A special place for me is a small unknown place called Rock Run
Creek. It is located in Warwick Twp., Chester County. It feeds
into French Creek and then then eventually into the Schuylkill,
and Delaware. The spring that starts the creek was near my home
and we used to follow it all the way to French Creek, sometimes
on a daily basis. It is a deep draw that contains huge rounded
grey boulders, some times to the point where you cannot see the
water. This area is owned privately by many different people,
but is under some pressure of development. Someday I will go
back there to see what trees there are. The rocks are the most
impressive, and are the same type of rock as those at St Peters
village on the French Creek. A sign at the village says that
there are two places on earth where this type of rock is exposed
and they are about 6 million years old. It is protected by the
scenic rivers act, and I hope it survives intact.
