I’ve been using LiDAR maps to locate potential ceremonial stone landscapes in my local area. In this video, NEARA member Martin Rapp explains some of his investigations in New Jersey.

@APphysics discovered an old USGS map that referenced a lost CCC ski trail in the Catskills. Using LiDAR images and a slider on the Before and After app we were able to determine that the old map showed the course correctly. He then hiked the trail and recorded it using GPS. Quite a few of...

We are so sorry to hear about Penny, Harvey. May God welcome her with open arms.

Where I come from, rain is good thing.

Don’t tell me what to do! Lol.

Weird Al - committed to the craft.

That’s awesome.

Yes, Tski, thank you for pointing this out. I had been planning this trip for quite some time and thought this weekend would be an appropriate time to pay homage. All of the land on my journey, both public and private, was once the ancestral homeland of indigenous people. Most importantly, we...

Laura Zimmerman and Rob Buchanan have done a lot of local investigations along with Glenn Kreisberg in the Catskills. Check out NEARA, the New England Antiquities Research Association. They are spearheading the effort for research and better understanding. https://neara.org/ The Overlook...

I am, but I don’t share, except for here with an occasional screenshot.

Haha, yes Broski, down the rabbit hole.

My ride time was much shorter but still not fast. I take it slow especially since I’m by myself. I haven’t figured out how to toggle between activities on Strava to show the actual mileage. I hiked most of Roaring Brook with the bike to be safe and shwacking through the rocky mountainside had...

Part Four - Fin Mother Earth There’s other enclosures nearby. This one has a standing stone. I shwack back down and under the Taconic. People in cars fly by at 70+ mph oblivious to what’s in the hills as I have my whole life. I’m not supposed to be here. The park is only open from...

Part Three I whizz passed another stone chamber near Lake Oscawana. And another. And this one with what looks like a collapsed roof. And then this one which I’ve actually been inside of. I did some gardening work for the owners at their house a few years ago and he asked us if we...

Part Two I pop out onto the pavement of Route 9 near the intersection of 301. A short ride south and I’m back onto gravel on the Old Albany Post Road. This is one of the oldest continually used dirt roads in America. Originally a Native American path used by the Wiccopee and Wappinger tribes...

Part One Set out on a pleasant afternoon for a gravel tour from my house through Wiccopee to Fahnestock State Park. This area is rich in history. Human habitation has occurred here for at least 10,000 years, possibly even longer. I started off on country roads passing the old Methodist...
