we drove out to madras oregon for the 2017 eclipse, which was quite the experience. I think texas will be the best shot in the US, but wow that is a drive. We have friends who are flying to the pacific coast in mexico, but that is out of our league right now

Wind Cave is really something. That elevator ride down tho... eek. I enjoyed the lands around the caves more than the cave itself. Make sure to check out the Journey Museum in Rapid City if you want to get a great idea of the native experience during that time. It is quite shameful. I didn't...

hi everyone, just an update on this: Through SustainableEHC we applied for an AC Electric resiliency grant to improve this section of city lake park. We won and now are moving forward with installing kiosks, trail markers, interpretative signs, and benches. We also are going to plant trees to...

great write up, thank you for sharing!

I came across this post on FB. I'm really excited about these trails. I love how one of the trails is known as the 1808 trail, highlighting its history as a road. I hope to one day see some signage about the history Grand Opening: Four New WSF Hiking Trails Put on your hiking shoes and join us...

I’d like to see the details about the program. Especially regarding how the funds will be used. Will the money go to enforcement and protection, or just go into the general fund to get spent outside the pines? I can’t really see a permit system helping stop the destruction of sensitive areas...

No clay under this one. There was about 3-4” of ash and sand, and then it turned into just sugar sand

There is a spung (or at least it appears to be a spung) near the EHC lake. I've been meaning to get back there for quite some time, but i've never attempted to go during winter. Every other time I've tried during spring/summer, the brush was too thick to get anywhere close to this feature. I...

I want to share some photos and update this thread. Gabe and I walked around the EHC lake a month or two ago. He pointed out a spot on LIDAR that had potential as a charcoal mound. Today I was finally able to get over there and check it out, and it is indeed a charcoal mound. I took my 11 year...

Those kilns sure look similar to a spot on LIDAR by me that I've yet to check out. Gabe pointed it out to me on LIDAR when we were recently walking around the area. Once the snow melts I plan to take a look Here is the spot https://boydsmaps.com/#19.00/39.564004/-74.616150/lidar2021bw/0.00/0.00

Great discussion. Kemp's Nest of Rebel Pirates is a fun read about the battle if anyone reading this hasn't heard of the book. I'm sure many of you have already read it. From what I remember (i don't have my copy on me), the British never pushed past Chestnut Neck on foot or in boats b/c of...

I love tracing out these old roads. It can be really hard to trace them through the cedar swamps. Nature seems to take them back faster compared to roads through the uplands.

Good news! About 150 people showed up to the meeting. So many people spoke out against this project. No one from the public spoke in favor of redevelopment. We were able to get council to rescind their vote from Nov 18th that accepted the planning board's determination to classify the lake as a...

I think there will be a big turnout tomorrow. Our goal is to get them to rescind the vote they held on Nov 18th (that wasn't on the agenda) I understand the need to bring in business, but I will never support taking away a public park to achieve those goals.

Here is the report being used to classify the park as an area in need of redevelopment

i'd also like to see the plans, but even if it is a top notch development project, they are still taking land from public ownership and giving it to a private developer for profit. That is enough to oppose the project, at least in my opinion

thanks, i will update my own bookmarks. I didn't realize the site switched over.

It's very clear that these lands belong to the public. I'm hopeful the public will prevail. It is sad that the project has gotten this far.

Some info on the deed... This is the deed, pre-typewriters. The city park is referenced on page 462. On page 467, the deed reads "And it is hereby particularly remarked and conditioned, that all the above named and described Public Places and avenues, streets, and back streets are forever to...

To concerned citizens, The Egg Harbor City Council has started the process of condemning the 400 acre City Lake Park. This park encompasses the land around and including the Egg Harbor City Lake & Campground. You can get an idea of the enormous size of this park by looking at the parcel map...
