I remember it like it was yesterday. My dad picked up me and a buddy up at Square Circle where we were playing ice hockey on the lake. My dad had a yellow '67 Impala convertible with three on the tree. This was back when lakes froze in the winter, before Al Gore put the voodoo whammy on us all...

That goose looks like his parents might have pulled an Obama. :)

Life sounded so much more grand and stylish back then. In reality, it is just the style of the writing and not necessarily the event itself that imparts that perception.. Today an article on the opening of a rail line would most certainly not be so well written and would probably not receive...

That is the location of Belleplain State Forest at present Guy. Looks like you guys had a great trip. I wish I could have made this one because that area is unexplored territory for me.

This article from the Montana Trappers association says that they often lope and then slide as they travel. http://www.montanatrappers.org/furbearers/river-otter1.htm This article talks about the sliding and its uniqueness. http://www.otternet.com/ROA/Fall1999/otterslides.htm The fish...

I vote otter. They will do their slide even across a flat surface from what I have read. I have seen and photographed otter slides on grassed slopes adjoining bogs and it is an amazing phenomenon. Otters are animals that appear to do things to purely to have fun, which is out of the normal...

Beautiful Ed. I love winter and the rugged beauty it brings.

I later found that the Mrsid viewer has been updated and after downloading the latest version, it works well with the new maps too.

This guy has had this for a few years and the website has made the rounds of all the sportsman's associations emaillings. According to the owner, he will be shutting down at the end of this month, relocating and starting up again in September Here is another popular deer cam...

Thanks Boyd. I have the MrSid viewer but I had no luck in opening the maps. I resorted to the Global Mapper and everything worked fine. Scott

That's interesting Dragon. I assumed the turtle was a redbelly since the one I found two years ago definitely was. I thought maybe death and weathering caused the red color loss. The shell is 13" x 8". The shell is olive brown on top and glossy, while the bottom is a dull yellow. Red eared...

I left it intact and I want to go back again and do some more forensics. As I said, I didn't find a head and he was entwined under a small branch on the stump. It is probably a common water snake from its location on a narrow dike between two bogs. I am like a little kid when I find stuff...

Nice outing Guy and Jess. I just walked past the one on the Albertson off 206 yesterday afternoon and I thought of you two. That is the one where my son and I ran into you a few years ago while hunting. That area is now almost completely swept clean of deer, unfortunately.

You are a regular Tom Bodett! That was a neat run Ben. I always thought about doing something similar along the Black Horse Pike as it passes through the pines. Beginning in Cecil and headed east, there area lot of unusual motels, buildings and businesses, some abandoned, some not, and then...

That is the second one I have found in that area. The other was about two years ago and I posted pics of that one too. That one was fresh. The one I found yesterady was as clean as a whistle and it really looked out of place in the middle of that road.

Yesterday I set out to check out a few dikes that I haven't seen in awhile. They werent home though, so I went out in the woods instead. :) I was actually looking for critter tracks and some future snare locastions and came across some unusual finds. I am always looking at the ground for...

I got up early yesterday to take advantage of our brief deep freeze hoping to get some good ice photos along the Albertson Branch near my house. I had my woods puppy, Hunter, with me who is a 5 month old Springer. It was a balmy 7 degrees when we left the house. Surprisingly, the open bogs...

I was struck with some strong emotion for some odd reason when I wrote that at lunch today. I think about how short of a time we have to do things more and more as time goes by. I buried two good friends in 2007 and 2008 that were my age and it sticks with me. I work with people that are...

4.) (For those of us over 50) We are still in strong physical condition, enough so as to be able to pick a little travelled and lesser known waterway or bog system off of a map and exlore it to its very source with no roads or trails. We do so without a whimper and feel a satisfaction deep in...

At least out that way dental benefits are not much of a concern for a new hire. :) My apologies in advance.
