In Response To: Other: Weather/ Water in Texas (Marc Upchurch)

The "old timers" tell me about running the Cheat River in WV when it ran orange because of illegal dumping from a mining company. There was a drop on the Connequenessing Creek in PA that they call "calgon ledge," because back in the day the surfactants discharged from industry upstream made it foam up with soap bubbles, just like washing dishes in the sink.

Just goes to show that WW boaters will run anything. I'd guess that's especially true in Texas...

(They both run pretty clean nowadays, I've paddled them both.)
