In our reading of, Still Life with Brook Trout, John Gierach writes, "They say people travel in order to experience the enormity of the world, but there's also something to be said for being mindful of the enormity of your own home region. In my case, that's a few hundred square miles of the northern Colorado Rockies that I think I know intimately, but still couldn't properly explore in a dozen life-times."
This seemed like the perfect natural flow to our next step, traveling and exploring where our stream goes. As we know, "The map says that the stream flows into the Manasquan River" (Student, 13) So naturally, we got into the van and tried to find where the stream meets the river. Unfortunately, we found that the exact location at which the stream flows into the Manasquan was located in someone's backyard and we did not have access to it. But, luckily, there was a Manasquan Greenway access point close by.
