    Tuckers Island returns?

    How would a cut through at the refuge have such a negative impact on the businesses to the North? What am I missing here?

    Flood paddle

    An abandoned meander of the Mullica. Nothing like kayaking through the thick of a cedar swamp.

    Flood paddle

    Made it out for another flood paddle in the wake of Irene. The water was about 2 and 1/2 feet higher than last time! Pictures to come.
