+Spoo Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) The other night, I mentioned that here in the North it is pretty hard to do much BM hunting of any significance. Tonight, I was reviewing some of my happier times in the field. I'm sure I have crowed to some of you about this but I hope you will take a moment and look at these sites and my pix. The mountains of Maine and New Hampshire are beautiful country. Whalesback Mountain, ME-NH border Mt. Pleasant, Maine Green Mountain, New Hamphire Ossipee Mountain, Maine I hope you all enjoy! EDIT NOTE: 'mentioned' = whining Edited January 19, 2006 by Spoo Quote Link to comment
Photobuff Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Great recoveries in beautiful places. I visit my parents in Ellsworth ME every summer, and intend to search out some marks near there on the next trip. Quote Link to comment
+Astro_D Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) Geez, I haven't encountered any views/scenery that neat yet while benchmarking. But my own little corner of the BM world is flat, boring and doesn't offer much in the way of fantastic views. I am envious!!!! edit: spelling Edited January 19, 2006 by AstroD-Team Quote Link to comment
2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 So, Spoo, how is the weather in your neck of the woods? How much longer till you see any ground? Anyone else have any good weather that has let you go benchmarking? -- Just wondering...how long will it be before everyone can go play??? Happy Hunting Shirley~ Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Actually, it's been wet and warm in Jersey. We had 10" of snow in December, and nothing since. I was about a half mile from a transverse disk yesterday, but we didn't have time to look for it. We were in Queens clearing caches from AB's Ten-Mile List. Maybe another time. Quote Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Well I have been busy with other things for a while. I guess I am now kinda back. It is always nice to remember the memorable places. With over 900 it is a neverending look. It does not seem it would take that long but I have not reached the end. Keep the mind active and that cabin fever will flee. Quote Link to comment
+ddnutzy Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Spoo. You got me going again with this topic. My knee is all better so I can start hunting again. Today wasn't the best of days on the hunt. I had 8 printed up but only got to look for 2 of them and didn't find either of them. MZ0262 had a wall of ice covering it and MZ1920 had a foot of snow over it. That usually doesn't create to much of a problem but under the snow I kept finding pieces of aluminum window frames and foam insulation. I probably dug 10-12 holes looking for things that the metal detector picked up. I had to have the sensitivity and discrimanation way up because of the depth of the snow so I got some bad signals. Nine hours and 200 miles with nothing to show but a good time. Dave Quote Link to comment
+BuckBrooke Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 7 1/2 hours spent running after disks in Miami, Florida, after the conference was over. Clear weather, skies and nicely warm. 16 found, 23 not found, 2 destroyed. Going to get a few more in tomorrow, before I catch a plane. Quote Link to comment
