"Clean" is a relative term especially when discussing NE Ohio in the early
70s. At least Sand Run didn't burn and even though I spent many days
immersed in its waters, I experienced no noticeable effects - although my
kids each have a third arm growing out of the top of their heads :)!
I would love to attend on the 11th and actually considered it until I
realized that the 12th is the date for our "Buffalo Boogie", a fun run/walk
that is our biggest fund raiser of the year. Darn!! Sleeping in the truck
sounded like so much fun!!
