Oswego (downstream)

Big ham passing through Martha Pond Jan. 12, 2008.

Trip: Oswego downstream to Harrisville (me and Chris)
Put-in: 10:10 a.m. / Take-out: 12:20 p.m. / 3.07' / 84 cfs /Outside temp: 40s 

After this summer's drought, this was a welcome winter trip. Little slow, little low, but overall a great day on the Oswego (really, I didn't mean for that to rhyme).

Sightings: Several beaver houses, white-tailed deer (1) and the usual riverside growth of cedar, pine, inkberry, cranberry, sheep's laurel, sphagnum moss, pitcher plants (withered).

Passing through Martha Pond was slow going, longer than I had remembered. See here for more about Martha Furnace http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nj/martha.html
