Found another site that he posted on. He's actually a member there. Some bigfoot related site. Figures.

Bobpbx,
Not sure if I saw you, lots of people. What were you driving and what area were you in ?

Be nice if he actually asked Ben or Guy if it was ok to spam the board with a dopey website.
First off I do have another account here, I couldn't remember the password and the retreival system was to no avail. Some of the images may possibly be from the galleries here, and as I've listed on the site I will be giving due credit very soon; the site isn't totally complete. The whois information for e-mail is a group e-mail address for 4 people and the only one I had to plug in at the time; but I've since updated that to an e-mail address on my own domain which is more appropriate i think. The post heading contained an FYI flag, being 'for your information'. You dont have to visit if you dont like, I thought you all would appreciate the heads up on a new site being launched. I have spent a great deal of time in those forests taking photos and video of historic areas of interest as to show people the culture that once was. Those things will be on the site within weeks. Lastly, I dont want any of the forests damaged either, I think the pine barrens are fantastic!
I just noticed he linked to my Blue Hole page and wrote next to it (unimpressed account), while others have "decent" or "creepy" accounts.
Am I the only one who finds the Blue Hole rather boring? Does "unimpressed" equate to what's really there? Am I boring because I write about what I witnessed (a scummy pond) and not some nonsense?
Don't get me wrong; there are plenty of stories surrounding the place, some entertaining. But....it's a scummy pond.
Snore.

Stu, a friend of mine drove out there the other day, because he had always wanted to see it, and described it to me using almost exactly those words: "scummy pond."
I wouldn't mind seeing it just to say that I've been there and have the ability to comment based on real-life experience.
Not much to see, but is an area of the woods that gets little attention. The folklore is much more interesting than the reality.

That area is near home for me and I'm out there often. I'm sort of glad the woods get little attention. Except for shotgun season, I usually have it to myself. I have hunted during permit bow and not seen any other hunters. I've spent many hours canoeing the stream through the area and have never seen another boat, while I'm on the water, although I know people occasionally canoe and kayak it. If you like the woods, it is really a very nice area to go.

There are some of us who think places like the blue hole are more than scummy ponds. Their legacy is not just the cultural aspects and the resultant folklore. The blue hole is a relict from the pleistocene era, when the last wave of glaciers was prominent (11,550 to 1,800,000 years ago). They are (or were in most cases) strong springs during periods of intense cold. The constant water issuing from them created many braided channels downstream by their high energy discharge. The "scum" you see is a type of algae. I see many smaller "blue holes" in my ramblings, including the large one in Mount Misery and smaller ones along Cedar Creek. My interest in the pines is a bit less the human history, and a lot more the landscape and natural features. Very neat geographical features.
I guess I can understand why to the rest of you its just a "scummy pond". You were probably influenced by the stories and folklore (and the wow factor), and when you finally arrived expecting to be entertained (like at a movie theater or Disneyland) but were not, you felt cheated.
