    Sound identification

    Thanks Al!!!! They sure made a lot of noise for such little creatures! Correct pics? Northern Grey Tree Frog Fowlers Toad This was my first time searching for and trying to identify the sounds of the pines. I am so glad I recorded it. Am thinking it would make a cool ringtone, hehe....

    Sound identification

    Thanks Guy! I think it is a different sound than the file you sent me, but I can not be sure. Let me know what you think. I sent you the file...

    Sound identification

    I was out in Wharton last night in the Hampton Rd area and heard some great sounds coming from the a small area near the intersection of Stokes and Hampton Rds. I recognized a tree frog and a bull frog, but there was a third sound (dubbed the "screechy thing", hehe) that I could not identify...

    Amatol reports and mapping

    That is a pretty good thought Sue. If Joe has some more info, I would definitely be interested in hearing it. And yes...that chair is STILL there. Along with the tricycle....

    Amatol reports and mapping

    Yes, that seems right. Sometime today I will post a map with the interesting things that I have found plotted out. I plan on trying to compare it with some of the old maps of the area if I get a chance. I'll keep you updated...

    Amatol reports and mapping

    Boyd, I have 70-80% of the area mapped out on my GPSr. Just haven't overlayed it with the old maps, topos and aerials yet. It is a learning process for me. I believe that the area you are showing is where the old pouring and cooling buildings are. I don't think those buildings are the ones...

    Amatol reports and mapping

    The thing that really confused me was this "trench". I had it marked from my last visit. A couple of feet deep and maybe 2 ft wide (if that), I had noticed a "pit". The indentation in the ground measured about a 3-4 ft diameter. Just a depression in the earth, but if you look closely there...

    Amatol reports and mapping

    My second stop took me to what I believe to be the "pouring and cooling" buildings. These buildings are pretty intact ruins. There is an angle of about 15-25 degrees of the outer walls pointing inward which made me believe that they are the P&C buildings. There were three of them in a row...

    Amatol reports and mapping

    The first day... Near where I parked, there was a foundation that was very close to the road. No ruins, no building. Just a foundation that looked like it had "steps" and about 6 or 7 rooms. I then went to what I originally had marked as a "hole". It brought me to a concrete hole in the...

    Amatol reports and mapping

    As I have said on the other thread about Amatol, one of my pet projects has been exploring and trying to map out the area. I started this in November or early December with my friend Pete, who was shortly thereafter deployed overseas to Qatar/Iraq. We originally went out there after a new...
