River of God School of Paddling

Last night we were out for the second time with our River of God School of Paddling. It was a beautiful night on the Passaic River. Due to all of the rain the river was up but our boys did a terrific job even paddling back upstream.

 We paddled downstream from the Elmwood Park launch to the Dundee Dam. On the way we met Rick Rodriguez and a friend who were out paddling. We met Rick last year on the river and have gotten to know each other well this past year.

 We paddled under the Route 80, Route 46 and Garden State Parkway Bridges. We saw two snowy egrets as well as some type of a hawk. There were also lots of ducks and geese around and an occasional turtle sunning itself on a log.

 A beautiful night on the river.
