Yes, Tom.

This fell from a tree into the stream mud. I know the genus, but not the species. Saw a lot of this in the wilds behind Makepeace Lake.

Yes, I like it north up if at all possible. Someone who does maps well is National Geographic. If it's not north up, it's clearly stated which direction north is.

Of course, your purpose for using the GPS is different than mine. I'm meandering, looking for plants that grow where they will, and in that regard, I usually ignore the GPS, since even if the terrain is bad, I must search nook and crannies. You, in contrast, nearly always have a possible target...

I'm a north up man as well. If your device is north up when you look at it to see where you are, having it north up saves so much time, because you don't have to guess what direction the top of the screen depicts. I recall having a light-hearted discussion on this topic with Boyd, who was...

No Al, I was along Dias Creek on USFW property. It's fairly common in wetlands in that county, as I first saw them on Green Creek.

Yes, loblolly is there in certain places, locally abundant. A good place to see it is Woodchuck Preserve, open to the public; in the lowland in the southern portion. I encountered this gaggle of them along the salt marsh.

Saw a massive tree with roots you could see (on the other side) sticking up from the ground 10 feet away from the base. It's size made me go "ooomph!" when I saw it. Unfortunately, it's dead. Maybe a sweet gum?

Found a car on Green Creek that has to be from the 50's I'm thinking. So old, and incredible as to how it got back there.

These black caterpillars are all dead on the trees, but the swamp chestnut oak always had them on, whereas few other trees did not have any on them.

I'm sure one of you will get this photo. Also, saw my first red-headed woodpecker down there. The temp in Cape May County was kind of pleasant today.

When I bought my new car in December, I read the fine print that said they would share my driving data with "partners" unless I opt out. So, I followed the bread crumbs to opt out. It took some fancy internet turns to find it, but I found it, and they sent me a statement verifying that I opted...

But John, all GPS units like the Garmin brand (which I still have in my truck) do that. I'm sure you've used them before.

I'm not. Would definitely ruin my day. What about you...

I've never seen that brand. Very interesting. Did you look it up? https://the-soda.fandom.com/wiki/Veep

"Because he's not only a hockey icon; he's a cultural icon. Almost like Mickey Mouse. Or Mario." Okay, yeah.

I don't think I've ever since the color pink on Rose Pogonia be carried into the vein on the bract.

No, its behind the FAA tower, right about here. To be fair, that's pushing into a lowland, but still, during a serious drought it was full of water.

I went back yesterday. Although the greening has begun, I'd give this one a couple years or more to build it all back up again. Plenty of Rose Pogonia, but other herbs are running behind.
