Evolution of Web Site
Getting close to anchoring the new and improved, dynamic, vibrant Rancocas Creek Water Trail web site. Want to thank everyone for thier patience.
Ah so its now April. Paddling season is upon the Creek. Numerous sections of the Creek have blow-downs and tree’s fallne across the Creek. Melpine itself sustained some signifiant damage from recent winter storms.
Plenty of work for volunteers. Follow the blog for posted clean up Melpine and other sites along the Creek. It will take some time and effort.
No videos this evening, no yaking shots, no kayak rolls….
Come 21 June the Summer Solstice will be doing a 24 hours photo/drone montage of the Rancocas Creek Watershed. All volunteers. Names of participants to be added to final 1-2 minute video. Video to be presented to the NWT program and others.
Zap back any questions. Video runs from the Pines to to the Tides.
Tinkering Under The Paddle
Yesterday a day of angst and relief. I done left my kayak paddle behind about 4 days ago out in Vincentown. 2 x 4 to my brain. Brian was most helpful pointing out indeed how can you lose a paddle that normally sits 99% of time in your truck? Good question. Super chilled and relaxing would be the argument from my end….So off we go to Vincentown, there by the side of the road on the dam me paddle.
Note to self: When done kayaking make sure you do a check of all gear before driving off. Make sure you inventory all gear. Make sure you think before acting. Make sure Brian is around to poke you something silly for losing ones paddle.
All’s well that ends well.
Meanwhile in this lovely 60 degree weather, plugging away at the evolution of the Water Trail web site. Zap back any “BETA” you think should or should not be included.
