Red Clay Chronicles

Explanation
Red Clay Creek meanders from Kennett Square, Pennsylvania through the Delaware countryside to the Christiana River. In early times, it was harnessed to run small mills along its way, and the Wilmington & Western Railroad followed much of its path. It is marked with small waterfalls, dams, and the remains of dams.
This series follows it for a short distance from the old Greenbank Mill to the ruins of the dam for the old Snuff Mill.

Statement
    The unknown can be both terrorizing and enticing. What lies around the next bend? Are we traveling into Light or Shadow? Our expectations may hurry our steps or slow them to a crawl.
    The Red Clay Chronicles follow the bed of a stream, and the railroad alongside it as it twists through the countryside of Northern Delaware.
    Such a trek parallels issues of the present and future. No matter firmly we feel grounded in our present, the world around the next bend is unknown. We all hope to be walking into the Light.
