After lunch the rain clewred and we headed to Nuttleburg which an abandoned coal camp in Fayette county Wva. This was interesting for our van because it was near and dear to Josh and Danielle so we discussed the area and how they experieneced or veiwed it growing up around the area. We tested water of runoff stream at Nuttleburg and with a great pH of 6.5 it had an overall quality of 72 which was the best we have tested thus far. The dissolved solids count was high but the water was clear comprable to that of tap water, so we came to a conclusion that it was a result of the rain that had just passed and was from the minerals of the soil. It would be nice to test the water again with out the effect of rain.
Below is a picture of some of the steps left from the coal camp's company store.
