deTours: The making of scythe stones in the river

The making of scythe stones in the river

I will talk about what the farmers did in winter for needed cash. We will walk along the river from the ball field to Plainfield rd. Then return via river or main street. Other than the usual sunscreen/ bug spray people should wear rubber boots or water shoes to look for stones on the edge of the river, it will be a kind of treasure hunt. Participants should have a limit of two stones to bring home. Since these are not relics but debittage from a minor industrial project there should not be a problem with collecting them.
