Ooh, I want to get a copy of that book too. I've been trying to figure out just what exactly that canal was used for. I think there's a picture of the flume in one of Beck's books as well.

I have a helmet. Batsto to Hawkins sounds like a pretty good ride. I'd just hate to be on the road with someone in a car or truck kicking up a ton of dust.

My old 76CS is still chugging along. Wouldn't mind upgrading to something better one of these days, or just using my iPhone.

To answer the second part of your question publicly, it's legal to climb the tower.

Anybody know of any good bike paths/trails in the Pines? I've recently taken up biking and I'd love to find some nice quiet long trails to ride. The Batona would be interesting, but I think it's closed to bike traffic, right?

The Hermann Hotel has been long gone. There's not even a cellar hole there. Further back in the woods you can see the ruins of the glassworks, but they're mostly ground level. There's another ruin that looks like the beginnings of a house. I think it was a house that was illegally built and...

I would love to get a chance to drive one of those things. Are they three or four speed manuals? I thought you might need some sort of endorsement once you go past 2 axles.

It's my favorite spot in the Pines. But, as Bob said, the briers make it near impossible to search for anything.

I wonder if it will be available for hiking, etc.?

I hope you alerted the rangers and/or the state police.

I always thought it'd be pretty cool to date a bartender.

I could smell the smoke (and almost taste it, too) all the way up in Brick last night.

The place I work at recently switched from Symantec Antivirus to McAfee, and for whatever reason a lot of PC's have been getting viruses. It could be a misconfiguration of McAfee, or it could be that Symantec was just better. If I was a Windows user, I'd just use the Microsoft Security...

Yup, passed in Jersey last year, I think. Too bad we have to make laws to regulate what common sense should be.

He is "diggersw" on this site.
