I do need to think about a name for the creek, though (suggestions would be welcome). It turns out that gold has been panned out of Laughery Creek down at Hueseman Ford in times past. The gravel bars down there are right where my little spring-fed creek empties into Laughery, so it may be coming from up our way. Whaddya think? Something with gold- in it, maybe? Something Old English? or historically churchy (our private road is called Chantry Lane)? Goldwine Creek? Goldburn? Goldbeck? Chrysophylax Creek? Quelle? Hmm, hmmm -- and, hmmmm.
There will be peace in the valley -- er -- holler.
