Me, Kenny and Chris at the same spot we mugged at in February. (No floe this time though.) |
Box turtle gets spooked, makes a splash on the Toms, April 26, 2009.
Trip: Toms River / Put-in: Winding River Park / Take-out: Rt. 166 biz park / 4.61' at 246 cfs / Air temp: 88
Just can't seem to go wrong with this trip -- it's become the new Oswego. It's a short, easy paddle, so far always runnable.
Me, Kenny and Chris headed out on a Sunday afternoon taking my truck and the van for shuttling. This time Kenny used Tim's boat. It took him a little getting used to, since it's a short, wide, rec-fishing boat. But after a bit he was dodging strainers and eating only just a few bushes on the bends.
We spooked several box turtles sunning on logs after the powerlines. As we neared the downtown area. We spotted 3-4 small, ratty tents on the west side of the Toms that appear to be inhabited by homeless folks.
The weather was great, in the high 80s -- I even went for the first swim of the season.
