River of God Kayak Kamp 2015: Day 2


Today our Bible Lesson was what happened after God created a perfect world. Sin entered the world through the disobedience of our first parents Adam & Eve. Not content with all the gifts and blessing God had given them they wanted more and followed the temptation of Satan to rebel against God. They sinned and then hid and blamed each other and the devil. We have been hiding and blaming every since. We did a litter application to clean up the ways people sin agains our city by putting trash on our streets that ends up in storm drains flowing into our river. We cleaned the trash from the storm drains at Madison & 11th Ave, Madison & 10th, 10th & 22nd, 10th & E. 19th, E. 18th. Lets keep our city clean. 
We then went to the Great Falls to meet with the Park Rangers to hear more about the Great Fall and the History of Paterson
High School Students who work for the National Park through the Great Falls Youth Corps

The Great Falls of the Passsaic

Stop by the National Park and enjoy Gods gift to our great city.
 Since the Passaic River was so low this week we decided to go back to the other side of the Monksville Reservoir. We were at a different launch and paddled in a different part than yesterday
Ready to launch


Destiny paddled the canoe today with me

This dock is always a favorite to jump in the water from


Paddling through the flooded forest. Over 30 years ago it was flooded when the Wanaque River was damed to create the Reservior.

Lunch time at the Long Pond Iron Works
