#splitrockreservoir

Forge No. 2, (most likely a lime kiln), at Splitrock Furnace in Rockaway, #NewJersey. The original forge was built by Ebenezer Ferrand in the 1790s. Forge No. 1 (still standing) was built in 1862 and was the last charcoal-fired blast furnace built in New Jersey. It produced objects related to the Civil War. Various stone walls and other foundations exist at the site from a crushing mill and other outbuildings. The site operated until the 1870s. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #rockaway #rockawaynj #architecture #archi_ologie #thisisnj #jerseycollective #njspots #explorenj #igersnj #ushistory #americanhistory #ipulledoverforthis #travelblog #travelblogger #blog #blogger #journeythroughjersey #splitrockreservoir #furnace #CivilWar #industrialhistory #industry (at Splitrock Reservoir)

Little paddle at Splitrock Reservoir this morning. #splitrock #splitrockreservoir #rockawaynj #wildnj (at Splitrock Reservoir)

Post #SUP fueling after paddling for almost 3 hours with some serious wind on the way back, because, let's face it, #splitrockreservoir always has some mad wind on the paddle home but it finally has water! Xander did most of it all by himself with minimal towing (well, until the wind).
