A Crawleys paddle, again.

[ecampbell]

This paddle never ceases to amuse me.
We started at the Mullica canoe launch just above Batsto on Rt 542.

Some sand art:

OOOOZZZZE, Iron leaching out from a hill. I first wondered how to spell Ooze but then realized it wasn’t a word but rather an experience.

Somewhat reminiscent of the science fiction movie The Blob.

An neglected boat.
Now probably an environmental hazard
It’s been on a long road to Davey Jones’s locker

A pic from 2005

You can’t get lost at the Forks.

The Sweetwater Marina is still active

The ghift shop and what probably is the Tike Bar.

Nice day for a paddle Ed. Did you tie up at the Casino and take a look around ?

No,we always wanted to paddle up but found no way to get to it due to a high bulkhead and neighbours "keep off" signs.

Interesting sand art. As usual, nice post!

Cool Sand Art. Someone took some effort to do that. I guess at the first hard rain it will be history.

Sand art is kind of . . . inspiring.

Ed,
Wonderful. I simply can not tire of that stretch. So many cool things, still tidal so one pass may be easy the other hard. One pass dark and concealing, the next, many secrets revealed. Gabe knows this last to be fact better than most I suspect. Sometimes the going is calm, others at a good pace. Fom my uncle's up past the bent creek section and below the mill, lot's of fun. Glad you enjoyed your day.
I once tried to tie up with my daughter for lunch a couple years back. It really doesn't seem like they make it too inviting for paddlers to come a calling, agreed.

A few friends once paddled to the Casino to enjoy some 22 oz Ommegang bottles a couple summers ago. We pulled our kayaks onto the floating dock and went in for some beer. We probably weren't supposed to do that, but whatever. Yeah, they need to make it more inviting for us lowly paddlers.


Ed, is it Crawley's or Crowley's? ( :

The Blob's a riot. Is it just me or does it have eyes?

Yes, it is Crowley's. I think beer was involved when I wtote this thread.
