Lack of Believers

"We caught fish and crawdads in the Mill Stream!" I tell my friends as I see them after class today.
"No! Where? I didn't think that anything was in the Mill Stream." Multiple people made statements like this. I hope that they were exaggerating with the choice of saying 'anything'. There had to be something in the Mill Stream, like the snails, leeches, and clams.
Our bigger findings were surprising. I thought that crawdads (or something similar) would be upstream in between Rogers and the library, where it's quieter and shadier, so I was surprised at finding them right in the middle of all of the activity. Even thought the stream may be 'artificial', it's the perfect place for finding 'Urban Wilderness' activities.
