Keep your eyes open for chiggers. The tall grass at Howardsville will be swarming with them.

Bisbee again: FOUR MILE: Formerly known as FOUR MILE HOLLOW. Located in north central WOODLAND, two miles southeast of ONG'S HAT CIRCLE. The only justification for the name appears from the fact that the spot is exactly four miles from BUTLER PLACE on old maps. It was probably a "coach stop" in...

Thanks!! I love the moody film noir effect I get from taking shots at night and converting them to black and white.

Yup. They're rebuilding the boardwalk. It's Trex about halfway through, and then goes back to wood right around where I snapped that photo. I really liked that walk. Probably my favorite part of Bangor, besides the LL Bean Outlet. :)

Home Depot sells a kit that you can use to test water, should you be so inclined. http://www.homedepot.com/p/PurTest-Home-Water-Analysis-Kit-777/202711663

For anybody who is interested, here are the photos that I took during my trip to Downeast Maine last week. What an amazing place.

Yes, she dumped way way way too much money into that place.

Bear in mind that there were at least three workers at Martha named Hedger round that time: Owen, Joshua, and Mary. Owen and Joshua seem to have been involved with hauling ore. Mary worked in the kitchen. This all comes from the Martha Furnace Diary transcription in Iron in the Pines which you...

From Boyer's Place Names in Burlington County: HEDGER HOUSE : A former way station on old stage road to Manahawkin north of CHATSWORTH and just south of S-40 [now Rt. 70] in northern part of WOODLAND. The old hotel is now gone [this was written circa 1955] but there are a tavern and several...

Hedger House dates to (at least) the 1880s since it shows up on the historic NJ topo map. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of Boyer's Old Inns and Taverns in West Jersey to see if there's more information. It looks like someone has republished it - although it's a bit spendy.

LOL

Of course Al has the first response. I just want to point out: Then why is it okay for tax dollars to be used to help purchase nature preserves such as the Franklin Parker Preserve when the majority of people in the state won't visit? Why is it okay for tax dollars to be spent maintaining...

I've wanted to get my hands on Halpert's thesis for a long time, too. I think Princeton University has it on microfilm. I never got around to getting a copy while I worked there though. :(

Maybe not so much anymore. Fracking companies have set up shop nearby, and have been pumping massive amounts of light into the sky. http://www.vqronline.org/essays-articles/2016/07/night-moves#overlay-context=photography/2016/07/tokyo-parrots

Not my best night.

I think there should be a map (lower case) that people can pick up at Batsto and Atsion, but I think that the roads/areas that get closed off need to be decided on in a sane, transparent manner - not the way that the DEP was "advised" behind closed doors with the MAP.

My last experience with Scott's crazy juice was at the Lines on the Pines event four years ago. It was quite an adventure. At least what I remember.

I've edited the post. Also, many thanks to you @SuperChooch for this great article. I'm happy to see new articles go up on the site. :)

I didn't take any pictures of Florence, but she did seem very nice when we did speak. Wish we could have her back.

One person went around the barricade at Jemima Mount and you're ready to call it a failure. The original MAP called for closing 50% of Wharton without increased enforcement. It's logical to assume that when people who don't respect the law flout those closures the next response will be to close...
