You seem to have had a good time, Frank.

But the name of that stream makes me wonder.


I wondered about that same thing, the name. Somehow related to
copper mining?

TC,
R

My dictionary defines
Verdigris as

1 a : a green or greenish blue poisonous pigment resulting from the
action of acetic acid on copper and consisting of one or more basic
copper acetates b : normal copper acetate Cu(C2H3O2)2yH2O
2 : a green or bluish deposit especially of copper carbonates formed
on copper, brass, or bronze surfaces


Did you notice anything odd about the water?
