Jersey parishioners enjoy Delaware rafting

HILLSIDE, N.J. - The Young Adults Group of St. John's (Newark, N.J.) and Immaculate Conception (Hillside, N.J.) Ukrainian Catholic parishes and their guests rafted a segment of the upper Delaware River on August 1. The group of 18 included the Rev. Leonid Malkov CSsR and Alex Plokhotiuk, a guest for the summer from St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Seminary in Washington. Everyone had a fun-filled day. Along the rafting route, the group stopped numerous times to swim and share conversations with other groups passing by. The Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River comprises over 70 miles of the river stretching from Hancock, N.Y., to Matamoras, Pa. The river offers a variety of challenges ranging from long clam eddies to Class II rapids. The American Indians and early settlers used the upper Delaware River as an important transportation route. Above, the Young Adults Group stops riverside to relax prior to navigating the final rapids of the trip.
