Risely is short but ultra sweet! Definitely remote.

I tease you, Bob. Nothing better than taking one's time on the river. Good to see you doing these paddles.

That's a tough question to answer. I think I'd include the Skit, Tulpehocken and Nescochague, yes. I'd also include sections of the Mechescatauxin (Sleeper Branch) and the Oswego above Oswego Lake.

Oh, and 5 hours? You're getting slow in your old age!

Love the upper Wading. The only stretch of river below Chatsworth Lake that I have not done is the stretch below the reservoir to Speedwell, because there simply isn't enough water. I've paddled a bit upstream from Speedwell before, but didn't get far. I wouldn't advise starting at Chatsworth...

S-M, Could this have been the location for one of these splash dams?http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.47481475175483&lng=-74.7706415097046&z=16&type=lidar&gpx= Note the ridge-like feature across the paleochannel in the Lidar image.

Ah, thanks, Toitle!

Say, Spung-Man...is this the oxbow you speak of? http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.490307960708684&lng=-74.75523490112306&z=17&type=nj1930&gpx=

I don't k ow about the Dead River but Mare Run is named such on Gordon's 1828 map and still bears this name today.

Definitely beaver. You will find these features where beavers frequent. The purpose of these features is a mystery to me, but perhaps they make it easier for the critters to crawl out of the water onto land.

Jack Leek had intended to build more houses. That plan never materialized.

I've dived many stretches of pine barrens rivers but have never come across a shell of a dead slider. This seems strange to me because I'd figure that the river bottom would have its fair share of shells. So my question is where do these turtles go to die?

The canal is in the same place. There must be a culvert on Hampton road.

Great compliments, Mike. I greatly appreciate the feedback.

Yes, sir. I will start writing an article. It might be slow-goin' though. I have a few ideas for a topic, but am open to suggestions.

Oh gee, here I had thought that Wharton Sate Forest was densely populated. Silly me.

I'd think that population density might be relevant here.

Excellent pictures, Chooch!

Nice to meet you, Mike. Thanks for your support! I hope you thoroughly enjoy the music.

Would I be correct in thinking that Rob A. approved this route?
