Newark watershed closings

[briansnat]

I went to Clinton yesterday and AOK.

Well watch out with the ramp. With the water low the ramp drops off rather suddenly at the waterline. I usually back up the car until I see the water just about reaching midway on the rear door, then the boat should be OK to launch, give or take minor adjustments.

I was backing up the boat into the water and something told me to stop well before I usually do. I got out and looked and had I backed up to where I usually do, the rear of my car would have been in 3 feet of water. The boat was alreeady floating free and I didn't even have my rear tires in the water.

It was definitely easier to launch. But if i had backed up to the usual place I would have had serious issues.
