I spent a couple days with family in Lumberton. On my way back home yesterday, it seemed worthwhile to stop and check on water at a few local sites.
At Smithville, there was precious little difference in depth between the two sides of the dam.
It was no shock to find some flooding at Lumberton.
In Vincentown, by Trinity Episcopal Church, there wasn't much room left for water under Mill Street.
At Kirby's Mill, along with the excess of water, I also discovered a dead beaver along the side of the road. It was the first I had seen hit by a vehicle.
Medford was good and soggy too. Fortunately, I had my boots with me in the car. The water was up just past my ankles in front of the footbridge.

On the other side of Stokes Road, the path that runs behind Park View Cemetery was good and flooded.
Medford mud ripples
In addition to Rancocas Creek, I also took a look at the Mullica across 206 from Atsion Lake, down at the boat launch by Atsion Furnace. The water had filled that little gully in the driveway. There was still plenty of water left to go zipping down the river with alacrity.
This is looking east from 206. There was too much Mullica to fit into the picture.
