The Scratchy Rockaway

I met up with the club and headed out for the annual Memorial Day, Rockaway River paddle.  We started just below the falls in Rockaway, near the Firehouse, and paddled all the way to the falls in Boonton.  We met up at 9 and started the shuttle.  We were on the river close to 10:15 or so and right from the put-in it was a challenge to get on water.  The levels were so low from lack of rain.  We scraped our way down the river until we took out for lunch in Denville.  After lunch we continued on where the water got slower and fuller.  It must be from the falls backing the water up.  The weather was fantastic and we really enjoyed the trip.
