Etown fishing

[riverwhy]

Sorry - I meant Alexander Spring Run west of Carlisle - not the Armstrong near Halifax 😬All the chemicals have leached into the aquifer and now are over fertilizing the streams - Big Spring is a good example elodea and watercress are to be expected - but the algae and algae blooms are horrendous in the ditch section - it absolutely didn’t happen like that 40 years ago - even with the sewage effluent from

Yes HTR is doomed - flow is WAY down and Hempts land provided hundreds of acres of aquifer collection - now the warehouses, Fry Comm, Costco, and the subsequent development will starve the flow of rainwater while adding more wells to an already stressed aquifer - can’t fight city hall on this one - urban sprawl has claimed vast amounts of agricultural acreage over the last 50 years - something that has happened in similar Limestone/karst regions in Lancaster, Centre, Lebanon, Huntington, Blair, and now Bedford counties - at least I have some good memories of fishing these once wild creeks

Good memories are fine. This just makes me angry.

Trindle’s death blow is coming as well. The land it flows through south of the Pike is for sale. Once that goes, development will have taken over its entire length except its headwater (home to a co-op hatchery) and its mouth.
