George’s New Jersey River Badge Drop

Tea-dark Pinelands water — the Mullica, the Batsto, the Oswego and the Wading, with seven canoe campsites in Wharton State Forest — and up north the Middle Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River. The Park Service says it in capitals: Always Wear Your Life Jacket. Check the river conditions at Montague before you launch, and treat the Pines like the delicate ecosystem the Commission says it is. Eight pieces in the New Jersey drop: unisex tee, women’s relaxed tee, youth tee, muscle tank, garment-dye crop tee, full-color two-tone cap, golf rope cap, and five-panel rope cap. Paddle On. Only You Can Keep The Rivers Clean. — George
