Al, chances are that is wild rice cut grass you encountered. It is more and more prevalent these days, even on the upper reaches of the Batsto. http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/grasses/plants/rice_cutgrass.htm

Jason, I am fairly certain that is Epipactis helleborine. Not a Pinebarren native, but as my good friend Oji will say...becoming weedy 'round here.

No, I don't think non-indiginous plants will grow there. You will get Gaylusaccia and Ilex as pioneers, then eventually Quercus will crowd them out. They'll have to cut every few years.

Very cool.

Nice! Good job.

Sad.

Aww, c'mon. I'm having too much fun with the clues. Alright, here's a good one. They thought there was a deer farm there.

Mellie, That does not sound right. You mean Atsion Lake? How did he get it there?

Wait, I have a better clue. It is right at the forgotten place that always comes up in conversations once in awhile. Even Beck was always wondering what went on there.

Give you a clue...little hilly around there. The road you see int he distance starts to climb too.

No Karl. I'm not sure if that is a good guess or not, I'm not familiar with it....over by medford, right?

I thought about that too....it would take a lot of digging to eliminate a backup of the pond water. The best thing is to move the beaver.

Very nice Jason.

I tend to be flexible and fair (I think). So I am going to say that I think the Forest Service's policy to brush-hog 12 feet on each side of certain roads for a fire break has turned out to be a suprisingly good thing. :cool: It is pleasing to the eye, and if they do enough of them, they won't...

I happened to be there on my bike tonite. You did a hell of a lot of work. Good job. The piles are now taller than me.

Man, that Summer on Atsion is sharp. I can almost smell the water by the trees on the right.

Whoa, that sounds like a serious ride!

Guy, I believe that experimental plot was right next to the fire tower across from the Boy's Colony.

Oh, he killed that guy years ago. :D

Pan, I don't know...maybe my memory is short....but I was not bothered as a kid. I lived a little over a half mile from the little country store at the lake. I went barefoot all summer...back and forth to the store and lake so often my skin was like leather. And yet, none of us never complained...
