Yes that is the lake I was thinking of.Never knew it had a name,been swimming there for years.I usually hang my clothes on the sign.The dog goes with me. I believe when they are using a sand wash they clean the sand with acid,hydrochloric I believe.I know from experience if you swim in a wash...

I figured there should be some stone around somewhere:-)

When I seen that stone I was inclined to think that maybe it had been hit by a grader in the past.Perhpas it was laying over and was hit and has since been stood up?

I have not heard a Bobwhite/Quail in a good twenty years.I hear the claim is lack of good habitat which would be old fields in advanced stages of succession.It is impossible to maintain a field in the proper stage so the locations of the birds would change.Most of the old fields when i was a kid...

some of them appeared to be above water.The water was clear so I misjudged.I guess if it is cedar and underwater it may last a long time indeed..Would be nice to find remnants of the foundation.

Nice Boyd! I'm still hearing them around here as well but as you say not near as many as a couple months ago.The generally skedaddle by october and show up again in April.

The tide effects the lower ponds south of the grade,is barely perceptible at the rr grade and just slightly noticeable if you measure it in the upper ponds themselves.The tide never extends upstream from there and never rises more then a couple inches or so in the upper ponds.

Lake Audrey? I live about three miles from mauricetown and have never heard of it.Would it be the blue hole owned by the state in back of John's garage?actually between Mauricetown and Haleyville?

Now to find my way from Tibet to the Barrens! I'll take some prayer flags with me and promise not to kick any more butt then absolutely necessary on the way!

are you saying the wood boards I see in the photos are remains of a mill?It wouldn't be that old if these boards are part of it.Any stone foundations? I don't doubt there was a mill there but these boards look awful recent???

I see more rebel flags flying around this area and on Pick up truck bumpers then I ever do when I actually go down south.Use to have a few of my own come to think of it.back when I was a rebelgade.

It looks like in a dry summer it really may be a (lost) lake.

Ben That looks like an old road that passes to the north of it or at least an old dune/island that may have an old road following it.I have only been in that area once and I basically drove back to Success lake and that was it.A little north of my normal wanderings.

Sensei I was not aware of your lesson.Whipoorbill informed me just now during a walk that your had a lesson for me and I obviously had not found it.I pray I do not rip the rice paper and that I snatch the pebbles from your hand with this answer. The answer to the riddle is this. What flower...

I can smell Delaware bay from my house.I think I just heard a Rebel Yell also.Yep I'm South Jersey.

Thanks Chris:-) We barely touched the ponds themselves on that trip,at least the Menantico ponds though we did get a good look at the ponds further southeast.menantico ponds are truly a paradise.Islands all over the place and i have many times looked down into the water and seen snappers glide...

saw a barred about eight years ago just south of red oak grove.flew across the dirt road as I was headed south toward 72.he landed in a tree 50 ft from the road and 20 ft off the ground.I scoped him for sometime with binoculars.

Blue holes start out sterile because they are land locked pristine spring water to start out.Once abandoned fish come in as eggs stuck to wading birds legs,mostly ducks and such.Vegetation falls into the water to start a food base along with insects for smaller fish and larger insects and after...

Always an ass to spoil the hole. have seen plenty of busted glass in swimmin holes but never syringes.I have never swam there but have been there,always wanted to go back and swim,guess I won't be doing that now.

skinks are more secretive then fence lizards which are visible everywhere running up trees as you approach.Skinks are usually found under boards and such where it is moister.If scared they seem to run under things more so then up things like fence lizards.Ground skinks are similar to five lines...
