Thanks for the great video. I read somewhere that the Susquehanna is a mile wide at Harrisburg, but it doesn't look like it in this video. Does anyone know about that?
@JoeHainey

It is over a mile wide down below Wrightsville. The Lake Clark area due to the safe harbor dam.

@JoeHainey
@JoeHainey 8 ай бұрын
A guardrail would get in the way of snow removal. Also it would have little value in the higher elevations. Some of the snow drifts can be over 20 feet. They don't remove the snow down to the gravel surface. They just cut a pass.

I did some camping in the pokamoke state park in the early 1990's. With my brother, wife,n two kids. The camping was great n the fishing on the pokomoke river was a real great time. We had my white water canoe n my brothers speed boat a 4man bay liner ... My nephew n I took out the canoe we had so much fun fishing we barely made it back by dark. We saw a bald eagle n deer. N caught n released alot of fish.

Wow, I find ice formations fascinating, large like this or up close, just surreal and temporary like a dream. I've driven and ridden motorcycle up 11&15 and 147 countless times along this stretch, then on to Tioga Co. or points beyond. Being a map guy who likes to know where in the world I am and a driving/riding(what's the word for apex fiend) enthusiast, your perspective as a pilot here is, yeah remember your first meal. Steady Joe, sorry for the distraction but I owe you one. Look at those patterns and curves of flowing symmetry. If this was a pill that made you laugh,...Buddeeee,...cha ching. 442 views in 11 mos? The tunes are good too. Soothing, unlike what I imagine you were feeling behind that engine and prop. I would love to see Sharp Mt. westward from Rt 81 down Stony Valley to Dauphin with the leaves off. I still love hiking that ridge with it's fin of conglomerate rock sticking out, primordial. Thanks again Joe, you made my day. Time to get out there. Don't be surprised if I look you up to buy you a beer or whatever you like. This is inspiring. Yeah, you know a stall when you see one. Bye.

Such a neat area to wander and explore. I'm amazed that the top 4' of the dam is plywood against steel poles. I noticed it about 35 yrs ago when a buddy and I were fishing, in what would have been it's shadow if there wasn't a raging storm to the north and west. Water was splashing over the top there above us when we realized what was holding it back. It was one of those laughable moments when we looked at each other with eyebrows in the wind yet squintin' and grinnin'. Warms my blood just thinking about it. The Mason Dixon Trail is fun all along there. A loop I like for a little blood pumper is from the dam up across the power line and up across the top to the outcrop, down the switchbacks, along Mill Creek and back up the road. I find the islands a treat, rugged, windswept, glorious really. Reminds me of Canada in a sense, and it always feels like you could come face to face with an Indian out there. I would love to discuss buying some fuel if you have any free time. I've not been up in a little plane since I was a kid in the '60s. Happily retired where killing time is self defense, and I might write a book. Think I should? Thanks Joe.

Wow, you guys got some stunning weather for the ride to the summit of Mt Washington. Winter is one of the best times to see the farthest from the summit as there is low humidity in the air, in the summer the humidity haze limits viewing distances. Were hikers allowed to go in the observatory/ visitor ctr to warm up, use the restroom, etc?

I showed up at the guard shack of the Safe Harbor Dam one dark evening WITHOUT notice, while canoeing from Lenox, Pa. to the Chesapeake over New Year's of '85, and got treated like a king. They showed me a pavillion to spend the night in (while adding that if I needed to get down tonight, they could portage me tonight). I let them portage me in the morning, and they let the Holtwood Dam guys know that I'd be coming there next. I didn't even know that they provided you with a portage, until a guy in a bar told me shortly before i walked up to the Safe Harbor guard shack. I had first walked a mile downstream to the bar to eat dinner while hand-wringing about how I'd probably have to walk up to the guard shack to ask permission to portage through a gate that had a no trespassing sign. But nope; a guy in the bar told me, "Just call them and bitch; federal law requires them to give you a portage, because they can't block navigation." So, I finally walked up to the guard shack. It being late at night, the guy was so scared as I approached that he looked like he was about to jump for cover, so that's when I said, "Somebody told me you provide canoe portages". And that's when it got real friendly; we sat in the guard shack having nice conversations for an hour or three, including with the third-shift guy when he came along.

Like a beautiful woman, I never ever get tired of looking at this River and the nature surrounding it.

I used to live in Pocomoke City, and have explored much over the River over the years. I believe that the small creek you explored was Dividing Creek. Depending on the state of the tide you can take a canoe WAY back into the swamps on it. Fuel is available at Shad’s Landing state park, a few miles south of Snow Hill. There is a boat landing above the drawbridge in Pocomoke City at Winter Quarters, by the golf course. It saves the bother of going under the draw bridge when your are heading up river.
