    What are those guys doing on the Shenandoah River Bridge?


    What started out as curiosity has become a pretty neat account of the goings-on we see occasionally on the Old Rt 9 (now Rt 115) Shenandoah River bridge. We had stopped by a few weeks ago in the midst of a Spring shower to ask about the activities that seemed to be about measurements of our river. We posted a short blurb on the forum

    that provided a brief explanation.

    Mountain Community Center's Rain Garden 2012
    A project by the
    Blue Ridge Watershed Coalition(BRWC)

    This project was made possible with a grant from the
    West Virginia Stream Partners Program

    The demonstration project was part of a larger effort designed to capture the first inch of rainfall and slow and filter as much of the water as possible from the land around the Mountain Community Center (MCC) by:


    • Capturing rain from the rear roof and storing it in a cistern for irrigation and as an additional source of water for fire suppression
    • Capturing water from the front roof in a series of rain barrels for irrigation of a garden and,
    • Designing and constructing a drainage system to divert water from the driveway area and the hillside area into a rain garden. Water will also be "feathered" to spread it out and into an existing forested area.

    The Report



    I arrived at the sheriff's office in Bardane a little before 3PM or 10 hour shift (3pm-1am) and was assigned to ride with Sergeant Sell, probably so they could keep me out of trouble.

    We left the lot a little before 4PM after the Sgt. had checked logs and given me a short course on what to expect as a "ride-along" and I had staged the photo op above.
