I am quite impressed with the "look around" control on the newest Google Earth. It takes a lot to please me since I am a big USA photomaps fan, but they really did a good job on this one. How long has this been out?

You gotta admit, he changed (and is changing) our lives. http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/20/technology/gates_after_microsoft.fortune/index.htm

I decided to follow Sweetwater Run to the Junction with Webbs Mill Brook today. A wise decision. It was beautiful back in there. Start: For a time, part of it disappeared and then came up again. This is rising right out of the base of the cedar you see there: The next two shots...

This was a letter I sent to the Pinelands Commission and others. If this is happening in your town too, try to stop it. -------------------------------------------------------------- All, I have brought this problem up three times before. Starting around six years ago I sent letters...

Do any of you have a metal detector I can borrow for a couple hours? I lost a pair of good eyeglasses in the woods by Cedar Creek. I think I know where there are, but they are not revealing themselves to me. They are burnished brown in color and blend right in with the pine needles and leaf...

The date this year is Sunday, 20 April. We meet at Wells Mills. If you come, plan to be there between 8:30 and 8:45 so we can assign spots. I am probably going to do a really bad spot between the Middle and South Branch of the Forked River--over by the Parkway. I have a V-8 engine, car seats...

Gabe, You know that I like my Miller High Life. To my tastes, it is smooth and mellow, but with enough body to be considered "beer". And though your motto is "life is too short to drink cheap beer", I like it despite the low price. I was in the Liquor Store in Whiting yesterday, as I...

Jerseyman, At the Pine Barren Short courses today, Walt Bien gave a presentation on Fire's effects in the pines. He had this same exact photo in his powerpoint collection and he did indeed say they were Botanists.

Found this today right before Buddy did.

I was talking to Woodjin, Bear, Guy, and some others about Glory Days in the pines. I’d call that 1968 to 1978. I wanted to reminisce about them here on the open board in the hopes that others would share some of the memories. Excuse me if I repeat from earlier posts. I am an old guy. Give me a...

Shot through the left lens of my sunglasses, and then doctored a bit. What a warm day!

Ben, the maps are not available from the forum area. I thought they were before?

I saw them at the Spectrum in Philly in 1974(?). I cannot imagine how this concert went today. http://www.cnn.com:80/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/09/led.zep/index.html

Boyd, I was in the albums today, and came across this one in yours. Beautiful, worthy of framing and selling, or at least showing in a photo show.......bob

That heinous crime was committed right behind my daughters apartment complex. Very upsetting to all of us. I really feel bad for the family.

This flatlander decided it was time to get back up to another area I really like, the Adirondacks in NY. I have been there about 6 times previously, but this time I went to the High Peaks area around Lake Placid. I set off this Tuesday, with the main goal to climb Mount Marcy (5400 feet), NY’s...

I cleaned a couple gutters on my house yesterday, so I treated myself to a walk in the far end of Dover Forge at dusk; Hidden Creek. Not often visited: Same creek, downstream: Jumbled view of cedars: Vine on burned cedar: Coopers? The cedar at Dover forge is...
