Black Creek April 18, 2009


Trip leader, Luann Mongelli
Photographs by Luann and by Sally and John Atkins
Pleasant weather conditions with temps in the 60’s along with cloudy skies and some sunshine provided the backdrop for an 8 mile 5 hr paddle up Black Creek into the grey leafless forest of the Bergen Swamp. We had 20 paddlers and a flotilla of 16 boats. Turtles were sunning on nearly every log. Although Black Creek was clear of debris, the main channel of the swamp contained many areas clogged with downed trees and debris. Serge gave all the boaters a reprieve from yet another ‘carry-around’ when he sawed and sawed and sawed some more through a large down tree trunk while Charlie helped push the trunk and accompanied pile of debris down stream. Boat bottoms, gear, clothing, and boots became coated in mud and muck as we pulled and carried our boats around strainers full of these large logs and the accompanied debris. As we headed out of the swamp and back toward Black Creek, the stillness of the swamp was interrupted with the echoing of a bird ‘song fest.’ Looking up we saw that the trees tops were filled with a profusion of small birds. With the boats and gear loaded, the last task on our paddling agenda was, of course, to locate the nearest ice cream parlor in Churchville.
