Mike, I'm somewhat dumb about astronomy, but isn't it Earth that is moving?

Doesn't that remind you of something? Its the reason I would not put tupperware geocaches in the deep woods hideaways that I go to. Glo, the Mountain Laurel is best in early to late June. It is frequent in much of the pines. We have a lot in Ocean County in Greenwood Forest, and Howard Boyd...

Jeff, I was thinking this morning that the one guy I know that would go with Gabe would be you.

I don't think so Gabe. You know me by now. I have a fear of water in some situations, and that is definitely one of them. If you got pulled under you could have been trapped under a tree or the bank of the creek. The water would hold you there until your life expired.

Good story Gabe. But don't do that again--at least not alone.

This guy might just have a problem. What can he be thinking? It will be difficult to come up with something more revolting next year...

Nice Jerseyman, very nice. The description of the lake brings back some memories I have of Hampton Lakes, along route 70. I moved there in 1961, and we had our pavilion, and pike, and turtle log too. That was 49 years ago, and its odd to think that this gentleman was at Kenilworth just 56 years...

Superb Bill, as usual. I like the golden water flowing over the spillway. Al, are you wearing something akin to sneakers on this Tuesday outing in freezing weather? What does Momma say about that?

That is interesting. I never knew they used charcoal to ignite coal. I imagine they found another way after awhile? By the way, I purchased the 1898 NJ Geology Report. Inside, State Geologist J. C. Smock makes the observation that Pines do not grow here because they prefer the soil, they grow...

Boy Mark, you must really be a thorn in their side. Good!

Those are interesting statistics regarding our fragrant and most unique tree (that's what I like best about pitch pine-each one has its own personality). I wouldn't want to be the guy to have to find those hybrids, they all start to look alike! Thanks for looking about Mark. PS: Sarah...

That was an excellant article. That gentleman could write very well, though he was certainly pompous. But all in all, very well written, and a good story. Made me laugh out loud a couple time. I like this part... "We had driven no great distance, when my companion lifted his whip, and...

Oh, okay....I thought your statement was kind of geared towards that. Thanks for clearing that up.

I know Jerseyman-of course I understand you are not posting things that you think are all factual. After all, they are written by others. I was only commenting on the material within the article.

Sarah takes a bit of a holiday from some of her facts. She says some pines grow 300 feet high outside of the pines. Not so. Even the General Sherman tree is less than that. But, all in all, I can't really fault her, she seems to have known quite a bit.

Nice lens you have Drifter. Looks cold up there.

Greg, that happened to me once too. They thought I had a stroke, but it was an inner ear infection. I could not walk a straight line.

Excellant information Jersyman. Thanks for putting this together. I never heard that about Pursh. It sounds plausible. Further down in your post, when stopping at the hotel(s), the girl indicated that... "I got out of the wagon and was shown into the sitting room of the hotel where there was...

...."surrounded by squalid, ignorant women—half-naked and half-savage children, and wholly savage dogs". Oh, but that is cruel. Not everyone can be the Brady Bunch. ..."Hammonton station was at first designated by a lime-hogshead set among the bushes, having a board attached to it on which...

You've really got me thinking about this Al. You're right, there are no roads to it. How about this....if you remember, Lakehurst NAS in the 1920's thru 1950's was an important development and test area for Lighter than air. They did some strange things back then...trying different things out. I...
