Clearfield County Bicentennial Log RaftWelcome, My name is Edward Frank. I have been making a video documentary of the construction of an 1800's style log raft that is being built as part of the Clearfield County, PA, bicentennial celebration. The raft was built in Curwensville and was piloted down the West Branch of the Susquehanna River in several stages beginning March 20, 2004. ed_frank@hotmail.com
