Hey, how do you like those fat tires? I have been meaning to ride those trails also. I have been seeing a lot of the fat bikes lately. are they the thing for sand?
I have had an interest and curiosity about that event for many many years now. I remember my dad telling me about it when I was young. I grew up not too far away from Matawan. When that book came out I met the author and he signed the book for me and we discussed it a bit. The book was very...
Hey! you know, the possibility of a coydog is there but unlikely. I have seen some very large yote tracks...and ultimately I use the absence of human tracks and a deliberate path and the remoteness of the area as a determination of whether it is likely a dog or yote. I have found that most of...
I was there also and was quite taken back by the graffiti. I just can't imagine why someone would go through the trouble to do that to something that is so obviously of historical significance.
I saw them out today. they weren't grouped up, just here and there. I never ridden those types of bikes. they seem a bit heavy for the sand, but then again, I've never ridden those bikes
Great thanks. I was stuggling with your previous response to that question LOL this explains how water moves through the dense quartz dust. Are the bellybuttons created by water pressure?
Spung-man,
a couple questions:
1) Am I correct to assume that the weathered quartz sand/dust created during periglacial times is less porus than quartz sand not subjected to cryogensis? is this soil unique to spung basins?
2) do you believe that aquifer degradation is the primary reason for...
I will concede that the definition provided (by Jason) would certainly apply to a wide range including vernal pools created by human disturbance or intent. However, as Spung-man eluded to, there is a far greater value to 10,000 + year old Pleistocene created spungs than basins created through...
A road cut next to a spung made little sense historically, since it would be subject to seasonal washouts. Most roads that do lie adjacent to legitimate spungs were created by the FFS in haste. An exception might be perhaps the JCRR as it would have been very difficult to circumvent every...
As an interesting side note...I had a contract to buy the place and land next door to it back in the '90's but I got cold feet and backed out at the last moment. I always regretted that
it's on jones mill road, or baptist road (not sure of the name at that point in the road. the road that goes from chatsworth to penn SF. I believe that place is for sale
close enough. Black rats will emit a rather nasty musk fluid when they feel threatened. It is very hard to wash off and get rid of that smell. I wasn't sure if a juvenile was capable of doing that but I wasn't taking any chances when I had to leave for work in 3 minutes. He didn't try to...
I could tell you, but that would be too easy. It was not because I was afraid of snake bite or because I was doing yard work. See if you can guess. hint: I was actually about to leave for work, right then, and I didn't want to risk this....?
