Thanks... Mel Allen & Family, Carpentersville, New Jersey for the enjoyable visit and discussion, on your back porch high over the Delaware River. Also... I enjoyed later seeing your wall murals at the National Hotel in Frenchtown.
On September 21, 2002 I drove 35 miles up the river to Riegelsville, walked across the bridge, and then made the 8-mile walk (round-trip) along narrow River Road to Carpentersville ---it was a great walk. I introduced myself to Mel Allen who took me on a tour of the waterfront. We were able to identify the probable location of Camp Riverside as photographed by Linford R. Craven c.1909-1912, as well as the locations of other Craven photographs along the river.
