Re: Rahway river 6/29/19:
Everything flows downstream. In this case, the tidal part of the Rahway is about as downstream as you can get. There is current in that section but for that much junk to be washed there from too far from where it was dumped seems unlikely. There would have had to be a biblical flood to move that much stuff from too far upstream.
Still, it was there and now it's gone and that is fantastic. We are all better off because of your efforts and those of your volunteers. That river is where many of us old timers were introduced to fishing. I've seen it undergo many alterations to curtail the inevitable flooding but places like Cranford still backup and spill into the neighborhoods. The biggest eyesores in the upper river are all of the floatables that wash into it. I pick up what I can, when I can, where I can, but it's a big river.
Keep up the great work, Andy.
