Is the Delaware Water Gap, Open or Protected ?

Jeff,
This could very well fall within the Delaware WaterGap National Park. If so, I guess it may remain lost forever.

With the amount of Flooding the Delaware has seen
over its History,
I would think Most treasures along it Were Washed South of
the Water gap & out of the National park Years ago.

If there are 90 Degree Turns. Y's in the River, Islands,
etc, where things can get hung up, south of the National Park
they should be Trashy but also hold some intresting items.

The Park can stop you frome removing things.
But it can't stop the water from doing so

The same should be Rememberd by Everyone who
is intrested in searching around National Parks.

Search to the South, along the Creek & River Banks.

That place looks more spectacular in its day than the Shikellamy Hotel in it's day. Ofcourse that hotel burned also.

[mike in pa]

what burned was only the staff housing unit,its very small compared to the size of the main lodge

Jeff,
Greetings from NJ!
I have been looking into this story of the gold payroll in the gap and think I have found the spot where the canoe was beached. Do you have any more info on this story? Or a direction to point me in about this?
Seems to me theres a few scenarios that could be in order.
1.The only guy responsible for the gold died, so why not keep it and say it was lost?
or
2.It was found later and whoever found it kept thier mouth shut.
or
3.It was disloged by flooding and is in the bottom of the river downstream, if the box is intact
or
4. It was dislodged, broke open and coins scattered downstream.
or
5. Its still sitting there, hidden
or
6. Its under route 80

What do you think?
Daniel
