All,

Earlier this month Bob sent this edited email out to all members of PBX.


Hey explorers,

That last trip was tough for some of us old guys. So, in order to have a fun and easy day, a day of friendship, gabbing, and laughs, we are going to visit the legendary Forks, where the Batsto meets the mighty Mullica.


We should get some good fall color, with huckleberry, black gum, red maple, and sassafras. Let’s hope it’s a nice, sunny, crisp day!

This is just south of Batsto Village. This trip is about 3 miles, no sweat. EASY!

Let me know if you plan to come.

Happy Trails!


If you ask them, they will come. And come they did ...... the biggest turnout in 20 years! And some had last minute commitments and were unable to attend.

We expolored the area between Batsto and the Forks crossing the woods in places we have mentioned in previous posts.

At this location Bob gave us a little show in the video just below.

A really nice area in the middle of the oxbow.

A couple photos, I did not take much, was just relaxing and looking around. This first one is at the end of the groove in the swamp. You can't see it, but on the right side is an extensive back-water area. These are phone photos, unfortunately.
