Visitor Comments!

For years, the Friends of Treman have placed an informal visitor comment book inside the Mill Museum. During this past season, our current notebook had filled up with notes from people from all over the world since August 2023. I’ll be sharing some of those comments here and on our Facebook page in the weeks that come. 

This edition of the book (see below) was started in August 2023, with an entry from our Vice President, Bob Kellogg, from Newfield, NY, near the park. I’ve copied much of the first page below. Besides entries from central NY, there are comments from people from Brazil, New Jersey, Indiana, Manhattan, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Florida; El Salvador, Sacketts Harbor NY, Seoul Korea, Virginia, Denver CO, Michigan, NYC, Maryland, and Bhutan!
​And that’s just in the first four days.
From time to time, I’ll continue to share interesting comments from the visitor book.

“The Flume”

1/11/2025

0 Comments

 
Yes, it’s winter and the Gorge Trail is closed. But let’s reflect on one of the amazing features of Enfield Glen in this little video clip.
​
Notice the rock slot that the creek shoots through here in the Upper Gorge. 
What might have caused this? 
For a clue, follow the straight edge of the pool that this “Flume” empties into; and notice that a big crack continues in the same line up the cliff ahead. 
The rock of the Upper Gorge is criss-crossed by fractures like this one, called “joints,” and water is forced to pass where these big cracks direct it. 
Over time, flowing water loosened and cleared out rock between two narrowly parallel joints to create the Flume slot below.
In fact, the entire Upper Gorge is ruled by joints.
