The power of the river

by Tryan Hartill

On this beautiful Sunday I decided to head out to my family’s property and see how things looked with my new camera. I had heard that there was more damage out there this year than the last 10 combined, and they were right.

My USB cable wasn’t working for my old camera, so yesterday I set out to find one. As luck my have it, there are none sold locally, even though I probably have the most popular digital camera ever…a Kodak EasyShare. So rather than pay close to 40 bucks to order one from Kodak, I just went ahead and bought a new one. It ended up being the correct choice because I now realize just how crappy my old camera was.


First is picture of where the most damage occurred.


A few months ago there was 8-10 trees standing right where the middle of the channel is today. The old channel was where the gravel pit is now. You can see just the edge of it off to the left. If you were standing on that grassy knoll when we had all of the rain in December, you would be standing in 2 feet of water.


The next photo is about a 1/4 mile down the river. All of this didn’t happen this year, but a good portion was eroded away over the last few months.




Just ten years ago you could walk a straight line from where I was standing, all the way to the patch of alder trees at the corner of the river in the middle/left portion of the photo.

More on the flip….
