Metal detecting is illegal on state land.

As kingofthepines said, they're Wharton-era stables. I believe a herd of cattle was kept at Washington.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/11/03/angry.internet/index.html According to this article name calling and throwing rants on the internet are just reflective of your ability to control your own situation.

The briers are tough.

That whole area behind the church is amazing.

My opinion came from figuring that building a house in the middle of a forest would be risky for fire, much like building a house too close to water would risk floods. It seems that people forget that if you're going to live in the Pine Barrens that you're going to be at risk for being caught...

The popular vote for the presidency is a sham anyway.

Ironically, we were there yesterday. :)

Bob doesn't mind the nuclear plants because he has one in his backyard. :)

The original H.G. Wells story had the Martians landing in England. Orson Welles moved the location to Grovers Mills.

Make a black and tan with Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout and Peach Lambic and your life will never be the same again. :)

I am a fan of the less hoppy beers myself. That said, they do go down better after you've had a few.

Mark is going to be the king of the post apocalyptic Mad Max Starbucks. The latte will be filled with 10w30 and the powdered bones of women and children.

I used to be very pro controlled burns, thinning underbrush, etc. After spending a lot more time in the woods, seeing several fires, and many conversations with folks who know a LOT more than I do about the woods, I'm right there with Bob. Obviously when there is a large fire you want to try to...

Smuttynose Pale Ale is my favorite of the pale ales.

Sort of like "Adopt a Highway" except on dirt roads? Sounds like fun.

Look at it this way, though. Downed trees means a lot of firewood that's free for the taking.

I enjoyed a nice glass of Orval (the second time was clearly better) while watching Jeremy Clarkson race a Mercedes McClaren from London to Oslo on Top Gear tonight. I had a happy evening.
