The water looked great, nice and smooth with less obstacles. I haven't been in Snow Hill since the early 90s. Love those small towns.

Eastern NC eastern small towns are suffering but - hamburger was great.

Looks like you had a nice paddle, good weather and quite a few interesting features along the way. I loved the Old Creek landing, someone made a nice getaway place.

[@EdwardsOutdoorAdventures]

Yelp - Old Creek Landing - definitely a nice setup. Also of interest to you - had comment concerning geology - min 3:25. Comment from wfoybealiii4668.

I really enjoyed your trip on Contentnea Creek. I spent my childhood with my Grandfather hunting , camping and fishing on the Contentnea. My Grandfather taught me brother and I a lot of survival lessons on that creek. My family has a lot of history on the Contentnea creek ( in the Hookerton area ) . I wish that I could go back and relive all of the memories that I have of the CREEK.

@@MichaelOrmond-n1j Michael, You win with the most touching comment I’ve ever received. Paddling, I also will remember times with my father who loved being on the water. Glad to “Share the quiet CREEK …”

Beautiful time on a lovely river. Geese are good company and a nice visit to small town,

[@EdwardsOutdoorAdventures]

@@RobertaEdwards1 I’d saw geese are stupid. They will not just let me paddle by. Ducks will tuck in and let you go by.

[@huntleyedwards1142]

Super neat to see the beaver slide! That water looked GROSS though.

[@EdwardsOutdoorAdventures]

@@huntleyedwards1142 I thought about sticking my arm inside to take a photo - but changed my mind. Water - 100% (well 95%) fine after filtering.

Looks like an outcrop of Coastal Plain sedimentary rock on river right at 3:25. Coastal Plain geologists have used the river networks to locate outcrops of Cretaceous sediments (deposited 66 million to 145 million years ago) for over 100 years. A traverse down Contentnea Creek from Snow Hill to Hookerton by geologist-paleontologist Lloyd William Stephenson in 1907 was part of the groundwork for developing an understanding of the stratigraphy of the Coastal Plain sedimentary rocks deposited below the current Fall Line from Virginia through the Carolinas and Georgia.

@@wfoybealiii4668 Thanks for geological lesson. I searched for historical details about the geology, Indians, and early settlers without finding anything I wanted to use in the Contentnea Creek series. I wish I’d had this tidbit. Maybe others will read. None of my viewers (friend) is a geologist. I first thought comment was from him.

[@k2jschultz]

Looked like day 4 was a really nice one. A lot less work for you! Cool view of the beaver den and slide. Hope days 5 and 6 went as well for you.

[@EdwardsOutdoorAdventures]

@@k2jschultz Day 4 was definitely a bit easier. Gin gives me a hard time for stopping in towns for hamburgers. Saw photo from your current outing. Glad to see you enjoying life.

[@k2jschultz]

@@EdwardsOutdoorAdventures picked up a Fort Macon patch for my backpack ( even though we aren’t camping).

[@EdwardsOutdoorAdventures]

And I was given a new patch today. My aunt, actually lives very near to you, sent me a Webb’s Mill Patch. Her husband was the last Edwards that ran the mill. He had had some patches made for hats and shirts. Last patch she had.

Don't know how close you are to grifton but after you pass edwards bridge there's a cabin on the left side a Little ways done you could stay at I live in grifton water is a Little high right now so not sure what it looks like up near there stay safe out there

[@EdwardsOutdoorAdventures]

@@davidscott5956 David, The offer of a Cabin is quite generous. I live, I’ll just saw, near Raleigh. I would like to paddle the Grifton section again so yes I might reach-out in the future to take you up on this offer.

[@ForidaKhatunSetu]
