    To those being sarcastic about no litter on the stream banks, one of the boys is sitting on an old tire. I doubt he dragged it there just for a seat. I'd also be willing to bet that if you were to find a house along this stream, there would be plenty of litter. In rural West Virginia where I grew up, people dumped their household trash behind the house, usually in a stream. I'd go wading in the stream that ran beside my grandma's house looking for old bottles, blue mason jars, stoneware jugs, and other "treasures" that people had tossed out in decades past.
