River Watch

First another photo from Jake, this shows a large machine that provides extra air to a burn pile. As to the river, Pam and I went down to the landing in front of Wilderness. I took a hoe so I could rake some of the gravel at the bottom of the river. The good news is that there is very little silt on the bottom of the river at that spot. The river still appears blue/green but when you are down near the water you can see the bottom. I hope that at next weeks meeting I can talk to some of the water quality folks from the geological survey and see if they can tell me why the water appears as it does, but I feel that by summer that the river will be back close to normal.
