Notes

Overcast, cool and windy day with less than 2 Mm rainfall in past 24 hrs. This seasonal stream is running strongly this spring as it comes from a long distance across many farm fields , passes under the road and over a falls entering into the east end of the Milford Millpond, then over the dam into Black River then out into Lake Ontario eventually.
