    Returning To The Wescoat Bog Area...a PBX Hike

    No, I don't know, but I wanted to make the big trip next year the "other" side of the river with a bit more time to explore in the Harrisville area (and no fooling around crossing the river for no good reason; I'm done with that).

    Old PBE Forums

    Cool idea Ben. I'm betting JeffD was in a tizzy over the fire. Stomping his feet and blaming somebody for forever ruining the woods. Remember his idea to thin the entire forest on a periodic basis? He wanted the pines to be his personal garden. PS: I'd love to see him back on. He's a hoot to...
