No. Not mine.
Nor the horses’.
As you may remember, I wrote about another trail in York County that crossed paths with a poop plant. Well, I learned during my recent Bucket List Trip that the York Heritage Rail Trail has no less than 4 poop processing plants (P3) along it’s 21 miles of track. Plus a fifth north of town.
The Rail Trail generally follows the path of Codorus Creek and one of its main tributaries. There was a time that it had earned the nickname Inky Stinky. And while there are so many P3s along the Codorus, it really doesn’t stink any more.
But it also makes me hesitant to dip a cup in when I run out of water. I’m not sure I’d even try a filtering straw unless my life depended upon it.
For the most part, the P3s are easily missed. The one north of the city is the only one I’ve ever actually smelled. And people fish on the banks by the plant! Hopefully, catch and release, because I’m not sure I’d want to eat a fish I caught right outside of a poop plant. I’m sure the water is relatively safe, but……..
Anyway, I’ll just have to keep calling it the Codorus Creek, because it’s not inky. Nor stinky. Plus, I already bestowed the nickname Scheiße Creek to that other waterway.
Until next time: Pedal on!
