I once was swimming in a Blue Hole in Dividing Creek when i was about ten.I remember a Greenhead biting me in top of my head so I figured I'd just swim under water and he's let loose,He held on,I surfaced three times to breathe and he was still biting me.I finally got fed up and smashed him and...

I love winter in the barrens.In the summer I try to hang close to swamps.Bushwacking in the heat through waterless terrain is hell.I've done it but their were times I thought I was really going to die in there.In the winter I can go wherever I want with no discomfort,especially if the swamps are...

I thought I was the only one that thought we had worse chiggers then the core barrens:-)

seen these guys yesterday at the PA Ren Faire.Talk about mixing it up!

Thats a great photo!

Bob or Guy one posted a most awesome macro shot on here once of a blade of grass covered with them,feelers extended to hook onto the camera.

Are you referring to the stone by the gun club? Yes we found that one,almost gave up,we were back in the corner closer to the swamp but something told me to head up the edge of the club property back toward the road and we ran right into it. I I know of much darker sites in PA and WV but...

PS Philly and Toms River make more light pollution over the Barrens.Darker skies down this way.

Belleplain is the noted Dark Sky site for NJ. most folks use the field next to Lake Nummy but you have to have permission to use that field.I know of several state owned fields nearby with high clearance you can access and be left alone.I also know an abandoned blocked off bridge that makes a...

and I've had people swear Hell doesn't exist.Thanks Boyd! Bout time we gotta look at you:-)

The yotes I have seen here in NJ to me look like wolves with big Yote ears.The coloring says wolf and the size,they are a good 70 lbs the ones I have seen.A small wolf but a very big yote.

anyone want the other counties let me know.

well you can open that gpx file up in Google earth or another program of your choice but I can't figure out how to make it open in Bens maps.

I have made GPX files by county.I'll post them here and see if it works.

Yes I have noticed ruts melt first the same way the base of trees melt off.I figured it was because of residual heat in the earth whereas any snow jacked up off the ground by vegetation would not be affected by the warmth.I have also noticed that even in cloudy weather the south side of trees...
