Great video! I basically grew up in the Landenberg, Kemblesville, Chads Ford, Unionville area(my parents got divorced when I was about 14, and both of them moved at least once). I worked in Oxford at a machine shop while in high school at Avon Grove in the 80s. I camped at Octoraro lake and at Camp Horseshoe, both on the Octoraro Creek while in boy scouts. I was in a photography club in 8th grade, where we took black & white photos and developed the film ourselves, and my subject was the remains of the old Wilmington & Western railroad in Landenberg. There's not much left, except a lot of old stone trestles over the White Clay Creek, and a cut through solid granite that was dynamited out of a large hill. Most of it is easily visible in the hilly, heavily forested area along Penn Green road.
