Hi Jamie, now you have me looking up some fond memories. Here's a few links you or perhaps others may be interested in for this area.

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation area site. See the part where it says 70,000 acres of land? Well that was to be 1.6 million acres but they stopped collecting it six months after they took my 17.6 acres!

Anyway I thought I post this handful of links. (See what you started Jamie. You made me go look!) That is such a beautiful area and Jamie in your backyard too. Just be careful in the winter hiking up there, it can get very cold, and that river ices right up.
I must be getting older. The Dingman's Ferry I remember was a 25 cent fee to cross. Now it's $1.
Oh I don't know, maybe I am not older, I don't feel older.
Maybe they are just price gouging!
Yea, that's it! Price Gouging!
