@@edwardwalinski1375 hi Ed, I actually paddled the south branch again yesterday , I hit all the way to St. George’s in Avenue/colonia. I actually had to portage around the hazlewood bridge in Rahway , on the way back in water , my kayak slid down the bank and took off down the river. I had to swim for it!!!
Love the swallows and the turtle! Those snappers are fierce. Merlin is very useful. I've found that taking your own advice can be a struggle. Glad you made it out on the river! Thanks for the little glimpses behind the scenes. That corner of Rahway Park is a much loved fishing/hangout spot. You can get a great view of the water treatment spillway and the park pond from the old cemetery across the river there.
I love this video and you're sooooo right . ~If ya don't get to going , you'll never get to go~ That's a great philosophy.💯🙏❤🇺🇸 Positive Vibes & Good Rides y'all. 🌞
Great videos! FYI, the Walmart cheap floating sunglasses strap and the GoPro floating case will save you from losing them. I found out the hard way on my kayak! 😂
I paddled upstream to the NJT North Jersey Coast Line bridge before I had to turn around. I barely made it under the Hazelwood Ave. bridge because the tide was coming in.
Usually around 5 o’clock at night I start feeling the Sunday night blues things cause I think back on the stuff I could’ve done and I always feel like I didn’t get enough done or I didn’t do enough things and now I gotta go back to work
Hey Chris, years ago , I had the Sunday night blues badly. I worked jobs that I let suck the life out of me . Now it’s more of what you’re saying . Lots of life left to live
Greetings from Yorkshire UK just found your channel, I watch a lot of UA-camrs from your area basically because it's a world apart from my own! Merlin bird App is great. We have Swallows too, they migrate to Africa, I'm guessing yours go to Central America. Amazing birds. Will watch a few more of your videos keep up the good work!
Hi there! my family and i were in Cricklewood and london a few weeks ago. we're going to release the video soon, yes the barn swallows are exactly as you said , from central america. I really appreciate you commenting, it still blows my mind how small the world is getting . Thanks!
@@OutDehExplorer you're welcome! I was actually born in London but live in the North. Cricklewood is a very nice area. Going back next year for an Iron Maiden concert at the former Olympic Stadium in Stretford! Yes the internet has shrunk the world, I didn't even have it till 2007 so.its still quite a novelty for me. Good luck with your adventures over there and stay safe!
I don't know how many times I drove thru that area when I lived in Colonia . Thank you for the adventure . Ed

Thanks for hanging with me, hope you’re doing well in this heat . Not sure what the next adventure will be, something in the shade 🤣

Hi! Hope you are doing great . I still haven’t been over to the cemetery, thanks for the tip!

Thanks Amy, sometimes it’s hard to get it in 1st gear sometimes . When we do, we usually feel better immediately . Appreciate you commenting. 🌞
Hey Mike, Another great vid!
Thanks Jeff, this hobby keeps me sane
Today, the tide, wind and weather are against me paddling, but I totally get to groove on your new adventure! Thanks for sharing. 🤠🛶
Hey Kaptain! is it in the mid 90s up there? This heat is nuts! I went on a bike ride and it was brutal. thanks for the positive vibes ☀
@OutDehFamily The heatwave broke up here, it's actually cool in the 60's, cloudy wind and intermittent rai
@@OutDehExplorer always! Enjoy!
Course, I’m still here with you, proceed with your rambling!
Thank you kindly !
"Put on the boots and just start goin' !" There is your logo for your merch :)))
Hey Don!, you might be on to something "Got my Boots On", thanks for the idea , I keep them in the truck now 🤣
Great videos! FYI, the Walmart cheap floating sunglasses strap and the GoPro floating case will save you from losing them. I found out the hard way on my kayak! 😂
You're totally right, I had some croakies for my glasses, no idea where they went
Thanks for taking me along for the trip brother, hope the family and everyone are all doing well, until the next adventure stay safe out there
Thanks At A!
@@OutDehExplorer you're most welcome brother 😎👋

Ha, i took a swim right at Hazlewood bridge a few weeks ago, Kayak slid down the rock embankment and kept going! swam about 20 feet to catch it

Yes that rahway plaza apartment area is gated and keyed, technically trespassing for apartment residents and guests of..
I guess i need to make some friends in that building soon. in the past a family was having a barbecue and they offered to bring me a plate
Hey buddy what app are you using to track your way while kayaking ?
Hi there ! I use Strava, it actually has a kayak option
Portal to another dimension good thing you didn’t go in there!
Ha, I’m a little claustrophobic
What's Next? Have you done the Raritan River? Or how about a Long Trip to Sandy Hook? Or is that too much in the open ocean?
Hey Ron, I love the Raritan River , looking forward to another run . Here’s a video I did ua-cam.com/video/0rMtRdpdXVc/v-deo.htmlsi=sIIWdWpwh3IzrNXM
That was a big turtle for that area, isn’t it?
Actually , we have lots in the Rahway river and its tributaries . They’re pretty resilient!
