Dagnamit, do you have any reports of the Kettle Creek Monster of Pennsylvania?

Nothing other than the original report.

That was actually pretty well covered by Stan Gordon.

You might want to check out one of his books or his reports on the Kettle Creek.

In fact, go to his website.

Just search Stan Gordon.

We start in a bark camp.

Tobias was 17 in the summer of 1898, and he was peeling hemlock bark for wages and board on a branch of Kettle Creek in Potter County.

Bark was the reason the hemlock got cut.

The tanneries needed it for the tannin, and the bark only slips off the log clean from about May into August while the sap's running.

It's in trouble again.

An insect from Asia called the hemlock woolly adelgid has been killing the trees across the state for decades, and in some hollows, the big ones are standing dead and gray with the sun coming down through them onto the creek.

The spring on Kettle Creek where Tobias walked up on a Sunday evening has trees over it again, more than 100 years after the fallers opened it to the sun.

Dolores' spring house still has the mortared stone in the back wall.
