The downside to vacations:-( I’ve made good headway with the washing though.
I see in your posts that you’ve gotten no support for you neighbors from Haydes .. I will be adding a couple extra prayers your way.. also, I will look for some good booby trap ideas to deter them... since the police are so uninterested [emoji848]
Thanks Heather, I shall be leaving my wildlife camera out near the boundary - at ground level but not actually pointing in their garden of course - to see if I can catch him with his pruners.
The PO did say that would be acceptable, not that I trust her knowledge of the law.

I was out kayaking on the Susquehana River on the Pennsylvania/Maryland line yesterday - small creek into the large river/reservoir that provides a ton of water for this area, including water for the Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant.

No rain all day, it poured on my drive home, but just a short rain at the house. But the good news is that “it worked” and collected about 40 gallons. No leaks.

Peach Bottom? The Minions would’ve found it hilarious!

G’day.....very quick trip update from yesterday’s kayaking trip.

Our trip had has putting in on smaller Broad Creek located about 1.5 hours north of here along the Pennsylvania-Maryland border. We explored the navigable ends of Broad Creek that is dotted with both Md and Pa resident’s weekend cottages/dachas, then veered out into the mighty Susquehana River where it is known locally as the “dam” since it is located between two dams that form a very large watershed for the greater Md/Pa area. It also provides cooling for the Peach Bottom Nuclear Plant.
  • Facts: The Susquehanna River is a major river located in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. At 464 miles long, it is the longest river on the East Coast of the United States that drains into the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Did you know: Susquehanna is the third-oldest river on Earth by age (260 to 325 million years).
  • Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, a nuclear power plant, is located 50 miles (80 km) southeast of Harrisburg in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna River three miles north of the Maryland border.
Our Route - red is the Broad Creek portion

Very nice! :)
Is there much of a current?
(as in the water flow, not electricity)
