    Pestletown

    Scott, Just got back from a business trip to Orange County California, and this photo was on the front page when I logged in tonite. It was a nice welcome back. It says so much about our area, and nostalgia, and better times, and the value of open space, and how memories can be jostled and...

    Lehigh Valley

    Yesterday I climbed up to Glen Onoka Falls up in Jim Thorpe PA. It was a gray day, but exhilirating hiking in the snow. If these show up too large I'll get busy rescaling them. Baron Von Frankensteins Bridge. Lehigh River Ice climbers at the first falls. Icefall further...

    New Years Resolutions

    There are actual events by sailors turned into resolutions by the Navy. I added myself as number 11. How about you? 1. I won't ride an ATV up a so-called "hill" that is so steep that the ATV rolls over backward and lands on my leg. 2. I won't try to open a can with a pocket knife and open...

    Quote from the AP

    "A fired-up McNabb sprinted toward the Eagles sideline and suddenly stopped. He turned around toward the Cowboys bench and flexed, the way T.O. often does." Maybe some of you think he has a chance. I don't. He'll choke in the critical situations ahead. Its in his blood. He has disappointed me...

    Ahi Tuna

    I had a couple steaks in the freezer that were well past the due date, so I had a mind to take them out this morning to a clearing in Greenwood Forest to see what tracks they'd raise. I do weird stuff like this sometimes. Anyway, I parked about a mile from Bamber's lonliest house and...

    Human Land Abuse

    Jeff, This is in your neck of the woods. It looks like land that has been severely abused by man. Do you know what went on there? I have not been there, I am only guessing by the colors in the photo.

    REI=Really Expensive Implements

    I do buy from them once in awhile, but their pricing is outrageous on some items. They must appeal to snobs. Their latest catologue lists the Garmin ETrex Vista HCx for $299. They are either trying to appeal to people with money who don't care what they spend, or they must be trying to pull in...

    Mullica be Dammed

    I did not realize the lower Mullica was dammed at one time. Who has the story behind that? This photo is from the 30's.

    I Wuz Here

    Sometimes a photo of something seen before invokes a memory deep in our brain cells but we cannot quite place the location where we saw it. I was out this morning trying to beat the rain. I'm going to post a few photos. Wawa often has charity/donation containers for worthy causes. I'll drop...

    Adirondack High Peaks

    After last years false start, I had to climb Mount Marcy all the way. I worked out at the gym all year to do it right. Columbus day weekend in the Adirondacks this year was a rare event. It was sunny 5 days in a row, and temperatures hovered around 67-70 degrees. It made for perfect climbing...

    Buddy Coyote

    I was out hiking on Dover Road tonite behind Bamber. Buddy was casing the adjacent woods out as usual and he flushed out a coyote. It started howling at Buddy. It sounded just like Bill's recordings only it was more agitated and short: ...yip, yip, yip...yowwwwwl! It was actually...

    Chigged!

    I got chigged good today boys and girls. I mean really chigged. I found this nice stand of twisted yellow-eyed grass, and I bent down to take a sample, and to my surprise the entire tip of one was absolutely loaded with chiggers. I had my camera, so I thought I could get a nice close up. I...

    Those darn flies

    The little black ones are back again. I can't go to the garage without them attacking my legs. I have to buy one of those little raw meat traps. I like to drink them dry when they fill up with fly guts. By the way, I'm getting one of these cups for my hat while I'm out in the woods. I'll let...

    So long Hampton Furnace Building

    I was walking in and around the Batso River today at Hampton Furnace Site. A guy and his wife (I presumed) pulled up to the building and started loading the building blocks into the back of their mini van--easy as you please. I started walking over there. She got back in quick. He threw in one...

    PBX Shirt

    Are you a big guy who is nimble on his feet in the pines? I surprised the PBX members who came on the last trip with Tee shirts I designed, but I got too many double extra large. They really don't look that large to me. If you are interested, I'll send it to you for $15, or $12 if in person. I...
