heh heh, me too 😉

@@kevinalb1085 hi there . I’m not aware of any railtrail plans. I have walked over there. It’s the apartments being built. They had the businesses remove their cars off the tracks. The whole area there under Gordon st bridge would be prime for a rail trail. Conrail owns it and says in “inactive”not abandoned. It’s disappointing that not much has been done on the RVR or CNJ😢

Hi Tom, hope you got a kick out of seeing some of your old stomping ground . thanks for the kind words

Thanks, it was a blast!

I agree, there are signs posted everywhere about not eating fish and crabs. I ask people on the waterfront in elizabeth if they eat what they catch, some say they do !

Never thought of it that way, i like how you think!

Hi Harry, I hope you enjoyed it, thank you for checking out the video

I was in awe being there

One day I will kayak from the mouth of the Rahway around south mountain all the way to the arthur kill in one trip. thanks for the tips!

Oh a hiking club!, You took it to a new level ❤ Meeting other like minded people must be a plus. Thank you for the kind comment

its great to hear someone talk about exploring the island. I didnt find the hooch, i'll look harder next time :) Thanks for sharing your story

yes, it is a wild place. I did want to see some wildlife. i got to hang around longer (camp out ) 🤣

Hello friend, you;re a muician, thats awesome.you may be inspiring me to pick up the guitar again (im a hack) an you;re right about the sparseness In 2007, Prall's Island became a focal point in the fight against the Asian longhorned beetle, with 3,000 trees removed and extensive restoration efforts undertaken to halt the beetle's spread. thakns for the comments from across the atlantic :)

You're welcome! Thanks for the info there, looks like they did a good job combatting that dastardly Beetle!

oh yes, i've been past that island a few times. I would have to get creative, during lower tide the mud is insane there. thanks for the idea :)

Thanks, lots of people love the Rahway River !

Thanks me too!

Hi there, thanks for the heads up on the name. Prawls Island it is!. Thanks for the great comment .This is crazy, i just read this : Deer can swim, run up to 35 miles per hour, and jump over an 8-foot-high fence. www.nyc.gov/nyc-resources/living-with-white-tailed-deer-in-new-york-city.page#:~:text=Deer%20migrated%20to%20Staten%20Island,December)%20because%20of%20mating%20season.

great suggestion, I have been across the arthur kill to the mouth of that creek, there are several species of birs right there. it looks beautiful going into the Goethals pond complexx, thanks for the suggestion

Great name! I love the foxes running around, especially around dusk. thank you for the encouragement and the subscribe!

@OutDehExplorer my screen name is a reflection of what I do for a living, I haul gasoline, you have to be insane to do this job in the tri state area🤦. About the foxes, there was a couple of roadkill deer on Wood ave and I noticed that there was a little less of them with each passing day 😬. I even saw a very healthy looking fox walking away from one of the deer as I was driving by. Your content is very wholesome and I really appreciate how you respect nature, I'll be watching your other videos as soon as I can, cheers.

Could be! I was thinking of hiding a trailcam over there and come back for it a few weeks later.

I think you're right, and IDA and Ian. Wondered what it would be like to be on that island during one of those!

Lots to love about them! taking a deep breath in the forest is magical. thanks for the comment :)

I hope you get to explore the island, the whole arthur kill is an adventure

@@OutDehExplorer hard to get there. i mean - no easy access to the shore.

Hi Amy, love that , I can use all the motivational thoughts as i can get. Arrowhead lake!! My family has been going to the Poconos since the late 50s , have some great memories . Thank you for the wonderful comment as always

I guess i need to make some friends in that building soon. in the past a family was having a barbecue and they offered to bring me a plate

Hi Mark, glad you like the song. I just saw them at webster hall in NYC , and again in CT . Matthew Caws and the band are great guys,.

@@shoretrader1 hey Don! Hope you enjoyed seeing pralls island . Thanks for the kind words

@@PSthefirst1 thank you for the kind words. I figure I’ll get to all these places at some point. Thanks for the ideas

It’s true! 😊 A lot of deer swam over from NJ to NYC. We used to have many deer in the city streets.

@@theshedMTB thanks ! I won’t stop until I figure out the meaning of life. Going to be a lot of videos 🤣

@@PSthefirst1 isn’t that a wild thought? Deers migrating through the Arthur kill!

@@OutDehExplorer did something happen to make you start this search?

@@fishntools that’s wild , I love the history , do you think the deer swam there?

Go to Hoffman Island (once a quarantine station).

Ship Graveyard on Staten Island and North Brother Island. You might like to check those places out. Enjoyed your video. Kayaking looks like a lot of fun.

Also forgot to mention Swinburne Island. It was a quarantine station off of Staten Island. I don’t really know if anything exists from the quarantine days on that island. It might be a cool place to visit.

@@fishntoolsit looks like an elongated hexagon , thanks for the idea 💡

@@PSthefirst1 thanks , I can’t believe how many of these little islands exist !

Hi Matt! I really appreciate you watching . I am having a blast with your videos, you are on a roll, great stuff. I look forward to the days of a TwoFeet Outdeh adventure . thanks Matt

@@samanthab1923 oh wow, I wonder if that is related to the same Dutch Prall. Thanks for coming by

@ I think it is. My son worked giving tours at the manor house & there are tons of family going way back. Speaking of the Dutch & since you were near SI. Do you know why they call the span from NJ to SI the Outerbridge Crossing?

@ ha, I don’t . Why is that?

@ They named it after Peter Outerbridge early Dutch settler. You can’t call it the Outerbridge Bridge 😆👋

@ I can’t believe I didnt know that after all the money I spent crossing over it all the years. Great history, thank you

Hey Cheo! you know it, Always Love. this song has gotten me through some tough times. I saw Nada Surf on tour a few weeks ago. Matthew Caws and the band are awesome Live, the new record is great! Thanks for noticing :)

@@OutDehExplorer Thanks for the recommendation. Keep posting your adventures. You inspire me to work on my own projects.

yes, i just saw Matt from 2 feet outdoors go there in his last video, super cool!

Hi, its a gopro Hero 10, im using a Rhode Wireless pro 2. The angle from the back is off a yak attack pole. It would be cooler from a an insta360. one of these days

Hey Scott, go for it! Next time im definitely going to spend more time on the island and exploring the creek going into Staten island.

Hey John, that sounds awesome! good times on the Kill!

@@evovulpes122 I tried to get to the inside of the bends , but it was too much for me. It was scary crossing

I never got to see the train live, that must have been cool

hi, yes. i wanted to keep going out to the raritan bay, but got tired. its beautiful down there. thank for checking it out

@@oddzee9685 I think you’re right

@@EffdaBlx you really think so? I spoke to them for about 20 minutes off camera . They were cool guys

*OOps i thought this comment was for another video. no this area is not tidal of course. my goal was to get to the great falls , and ride the current back. Didnt happen! yes, the river is polluted, "The $1.38 billion Passaic River cleanup aims to remove toxic dioxins and contaminants through dredging and capping, with completion expected in 5-10 years under EPA oversight."
