i used to get mine in the winter. easier to get through the bogs of rensselaer county then...at least for me...back when i lived there. loved that standing dead wood.The usually swamp like areas of my woods are bone dry. It would be a great time to haul some wood out, if it weren't so damn hot!
Amen on that one, Charly!I'm hoping the lack of rain has dehydrated the ticks
They were so bad last fall, I hated to even go in my woods. Walked my main woods trail with my dogs and cat, never went into the brush. When we got back I pulled a total of 6 ticks off my dogs and cat alone, 2 off of my carhart hooded sweat shirt and 3 off my tee shirt underneath! They were bad!Amen on that one, Charly!
It has been humid up in this area too, can't wait for August!one thing about the forest, if it has a lot of canopy and mid-growth, seems like it stays lush and green given there is humidity. Not sure about your area, Zap, but where I am at it has been downright WICKED humid. I can handle the heat, the humidity is the killer.......
Same here in Central IL. Everyone is sick of it. I have had my weather station, see link in my sig. since 2006. I average between 35 and 43 in of rain per year......This year, 10.71 so far. It's bone dry! Oh, Zap, the woods doesn't look like that here.We are at .45" of rain since the first week in May. Now in the "extreme drought" category.
All the corn and beans are a total loss, most corn not even worth cutting for silage (two feet tall and completely brown).

That's neat, maybe we can meet up some time.I'm right across the border from Tuscola.
We finally had rain all night long, still raining pretty good, it looks like the heavier rain will come in this afternoon. We finally mowed the lawn yesterday (1st time since the end of June) the battery in the yard tractor needed charging.Same here in Central IL. Everyone is sick of it.

Thunder was shaking the whole damm house!We finally had rain all night long, still raining pretty good, it looks like the heavier rain will come in this afternoon.

Looking at the radar, it looks like Dennis might have gotten some good rain this morning, hope you get some. We looked like for a while we were going to get some, but it dried upBy some of the weather models it looks like the worst of the storms will stay south of us, stay safe.
