I said I had an open mind about Facebook, and well, I've been on at least a year now, and I do really like it. I love that people who have had (or hid) historical photos in the closets forever are sharing them with the rest of the us. I really like the groups "Things that aren't there...

Guy had a rough second half, tumbling (literally) into a tributary of Westecunk Creek. He always takes these accidents with good nature, usually joking about them! And here is Chris showing the size of some cedars in that area. We saw many beautifully straight ones too. A very varied landscape...

Nice report Guy. I just woke up after 9 hours. It is definitely not getting easier as I age. After lunch, when I got up, I felt like I did at the "end" of hikes in my early 50's. I'll dig through my camera and see if there's anything on it. The camaraderie, however, gets better and better! How...

How do you feel about it Boyd?

These are weathermen? I'm going down to the docks and find Larry, he'll give me the forecast. BTW, was in Greenwood Forest today, and the wind overhead was pulsing rapidly. I have never heard that before. It lasted 20 seconds.

Ha! No, table 9 was a legend, and now, even the location where table 9 was located is also a legend.

I've always liked Sears. I bought a lot of Kenmore items over the years. They never seemed to pressure me. Bought a lot of exercise equipment from them too.

Thanks Mark. Truly fascinating!

I looked up glaebule, but what are flutes and scallops representing?

Thanks Mark! As always, very interesting information provided by you. I took the rock, but it's under 2" of wet snow in my yard. I'll be uncovering it and giving you more information on it later this week. If I recall, yesterday when I turned it over it appears to be something sheared off an...

I've just read something Spung-man wrote that makes me think of what this rock really is; a silcrete rock that has been subject to intense wind-scalloping and polishing (paraphrased from his writing).

No, but we are in what I call the Pine Barren Highlands here over by 539 in Greenwood Forest. Even the elevation next to the streams is 100' above sea level. I found it close to a cripple (or just a low spot), as indicated by the red line in the map below.

Starting to get my swamp legs working again. Found an interesting stone yesterday, maybe 12" X 7" by 4". Was kicked up by a plow at one of the deer fields. Cannot figure out the pits on the surface. Seemed much heavier than sandstone, and more silicate.

I was gonna say last night that guy looked like Chris, but I thought no, someone else would have said so.

I am sorry to hear of this. I always remember him as a nice guy. Quick with a smile and knowledgeable, but I only met him 2 or 3 times.

Thanks Boyd! I had not drawn any conclusions, hence the 4 question marks in my post. I'm glad you cleared it up. I would LOVE to eventually see the HD Lidar on Ben's site (emphasis on eventually). I can understand how busy you are. Take your time :D Edit: but it would be great if the old LIDAR...

Thanks Boyd, I'd be curious to see what you come up with. Odd that these few (and possibly others not yet found on your Lidar map on the site) are like this, but none else. PS: Have not been able to use Googe Earth for a couple years now. My computer spits it out. One of those things where I...

Could Lidar-derived imaging tell us where the winds barreling down from the top of the Wisconsin ice sheet formed dunes in the barrens? I have no idea, but it's intriguing to see some very smooth terrain on some elevations. Below is Devious, and a couple other spots, near Bulltown Road and...

Nice report! Those photos, especially with the sleet, are very well done.

I think they hope to have the cedar regenerate. http://www.picranberry.com/forest-management/
