Its All Interconnected, Coal Country (#03 in Series)
Like every watershed, "it's all interconnected". In this episode we journey to the site of the 1972 Buffalo Creek Disaster and meet with survivors and other community members who have worked hard to restore Buffalo Creek to a beautiful mountain stream. We also deep dive into 4 major events, that took place in a five-year period from 1968 - 1972. These events completed changed the coal mining industry and set the stage for the entrance and introduction of three “local boys” who would become industrial giants and household names in “Coal Country”.

Really a fabulous report, Jeff. Keep up the great work you are doing.
Thanks Tim. Coming from you, it means a lot. By the way, that was a great photo of you I found and used. I hope you don’t mind being referenced. That group of activists is noteworthy. Sadly, Judy and Larry have past.
Jeff- this was a fantastic piece and a valuable oral history. Well done!
Thank you Bridget for your kind words
I’m glad to have found your channel. There is so much great information that you researched and gave us! Thanks!
As always, I appreciate you kind words and comments. #03 of the Coal Country series will drop mid May. Again thank you,
I never heard of that sycamore story. I'll have to check out the tree the next time Im down there.
Ive been in one of these , with footballs, plastic bottles,gas bottle and bits of trees, From what appeared like a small easy to run waterfall at the beginning of a day out, it certainly was not. the second the front of my kayak touched down into the lower water it pulled straight back into the fall, rolling me out of the boat , the paddle was torn out of my hand with the greatest force of current i have ever felt, and i was sucked toward the fall , my boat and paddle joining the footballs ,rolling in the recircluating current, I kicked off the wall of the fall as it drawn me toward it , going under water ,kicking off the bottom as bubbling water erupted around me like volcanos (boils) luckily for me and probably what saved me was my friend following on a sit on top surf kayak, i grabbed onto the SURF kayak after he shot the fall ,and he was screaming in panic as it drew us toward the fall, i reassured him he was ok as i was the one in the water! 😮 with him paddling full power and me kicking behind we made it 4-5 metres out from the fall , the concrete floor grazing the boat at about 30cm depth! As we stood in almost ankle depth water looking back into it , the boat and paddle just endlessly rolling ,the bottles, trees, gas bottle, footballs the 4m high vertical concrete walls made it a hell hole 🕳 , we fished the boat n paddle out with a rope and hook and carried on the day boating all though pretty shook up, not until i got back and did research i realised we'd been in a low head dam , basically water purification , aeration waterfall , the signs are just not there to warn people. I make sure to explain this to everyone i take near water. Just be safe people , Its not the size of the fall but whats happening beneath it ❤
Thank you for this epic story. It drives home the dangers associated with these dams. They have historical significance, create a water source and often a beautiful landscape. On the other hand, they block the migration of aquatic animals, add heat to the water, via standing pools, and create the hazards (often unknown) you experience. Thank God for partners. I too have a few I need to buy drinks for. These epics bonds you for life. See you on the river.
Great stuff. It was fun seeing Ruddles Mills and your starting point. I've been studying distilleries in the area too. Hope they do make Old Lewis Hunter into something.
I hope so too! Every episode has research notes at FishingLocalWaters.com. The notes for this episode is at www.fishinglocalwaters.com/episode-004-notes As stated, they are presented as collected. However, you may find additional information and sources to help in your research. Thanks for watching and your interest.
Very cool
Even though I’ll most likely never visit Big Bone Lick creek I found this video most interesting and relaxing. For some reason I throughly enjoyed learning about its exciting history. Thank you.
Thank you for your interest and kind words. Jeff
Excellent. Keep up the good work.
Carl, I'm sorry about the delay in my reply. Thank you for your encouragement. Jeff
I've researched most of the old distilleries you mention. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Ben, Thank you. It always seems that much of my research never makes it into the episode. If you have questions on sources or need addition info, feel free to contact me via emails listed at fishinglocalwaters.com
