        A friend is leading a trip utilizing Morgan's Creek, along the
Navesink in that area on Saturday (depending on tides).  I hiked Sandy Hook
yesterday, saw much of what you referred to.
        I occasionally go down to Great Bay WMA near Tuckerton and Mystic
Island and wander through the marsh channels much as Ralph did in NC.
