I just bought the Garmin 60CSX and a preloaded micro SD card with the topo for the Northeast US (region 7) and it is awesome. The mapping and color screen is worth the extra bucks. It comes with a 64 meg blank micro SD card and you can put a 2 gig card in it. My next purchase is the Bluechart...

About 12 years ago when the taxes were in the 30K range we had a guy come to us and make a presentation on entering our wooded land into a certified forestry program. We would have received farmland assessment on the vacant portion of our land. The membership and Board at the time felt that...

50 +/- acres with a small lake. We have a clubhouse, firearms and archery ranges but a lot of our unimproved land is wetlands and undevelopable. We are taxed on an assessed value of $1.15 million. The assesed value of improvements is $367,000 out of that figure. The real kicker in paying...

I was the secretary and I am now a member of the Board of Directors of Square Circle Sportsmen of Camden County. We were chartered in 1938. Our property taxes recently hit over $44,000.000 a year! They have nearly doubled since around 1986 when they were around $24,000.00 Not a bad deal for...

Nice work boys. Just as good as a pot of gold.

I know I don't have a problem with it and I can't imagine Bill would either. Scott

Great to see you joined the site Bill! With a lot of help from Teegate on here I was able to get the article and picture posted. I will return the photo Thursday night. I am going to Shakey's viewing this afternoon, maybe I will see you there. Scott

As far as I know I think my paint program is Sherwin Williams! I do have Kodak Easyshare software that works with my camera. I will try to bring the picture in to that because it does have resizing options. Thanks for all of your help. Scott

Bob, The photo in post 9 of this thread shows, from left to right, Dave Amato, John Fenimore and my friend Bill Schemel. Bill thinks it was taken around 1947. Bill told me Thursday night that another member of our gun club befriended Dave and he and his wife would stay at Dave's place on...

Thanks Guy. How did you do it?

All I thought I did was upload it to Photobucket. That may have resized it. As I said, I am clueless on this end of the computer spectrum. Guy, I have the scanned image of my friend Bill, John Fenimore a friend of Bill's and Dave Amato. They are standing in front of the house on the garage...

Yes he was Italian, as is most of Hammonton today. I originally scanned it at 600dpi but the file was huge. A friend at work kicked it down to 300dpi and that was emailable at 1.24 meg. I really have no idea what I am doing with the scanner. I am going to attempt it again with some help from...

Over the last few weeks you have seen some information and photos from Guy and myself about a piney named Dave Amato . He died about 25 years ago and his house is still standing. An older friend of mine knew Dave and cut an article out of the AC Press from August 1968 that was about Dave and...

This is the guy who has the camps right at the bend in Columbia Ave about 1/4 mile west of the airport. He uses almost entirely Haitian labor and in the summer, that encampment looks to be way overcrowded. Apparently it was. He just built a huge mansion behind his irrigation ponds a little...

The area where the house is constructed would have met today's technical definition for a wetland but it was never as wet as it is today. Groundwater within 12" of the surface and hydrophytes will get you a wetland designation. As you come down the main road, you will notice a subtle, large...

My wife and I were out near Penn Swamp today but on the way home, I wheeled in to a spot close to home near Parkdale for a photo or two. This is a house that I have been gradually learning more about. An older friend of mine knew the owner and stopped in to visit him quite often. If the owner...

I will be back in CM in a few weeks to pay my bill and I will check to see if I can get a serial no. They still have a lot of work to do before the marina opens. I don't remember if the Swamp Monster has UNIT on the counterweight or not. If I get a chance before chigger season I will check...

That's her. She and I do everything together. Except hunting. She is one of 4 girls and all four love to fish and aren't afraid to play in the mud. Her sister Barabara is working this very morning on the Iditarod in Anchorage as a volunteer!

Well this guy's is! Anyone familiar with the swamp monster along the Sleeper and who has read the research of the crane, knows it was a UNIT crane. They are no longer in production. I was down in Cape May today driving around Bree Zee Lee where I keep my boat and found a working UNIT. The...

Thanks Boyd. I think you are right, the base map is probably on the stock chip that I removed. I tried the unit in my truck today on the way to work and with the Mapsource Topo chip, it shows all the major roads and local side streets . County roads are labelled by name too. I am not going...
