This is pertaining to the rivers in Wharton: Needs: Although access and parking areas may be considered primitive, it is the nature of the environment and the quality of the wilderness experience, which are priorities, especially along the Lower Atsion and the Batsto. Recommendations...

Well you know what they say. "A family that kayaks together...............Uh......kayaks together. :mrgreen:

The Jersey Devil must have bit a toe off of his left foot.

If you bought a kayak you find that you would do it more that twice a year.

Yes. Started out fine as they had just graded. Further down the soft sandy spots seemed softer and sandier, if that's possible. Put it in 4x4 and low a couple of times. Steve

Here are the photos I promised. From last Saturday, Up-stream from Beaver Pond. Beaver Pond: Up-stream: This Saturday, up-stream from the A/B marker: First dam second dam Approch to the second dam on return. I didn't...

Yes

Same here. I wonder how that frog made out. Steve

That's OK Bob. I thought maybe you didn't see me. The truck behind you, which was not with your group, stopped because he thought I was in trouble with all that honking and all. There is a HUGH savanna along the Mullica not too far west of Constable Bridge. We should check it out some day. Steve

That first dam gave me the most trouble. I had gotten out and climbed up on the dam. That was the easy part. I had a heck of a time pulling my kayak up and over. Trying to keep my balance with one hand on the dam and pulling the kayak with the other, every time I let go of the kayak to re-grip...

Thanks

Well I've spent some time on the Mullica these past two weekends. Last weekend I put in at Lock's Bridge and paddles up-stream 2 miles. Along the way I passed a group of folks that belonged to the Liberty Canoe Club out of the Trenton area. They claim to be the oldest club in NJ. This weekend...

Saw this fellow on the bank of the Mullica on Saturday. He was about a foot long and was sneaking up on a toad or frog. He didn't seem to mind me taking photos.

All it takes is steam.

What Ben said. I'll get out and test the depth of the puddle with a stick also checking for firmness of the road below it. After you spend more time in the Pines you will get to know which puddles are OK to go through and which to avoid. Why Ben bought that Rubicon, I have no idea. :mrgreen...

OK, who would win in a fight, the Jersey Devil or Bigfoot? Steve

Well, first thing I did was slopped up a mud hole in Wharton. Why do you ask? :mrgreen:

I'm not sure where you mean on Rt.70 but along Rt.72 it was the original road to Long Beach Island. It was called Rt. S-40. Rt.70 used to be called Rt.40. My mom says it was a black top single lane road and it used to take her family about 3 to 4 hours to get to LBI from Pennsauken. Today I...

Well there are many ways into Wharton. You could come up Speedwell-Friendship Rd off of 563. That of course brings you to Friendship where the bridge is under construction. You can also enter from Atsion or Batsto too. Steve

Yep. Steve
