- At Connersville Water Treatment Plant:
- The group is given instructions not to play with knobs, levers, and off switches while inside the plant. President Branam is not happy with this development.
- The group still outside.
- The IWRA membership is disappointed to find that the large objects are pressure filters for water treatment, and not kegs.
- Did we lose someone already?
- A sample of backwash from the pressure filters. Yum yum.
- At the Feeder Dam for the Whitewater Canal (Laurel):
- The Whitewater River approaches the dam
- The dam itself. Glendon Williams approves.
- The dam from farther down.
- The houskeeping staff has not been in today.
- IWRA members at the dam overlook. Kevin Strunk demonstrates his balance on the edge.
- Outflow to the Whitewater Canal.
- On the other side of the bridge, the outflow forms the beginning of the Canal!
- At Metamora:
- Approaching the old grist mill.
- The water wheel for the mill in a lock dam on the Whitewater Canal.
- Pulleys, belts, gizmos, and widgets powered by the water wheel.
- The gridstone and sifter upstairs.
- The Metamora shopping district. Watch out Michigan Avenue, here comes competition!
- At Brookville Dam:
- Brookville Dam.
- A view of Brookville from the dam.
- IWRA members at the COE overlook.
- Looking out at the reservoir. Don Arvin approves.
- A nefarious agent captures the IWRA on camera. It’s probably the AWRA checking up on us.
- It is a very nice day. Rosie Hansell approves.
- A fossil hunt near the dam. That could mean that fossils are being hunted, or that the fossils are doing the hunting. Reader’s discretion.
- At Hayes Arboretum, Richmond:
- The museum at Hayes Arboretum is an old gas station.
- The herb garden and butterfly house.
- A large hollow sycamore. Perhaps new IWRA headquarters?
- At Thistlethwaite Falls:
- A side view of the falls.
- A front view of the falls. Jeff Martin approves.
- At Happy Hollow:
- I call it a wall of rock. The geologists in IWRA surely have other terminology.
- At Weir Dam:
- A side view.
- A view from this bridge .
- At G Street Bridge:
- A bridge. It’s on G Street.
- A representative of the Indiana American Water Company
explains that it’s really fun to wait for cyclists riding this greenway trail that follows the river and knock them over.
