i know this isn't in the pines, but it is a nice day trip. you could include Fort Mott and ferry to Ft. Delaware. there are pics on Placemarks on the maps. if you decide to kayak it check tide charts for high tide

Karl,

Nice photo's. What are the look-outs actually used for? Are they just to get a better view or is there another reason for them?

If you don't mind answering, how much is the cost for you to use Google?

there is no cost for google maps. i use my spot tracks to start a map.

lookouts are for bird watchers. you can see over the meadows to Delaware from them. there are some nesting Bald Eagles out on the electrical towers.

I just noticed looking at that map that the Delaware/New Jersey state line is right on our coast. Didn't we win a court battle pushing it back to middle years ago?

Re the court battle, NJ lost. State boundary still the high water mark of a prescribed circle around New Castle. Thats why parts of Supawna that consist of river dredge may be in Delaware!

What is the significance to NJ if it had won?

The big issue is when you are fishing in a boat and your not not aware you have drifted into Delaware.

I work with a guy who is from Pennsville and he said as a teenager they used to party in the Delaware portion of Supawna Meadows because the NJ police couldn't bust them there and Delaware didn't want to be bothered with crossing the bridge.He said the only thing they had to worry about was the Coast Guard and they could be seen coming a mile away across the river and they would be outta there before they made a landing.
