The comparatively gentle gradient continues as we pass Raven Roost and approach Big Piney Run.  This is the only place I have ever observed Ravens in south western Pennsylvania.  What a treat!  Big Piney Run has been another of the major acid pollution contributors to the Glade and Dunbar Watersheds.  An alkali sand project has been placed along the upper reaches of Big Piney Run like its smaller downstream sibling Little Piney and its parent Glade.  The effects of the project have been promising.  Big Piney Run is another extreme gradient stream with beautiful water falls and cascades along a 100 foot drop over a 1/4 mile run as it approaches Glade Run.  In its upper reaches, Big Piney is a very low gradient stream with thick laurel thickets along its banks.  The sand project is in the low gradient section.
