Life is so very fragile, can't remember the amount of times I've stopped for a dip in swimming holes on all of the Pines rivers. While its no concilation for the family at least he passed doing something he loved. Rest in peace.

Great, As things progress Ill pm you...

Good Point. Historic trust is a great org, but the problem comes from the fact that they work dolling out money for special interest groups representing specific sites themselves, for the most apart anyway. Being the Pines don't have to many (if any) trusts groups for, lets say Weymouth or...

One of my favorites too! Thanks for posting.

As some have already posted, thats some bigger boat territory. As long as I can remember I have never seen a kayak around that section. Earlier this summer I did a piece of the Upper delaware from Bushkill to the Delaware Water Gap. I know its farther north then you were thinking, but some of...

Folks, For a museum we have some interesting little quirks here in Avalon, most notably is the library room. Currently we have a few hundred books dealing with regional and American history in general. We also have online computer access and the ability to access geneology.com. While this is...

The Blind Man and the Elephant It was six men of Indostan To learning much inclined, Who went to see the Elephant~(Though all of them were blind), That each by observation~Might satisfy his mind. The First approached the Elephant, And happening to fall Against his broad and sturdy side...

Super. There'll be a great bunch of people there, some I've hiked all over the place with for years. Always a good time when we get together, and new faces are always welcome.

Some Good Points GermanG, All of us, myself included, have learned through trial and error at times. My first lesson I remember was, at age 8, trying to grab a little snapper turtle from the front.............lessoned learned, fingers intact.:rolleyes: I hate to say it though, but I'm a...

AS a longtime NPS ranger I had my fill of this kind of stuff, there is no monopoly on stupid and irresponsible. I once was involved in a short term stint at the Grand Canyon and was shocked on a daily basis by peoples lack of respect for the big ditch. My first day I was rounding a bend only...

Sounds tasty! Me and woodsy recipes are simple for the most part; 1 part ramen noodles 1 part precooked crab cake= backpacker heaven. I do indulge with a bottle or two of lipton iced tea, I sure do enjoy that after a day of trail time......maybe a beer or two as well. Personally I like to...

Good stuff indeed Furball...Introspective and knowledgable.

Lucky you, that must have been quite an amazing scene to witness..........Im more then a little jealous. :beerspill:

Especially with chiggers!!! :rofl:

Thanks fellas , not quite sure how Im going to move forward yet but all of this is excellent food for thought.

Well if thats the worst thats happened to me outdoors, as a forum friend pointed out, than I'm not doing so bad. I think it was cumulative really. The trail whipped me good and I was pretty exhausted at the time, I just wanted my last wee bit of time to go down with a bit of peace. I thought...

Tulip Bark Canoe---Construction A little off topic, but not by to much I guess. Avalon, Cape May Co's., first vistors were the Lenape. They came to this barrier island for the summer months and fished, hunted, crabbed, etc. When summer ended they returned to their mainland...

Sorry I missed out on such a good time, guess theres always the next trip..... As for flash photography heres the skinny. Artwork on any medium, paper objects and textiles all have what I'll call a "light life." Meaning how much commulative exposure an object can take before deterioration...

My mistake, Batsto indeed

Folks, I'm involved in a joint hiking/kayaking trip on the Batsto and Batona, respectively. Thought it might be nice to open this to some here if there's an interest. The group thus far includes my hiking pals, and numbers about 5 currently with some more sign ons as the date gets closer...
