After abandoning my paddle up the Pequannock, I came down to the Passaic to add another section to my exploration. It tuned into a beautiful day- so warm I managed with only two layers on the bottom and three on top ( approx 5-6 degrees C). The sun was shining and the wind was calm. A perfect day for it. 
There was little wildlife- Saw a bunch of 8 deer and one large raptor- a large hawk  / eagle .
