Steve and I went to The Drunken Bear today to see any changes that have happened since the flooding in January. We were struck by how much more light we now have coming from the east. Not only is the neighbor's house missing, but so are many of the trees that were located around that house. The river has moved further north from the wall, but the bend where the river turns is still going to be a problem unless something is done. The riverbed in front of the cabin is littered with a huge tree; large pieces of concrete...most likely from the house that was taken by the river; and large boulders that had been moved during the flooding. The view from our property has dramatically changed. To view the mountain which I think is Merchant Peak, we had to go down to the riverbed and look up river...now we can see the peak from the property. We hope something can be done so that this flooding and loss of homes can be stopped.
Below are a couple of pictures comparing the change in the view from our property. The pictures are not of the best quality, but you can get an idea of the dramtic change.
This was the view we formerly saw...notice the trees on the right.
This is the view we now have.
I think this peak is called Merchant Peak...
it is towards the right on the picture above this one.
