    A really big tree

    That saying is just as good as the other one.

    A really big tree

    I think that is a good call. I hate calling trees without the leaves for ID. I initially thought silver maple, but was apprehensive to say it because they usually don't last for a long time.

    Let me turn on my time machine. I think it's the same spot.

    Finding an Old Book

    Speaking of books, this 2017 book I borrowed from Barnegat library is mesmerizing. From design/build, to flight, to death, it's 178 pages of fantastic history.

    Stream Gage Station Along The Oswego River

    I went to this building last year. I don't recall seeing a stream gage, but I always wondered what's inside the building. I think it's private property to get there.

    Finding an Old Book

    More on the one I have. Someone pasted these articles in the back, probably Robert Blanchard himself, since Bisbee thanked him, and Blanchard wrote the newspaper praise.

    Finding an Old Book

    I have what must be an earlier version of that book, signed by the author. I see you mentioned it above.

    Getting into the Pygmy Pines near Warren Grove Range

    I'm only mildly interested in snakes, but from what I see, my uneducated guess is that all in all, they should have just burned the slash. I can't see a pine snake liking that at all. They like burrowing under the base of those pygmy pines, or even in the open.

    Getting into the Pygmy Pines near Warren Grove Range

    Yeah, didn't they pile the sticks in that one?

    Getting into the Pygmy Pines near Warren Grove Range

    I got an answer. It's decaying remains of a slash pile where researchers placed cut pine plains brush that was removed from Broom Crowberry sites to open it up to the sun, and so the slash was placed like that to hopefully enhance pine snake habitat. It was done about a dozen years ago.

    Getting to Mount / Washington without a mudder vehicle or dirtbike?

    "Some people are slow to accept it, but the dedicated GPS is a dying product category today" You always have to put a dig in, don't you Boyd.

    Getting into the Pygmy Pines near Warren Grove Range

    I have a feeling (just a feeling mind you), that dead wood may have something to do with regeneration of Broom Crowberry sites. I do have a person that may know. By the way, does your real first name begin with an "M"? Your profile photo is a bit dark.

    I have no words.

    There really isn't much you can do but post-incident work, like attend a cleanup in the Spring.

    Still Trying To Solve Issues With My Car One Year Later

    Guy, it also sounds like a wind noise. Like the air rushing under there is being funnelled through the frame in an odd way. Did you happen to tear off a fairing on the front of the car in the woods?

    Still Trying To Solve Issues With My Car One Year Later

    Damn! You are so right about that noise. My first thought is tires, but you don't need to say you checked them and the rims many times, I know.
