In late May, I used the approaching anniversary as an opportunity to take a look at the river. This is the early morning view from Nesbitt Park on the west side of the Susquehanna, looking back on the Wilkes-Barre skyline. This is where the Market Street bridge crosses the water.
The river was running low, with barely a ripple in the water. It's difficult to believe that the Susquehanna grew to more than a mile wide, in the summer of '72.
We'll go upstream tomorrow.
