If you travel along the road about 200 yards south of the cellar holes and look to your left you"ll see the old road marked on the old maps on this site and old topos heading off toward howardsville.looks like an intersting challenge to see how far i can follow it someday. Al

Has anyone ever noticed the same thing I have that you will get full of ticks in the summer but they only go down head deep and are easy to pull out but when you get a tick on a 50 or 60 degree day in winter he goes in right up to the butt?I mean it takes a pick and shovel to get him out.I...
