"I think they should restrict the liveries to the Wading and Oswego and leave the Mullica and Batsto alone." I concur, Ed. "so that park service officials may have authority to better monitor and manage river use" Hmmm...I wonder what this might translate as....

Ah, the Mighty Mullica. My favorite river on the planet. There are three big M's in my book: The Missouri, the Mississippi and the Mullica.

Folks, I'm actually moving to Montana (not to be a dental floss tycoon) in a few days. Wish me luck. I will post pictures in due time.

"The rangers, just like police, must have probable cause to search your vehicle.'" But not in reality......They make up the rules as they go.

About a mile above Constable bridge on the Mullica is an old iron mining site in the form of a bog. There is a passageway which connects the bog to the river which I suspect was used to load small vessels. One can see wooden remains and several pipes sticking out of the mud. Does anyone know...

Steve, Do you know why the road is named Riders Switch? I've paddled the upper batsto from about 2 or so miles above the bridge near Hampton furnace to its confluence with the Mullica. The section which parallels Rider Switch was a nice stretch, as I recall. At one point there are...

Gotta love the Batsto, Steve. Tell me, what exactly is Riders Switch?

Grizzlies in jersey, eh?

"Reminds me of the conversation between the atheist and the Quaker: Atheist: How can you say there is a God? Have you seen Him? Have you touched Him? Quaker: You say you have a brain--have you seen it? have you touched it? And YOU say you have a brain?" This is not a convincing analogy. The...

longacoming, you didn't need to get a camping permit?

Harassment at the Bass River State park campground Since this has largely become a thread to vent about Rangers, er..I mean Park Police, I thought I'd share with you all an incident that befell a couple of my good friends over this memorial day weekend. My two friends and another couple...

"if new jersey was connected to other states I would think that there would be a slight chance of one being here." But there are occasional reports of cougar sightings in N.Y. and even in northern new jersey...
