The ridges along that road are crispy. Nothing left. But it is a great place to explore.

So we went out again this morning to do a few things we were not able to do the last two days, and this time we had our clothes sprayed with permethrin. We got out of the car and the pine flies were serious so we also sprayed ourselves with "Off.” In seconds the pine flies left us so we headed...

The pine flies and the battery in my GPS failing forced us to stop early yesterday. It was a rough day.

Bringing this old post back to life. In my first post I mentioned my car shakes and I still have not solved that issue. However, I may have discovered the problem. I noticed yesterday that when accelerating the shaking was increasing. And again today the same issue. This evening I jacked my car...

Between yesterday and today we had 25 small ticks dug into our body. Today, I sat outside for 20 minutes and picked 50 of them off my clothes and cut them with my knife while waiting for Jessica to finish her shower. They came from one section of woods that we were in yesterday and today and...

Also, we checked on a morning glory location that the state is trying to protect by using whips. This plant is usually starting to grow around now and the area it was at was crispy burnt. It should be interesting to see how it does this year.

I think if will hit me around 6 or 6:30. Jessica’s weather station is saying lightning in the area.

All, This morning I was at the Mines Spung Fire at 6:45AM meeting up with Dragon to check on a few things. On the way there I noticed that the FFS had bulldozed the gate on the first road off of Tuckerton from Carranza. The state in record time has replaced it with plastic whips to keep all of...

They are calling the coming weather pattern a “suffocating air mass.” Never heard that one before. :D:D

Thunder nearby this morning. Looks like it will skim by my place.

I was going to go there today but the roads are still officially closed and I know that at least one person was told to leave already. The nighthawk eggs I found are out there and I wanted to get there every few days to be there right after or when they hatched. I suspect it is past that point...
