Decker’s Creek
I took a LOT of pictures this weekend. Here’s our first stop, Decker’s Creek along Route 7.
For years, Decker’s Creek was a lifeless waste, due to acid mine drainage. The creek was orange, and there was little life. It most certainly was not anything you’d want to splash around in.
Today–after years of fighting to force mine owners to take responsibility for the damage they caused, it’s quite beautiful.
