Water Sustains All.....




The Illinois was running as 10,800cfs today. The predicted 45mph winds have not yet materialized. There has actually been a bit of sun AND the days ARE getting longer....hurray! The West Fork,south of Obrien,and Rough and Ready Creek were not at all muddy like the rest of the rivers here. The Kalmiopsis has very little soil on the rocks, and the logging has been historical. Water clarity is markedly different. From $8 Rd. the Illinois looks like the inland sea as it spreads out over its' banks and onto Kerby Flat. I love the sound of the river from the Green Bridge.
