You am crazy bro. Burton Baton ?

I did some Pinelands permitting for a sand operation in Hamilton behind the AC racetrack a number of years ago. The Pinelands Commission recognizes the indigenous qualities of sand mining in the pines and the permitting process is not as bad as it is with residential development This...

I was thinking "Lucky" all along. With a very happy ending landing in a nice warm home, the name certainly fits. Scott

A quiet walk indeed. No furbearing critters to be seen or heard. Just looking for a change of scenery and quietude. Muzzleloader ends Friday in my zone and I hope to bag one locally tonight or tomorrow night.

I was taking the muzzleloader for a walk down Goodwater Run Road around the Quaker Bridge area today. There is a washout on the west side of the bridge that has a truck swallower scour hole in it where the river breached the road a few days ago. I had my son's woods beater truck but I...

That is a very touching story Ed. You're a good man. I am glad someone from this site can take it. How about a naming contest ?

Merry Christmas to everyone here. God bless all. I'm off to a little Christmas duck hunt on the bogs across the road. Pics to follow, I hope. I am getting a new camera today but I am not allowed to open it until later this morning. Scott

Jerseyman, your Christmas gifts to us are overwhelmingly generous. I am enjoying these excerpts immensely. I feel like the host who has a long lost uncle unexpectedly stop in for a Christmas visit and he has an armload of gifts for everyone in the house. I go scrambling in the kitchen for a...

Welcome to the site. Bring on the early gun club photos ! Scott

You are correct JM, a very pleasant read indeed. I found his assessment of the people of the pines particularly interesting and his descriptions of the endless, forking roads and monotonous landscape are heard today from the uninitiated. A great quote from the article: "All the roads in the...

Mark, If I had to guess, they are referring to the Raleigh Land and Improvement Company. Raleigh carved up most of Waterford proper where I live and some of the roads were actually built, like Wharton Avenue, in the woods in front of my house. I have a copy here at work of the "Town of...

My younger son graduates from Millersville U tomorrow and I went up last night to truck and trailer all of his life's belongings back home before this hit. We have to go back tomorrow for the ceremony at 1:00 p.m.. Should make for a scenic drive through the Amish farmlands.

I'll try to find out today or tomorrow.

Who is the owner of Wescoat ? Would it be Miller? PM if necessary.

I had dendrology in the winter and almost everything I learned is based on bark and buds. I say a mature white oak based on the bark in the photo. The tree has no uniform, furrowed pattern to it as a tulip poplar would have. This typical of tulip poplar...

Not much of a birder myself when it comes to the non-eating variety but this picture from Flickr of a juvenile Cooper's Hawk sure looks like the original subject's twin brudder. http://www.flickr.com/photos/musicarver/2274733302/ :)

Looks like a great one boys and the weather was golden. Bob made the right call. Guy, the photos are very nice. I was sorry I had to miss this one but I did enjoy myself in the high country of the northern Pennsylvania deer woods in a rustic, cigarette smoke filled deer camp with a bunch of...

That is a very interesting read Bob. It is surprising how quickly they deteriorated without water. I wonder how long it would have been before they resorted to Filet O'Rich if they had ample fresh water ?

Don't fall asleep if we get lost my friend. ;)

What is that soft, crumbling sound I hear ? Oh, it's just the slag heap seeking a fresh angle of repose. :)
