Vine Creek after heavy spring rain

Steve and Max found erosion and water flows we'd never seen before. Fall and winter cleanups by volunteers and the Township have removed great quantities of unwelcome growth, but we fear this has resulted in more erosion.

We came back a week later to look for the stones that Sarah Francis reported seeing along the west side of Vine Creek, below the Cynwyd Trail. We didn't find Sarah's stones, but got some good views of the stones that were part of Clegg's Mill over a century ago.
