    Sno Train Discussion

    It's hard to tell from your sentence if you mean it's not done anymore period or not done anymore only with modern diesels. I assume the latter.

    RIP 4 Seasons

    I used to go by it on the way to golf at Green Lakes. Always thought of it as a driving range rather than a place to ski but I was purely x-c back then. Downhill was for rich people! 🤠

    Football

    When the Giants were winning 26-8 with six minutes left (a 99% likelihood of winning), I wondered if they were going to put in Russell Wilson during garbage time so Dart could rest for the Eagles!

    Bearpen Mountain, NY: 3/18/23 Going the distance

    Hey CK, apologies for taking 2.5 years to follow up on your post; however, I recently ran across a 2019 obit for Ken Lane (on the right in the pic below), who joined us on the 2015 hike. He would've been 91 at the time of his passing. His brother Ben Lane (on the left) appears to still be...

    The Fire and Rain and Smoke Thread

    Incredible how far it's travelling to reach us: map. Weren't the fires during the 2023 Smokecopalypse closer, i.e. northern Ontario?

    Ramps

    Is that ^^ Taylor Ham? I don't eat meat but as a NJer, I'm fascinated by it -- hopefully they'll come up with a faux version for non-carnivores! Here's the alleged story.

    Ramps

    For the record, I meant that the food arrangement was handsome, not the radioactive Fiestaware plate!

    Ramps

    They'll stink up your fridge. I just keep them in a bag in a cold place, e.g. the garage, or a shaded spot (under my grill).

    Ramps

    I stopped pulling bulbs years ago but one leaf per plant? Gimme a break.

    Ramps

    Yikes, thanks for the heads-up. Glad I posted that pic! I'm clearly a fern novice. That's why I said above that they don't look like ramps I've seen. I know from the TV show Breaking Bad that Lily of the Valley is very poisonous, especially for children.

    Ramps

    The 2025 ramp season is here. Here in Essex County NJ, they're usually fully mature by the last week of April; however, this year they seem to be about ten days behind -- look how narrow and short the leaves are: Fiddlehead Ferns are also late: I only picked 1.5 pounds on Saturday and will...
