On the reservation
Ramapo Reservation

Today, I went to Ramapo Reservation to seek Colubrid Cache. This county park is only a few towns from home and just past the end of Ramsey, so I could go there any time, high gas prices or not. However, all the geocaches there that I haven't done yet are more than a mile from the parking area so I need good weather and a lot of daylight to tackle those after work. This evening was a good time to do one of them. The route for this one was easy. It was a steep walk up to the reservoir level and then a bushwhack along the water's edge to the cache site.

After that, I had a prime rib footlong at Subway in Ramsey, which was a repeat of the previous day's dinner. But why mess with a good thing?

Checking my postal mail, I found a notice saying that I'm a member of yet another class-action lawsuit. (How many of these am I going to get in one year?) This time, it's a bunch of Commerce Bancorp shareholders and pension funds vs. ex-CEO Vernon Hill for alleged breach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets. I don't know if there's that much merit to this lawsuit. Hill neglected to separate his various businesses and keep deals at arm's length but otherwise, he ran a great market-beating regional bank for many years. It's over anyway. The company's been sold and CBH shareholders all have TD stock now.

Will you be at one of the flash mod events Saturday?
I'll be at the unisphere one you told me about, even though there is a flash mod now in Northport.

I'll be going to Northport. I already went to Queens last weekend and I heard that there will be a traffic problem near Shea Stadium at the time of the event.

Hmmm wonder if I should switch.
It is closer.
But it's the people...

Yeah... It's the reason why I haven't been going to some events in Northern NJ either.

Well I am going to the Unisphere after all, public transportation
If you are still out on the island latter, maybe we could meet for dinner one of these days.

You're going to Queens twice? Or staying there the whole day?

No, unless you count the Ramapoughs who're actually in a neighboring community up in the mountains.

There's some information about them here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramapough_Mountain_Indians

I'm actually not sure who they are. They live by themselves in an isolated community in the hills. I've driven through their area once and it's a bunch of houses, like almost any other small town. They're probably from a number of tribes in the area.
