    Bear Swamp hill

    thanks Teegate, that was a real nice pic.Before I found the gear I had read that the plane crashed in papoose swamp which i had explored quite a bit and had never seen any plane parts.The swamp that the gear is in is not papoose swamp but an isolated little bog unconnected to papoose.Maybe tis...

    Red Oak Grove (and Union Clay Graves)

    I had earlier stated I thought I found a driveway to the red oak grove cellar holes in the bayberry patch next to it but after studying the map entitled atlas sheet 13 on the map gallery of this site I do believe I found the beginning of the road that is shown heading southeast toward...

    Crackdown on illegal use of off-road vehicles costly

    the washboards in the graded roads are caused by the grader going too fast.The drag starts jumpimg up and down if they go much faster then a walk and causes this irritating chopiness.It can vibrate you right off the road if you go too fast.The occasional running water ditch is hazardous too but...

    Red Oak Grove (and Union Clay Graves)

    Teegate, I have a Garmin GPS 76 with WAAS.I bought it because it was advertised to get good reception in heavy tree cover even though it"s a marine GPS.It does quite well in the thickest of cedar swamps on the nastiest of days so i got my moneys worth. Al

    yes that was me and I did wave at you.A common WV trait this waving at people you don"t know:-)People very seldom do that here and most look at you in shock when you wave at them:-) I was parked back in the woods toward the kiln and pond on that skinny road that cuts thru the heart of the clay...
