Great photos, Guy! I especially love the ones up in the trees. Famous old John Muir used to climb trees in blizzards to better experience the storm. I never saw guys riding the rails in jeeps like that before! Does the Jersey Central approve? And speaking of places that I found but never found again, I once came across some giant orchards on the Batona Trail.
I'll see if I can gather up the other old photos I've scattered around this place and put them all on this thread, plus post some new ones, but I only know how to do it thumbnail style, but I guess that's OK.
"I thought I was the only admitted clandestine camper on site." No way. Clandestine camping is best. I remember talking to a policeman in the Barrens once. He told me there had been a murder at the public camp ground the night before. Those places are trouble. I worked up at the Grand Canyon a couple of years ago. The first week I was there 3 tourists were killed, two by lighting while bike riding on the rim, and one - again - murdered in the public campground. They kept it quiet. A lot of people die at the Grand Canyon, mostly by falling. There's an interesting book all about it.
And as for you, Mister Rednek, no, we're not old at all. My age happens to be extremely young in geological terms. Why, compared with a bristle cone pine I'm practically a new born baby!
