NJ>Round Valley paddle>5-17-2014

I'm Heading to Round Valley 5-17-2014 for an overnight. The boys are away at a scout camporee that weekend and I need to get out. I'm going to paddle in early Sat morning set up camp and then go fishing. Any and all are welcome to join me.

Ratdog talked me into a fishing license so I would love to come. However, the wife is graduating with her master's degree and my son has a two-day rowing regatta that weekend so sadly I can't make it. Enjoy!

Finally getting a chance to sneak away, eh?

I'm interested - I'll consult the schedule keeper, and let you know.

Actually, I might be able to make it, though logistics may prevent me from bringing my canoe as I'll be in Philly for my son's regatta (I would not take my canoe and leave it overnight on my car in inner city Philly). If I can't hitch a ride on your boat, Mike (or you've already started paddling by the time I arrive), how long is the hike in?

I think its around 3-4 miles.

Yeah, website says it's 3 miles from parking lot into the campsites - that assumes you go counter-clockwise around the reservoir. But it looks like you can go clockwise instead, and make it 5 miles.

Just talked to the wife - she is coming to Philly on Saturday to relieve me of my parental duties so I can skedaddle:
R-U-N-N-O-F-T

However, if my canoe is needed or desired for this trip, somebody might have to come and get it, or I could drop it off to somebody on my way to Philly.

Heh … I was wondering whether you were going to post video clips of this.

Just got my new Dutch oven

Now just need to break it in.
I think I can fit all 4 racks of ribs into this one.

Getting ready to head out. I'm going to stop and pick up a bundle of dry wood to get the fire started today.
