sludge meets glacier sand - the day after
Muddy creek
Our summer is very wet. Yesterday we had the second time in three weeks, torrential rains, which lasted more than 24 hours. Within a few Hours the water rose to the creek, and shortly thereafter followed the flow. One of our bridges over the creek was washed away by the floods. Again, we had to evacuate the beach. Numerous landslides line the Yukon coast between Green Creek and Raven.
My water hole: flooded
morning loosened the clouds. In addition to masses of driftwood are also unexpected treasures down a river. We found this morning an empty petrol can, a good press board and a shattered plastic container.
addition to useful things we find lots of garbage on and in the river
this morning when I followed the creek up, came Lance for me, just as I had reached the point where the bridge had been. In his usual Ungestümtheit he wanted to rush past me. Too late he realized that the bridge was no longer there. In a split second he decided (I could read his mind: stay must be - no, too late - oh oh, must go ), to take the plunge - and landed in the middle of the stream. Fortunately, the water level was going down, Lance would have dared to jump yesterday, he would probably be washed away by the raging waters of which been.
Lance on the other side of the river: still wet but good things
It clarifies
* While in the stream normally clear water ripples, the flow leads to late autumn glacial sand. As a result of the rains bring the brick, sand, shrubs, trees and earth with it.
