The 'Quakers', or formally 'Religeous Society of Friends', is a Christian based religion that was started by George Fox in England and the Americas in the 1600s. Quakers settled in small areas up and down eastern seaboard.
Rex Riley and his wife Carol were the caretakers of a 432 acre Quaker summer camp nestled in the foothills of the Shenandoah National Park in Madison, Virginia.
During Rex's stay at 'Shiloh' there were two explosive floods along the front of the camp. The 'Middle River' as it is called, or the 'Conway River' on a map, rushed with the fury of a 500+ year flood, followed 14 months later by a 100 year flood. Both times the road was totally destroyed.
Carol and Rex took pictures of this event and have them displayed within these web pages.
There are also links to Quaker activity in general and Quaker activities Rex is involved with.
