Posted by Fred Steiner on October 11, 2020 - 2:40pm

Icon viewers: 
Recently, I was catching up on what’s happening in my hometown of Bluffton
and found Fred Steiner’s interesting piece on Riley Creek.

Thank you, Fred, for sharing some of Bluffton’s past.

I do have to comment on his statement “Swimming in Riley Creek is no doubt
something that never interested you.” This brought back a flood of memories
about my adventures in and along Riley Creek.
